    [​IMG] Dallas may be on the outs...The Mighty Disney Ducks of Anaheim took two games in the Stars' home barn!!! This is turning into an interesting year for the playoffs!!!

    I have a feeling that either the Devils or the Flyers are going to take the whole enchilada this year!!! Go Flyers!

    Well, I'm going to be totally up front and honest here, and if I get flamed, so be it.

    I live in Canada, and yes ... up here we have a "It's our game" mentality. The Olympics, the Canada Cup, you bet, I'm behind Canada all the way.

    So frankly, no personal offense intended towards American posters here, it does my spirit good to see a U.S. juggernaut go down in flames. Detroit, owned by Mike Ilyich who tries to "buy" Stanley Cups just before that excessively late trading deadline, "Yes! Yes! Yes, OH YES!!!!" The Colarado Avalance, "Yes! Yes! Yes, OH YES!!!"
    The Dallas Stars, crossing my fingers.

    This is pretty sad, the Leafs, who were taken out first round, have played more games than the Mighty Ducks, who are half way through the second round.

    Well I must admit that I would never have anticipated that Dallas would get taken down by the Mighty Ducks but I am quite happy with it. :)

    I think that Vancouver will likely finish off the Wild in game 6 but after that who knows. Ottawa and New Jersey seem fairly evenly matched but I would put my money on the Devils mostly due to Brodeur.

    For the West I really don't know. I am tempted to say that the Duck's can't keep pulling upsets out of their helmets but after taking out the top two teams it is very hard to write them off. The Ducks have had excellent goaltending and I don't think that Cloutier, Roloson, or Fernandez have shown that they can steal games the way Giguere has.

    I want a Vancouve/Ottowa final. I'd rather have Vancouver win, but if they can't then it better be Ottowa.

    [​IMG] Ouch, Vancouver just got crushed again. How on earth do you manage to lose 7-2 and then 5-1 after going up three games to one? :eek: I can see losing a couple of one goal games but getting blown out twice in a row? If they don't win game seven they are going to make the disappointment of Toronto's pathetic game seven performance seem like nothing. :(

    Hmm, I wonder how much the Mighty Ducks paid the NHL schedulers? Game one of the Western final is scheduled for Saturday meaning that the winners of tonight's game 7 will be playing their third game in four days while the Ducks will have had four days rest. :nolike:

    Well, Vancouver bites the dust. So no all-Canadian final anymore :(

    Let's see how Giguere plays when he's only facing 15 shots a game against Minnesota rather than the 30 shots he is used to against Detroit and Dallas.

    [​IMG] I think both Conference Finals are going to be good!

    Ottawa v. Jersey, a battle between no. 1 & no. 2...I'm hoping for Ottawa, but I think the Devils will win it!

    Ducks v. Wild, no.6 against no.7, and both had to come up with impressive wins to get there. I think this will be the best series of hockey...Even if the only name you know is Paul Kariya.


    The poor Flyers....The horror. Time to dismantle. See if we can get a skate sharpener in trade for LeClair. He was a 4th line center before he started playing with Eric Lindros, and he's played like a 4th line center since the Big E left town. I think they have a decent nucleus to build from with young guys like: Justin Williams, Kim Jonsson, Simon Gagne and Michael Hanzus...Hopefully a few nice off-season deals and the Fly-Boys may be ready to contend for a Cup!

    Hmm, I certainly have never liked the Senators but don't you think it would be appropriate as a patriotic Canadian to root for the only remaining Canadian team? Oh wait, we don't believe in patriotism here. Sorry my bad. ;)

    So, what's everyone thinking now, with a New Jersey vs. Anaheim final? Or better yet, who saw this coming! Seriously! Personally, I'm for the Ducks.

    I lost interest already and quit watching the playoffs. I guess I prefer the Ducks because New Jersey already won the Cup recently.

    I voted for them to win, but I had no hope they would make it this far.

    Go Ducks! :thumb:
