Of the teams I wanted to win, I'm 3/4 for now. I want Washington to win (Dur) Vancouver (I'm from there) Detroit (My Brothers favorite team) and Montreal. Unfortunately Montreal is out but I really only wanted them to suceed because they are Canadian and that's where the stanley cup belongs/never should leave and because I wanted Washington to get their revenge on the habs.

Do you live in Washington now (just curious as to how you became a Caps fan)?

No I still live in Vancouver, I'm just a huge fan of Ovechkin and the fact he is basically a less talented,  Russian Gordie Howe. I of course like Green and Semin and Backstrom and all them too but it's mainly Ovie that made me become a caps fan.

I'm proud of how the Blackhawks played.  They did their best and scared the crap out of the Canucks.

Good luck next round against the Preds.  You're going to need it since they are a much tougher team than they get credit for.

That's cool. And how did your brother become a Red Wings fan? Was he also born here?

Game 1 was, for the most part, dominated by Vancouver, but Rinne was just fantastic. If the Canucks PP wasn't anemic at this point, the score might have reflected the play more. I actually went into the game expecting a loss, due to the emotional drain that was Round 1, but the players seemed up to the task. The Predator forwards seemed to be a little apprehensive...maybe due to their first time in the 2nd round? A bit of rust due to a few days off? Who knows...anyways, they'll be much better tonight.

Yeah, He's just a huge fan of the Red Wings
