im from ottawa. i want ottawa to win but i also want a million dollars so... ya. i think that the final game will be washington and san jose. washington will inevitably win.

Cheer up man. Have some faith in your team, lol. I'd like for Washington to win. Imagine Ovechkin's trophies if they did.......Art Ross, Rocket Richard, Hart Trophy (possibly), Conn Smythe (possibly) and Stanley Cup in one year.....damn.

I'll be watching the Pens and Sens game, although I like TSN a lot more.

I'll be watching Minnesota take on Colorado. The loss of Nick Schultz will hurt but the Wild are just playing outstanding hockey as of late with Gaborik tearing it up and Backstrom providing some very clutch goaltending.

What happened to schultz? And is Foster gone for the year?

Edit: Apenda-something. That sucks for you guys. And I didn't realize Foster's femur snapped. Ouch.


 Yeah, they had to go in and remove his appendix. He'll miss at least the first series and likely a good chunk of the second, assuming we advance. Nummelin is raring to go though, and I think he'll provide some quality play on D. The real loss with Shultz is how incredibly good he is on the penalty kill.

Oh just so everyone knows Ottawa's lost today was a total fluke and it shouldn't happen ever again in the playoffs. ;)

And also Minnesota is gonna beat Colorado.

Pens win 4-0.

Ottawa is very bad, especially that powerplay. They could really learn something watching the tapes of Montreal.

Penguins should win the series in no more than 5.


Rangers win 4-1 over the Devils.

Close game throughout, Brodeur made a brutal mistake to make it 2-1 Rangers, they never recovered afterwards. Should be a close series, I wouldn't be suprised if it went into 6 or 7 games.

 I think the pens are gonna kill Ottawa, they just sucked too much towards the end of the season to get back on top in time for the playoffs.

Yeah, they really squandered those two 5-3 powerplay opportunities. They looked absolutely horrible for most of the game. You could really tell they were the 7th place team. And Gary Roberts, just wow. Only 1 game played after coming back from a broken le, and scores 2 goals in game 1.

What else can I say about Joe Sakic. Mr. Playoffs. Goals leader and OT goals leader as of today.
