[strategery blunder]

Discuss all of tonight's hockey fun here!:)

[UrbScotty]

1. How are the Saint Louis Blues doing?

OOPS... They're out of it.

[opiate69]

2. Heh.. and the Wings will be joining them shortly!

[UrbScotty]

3. The Wings are in the second round!

I dare you to name seven other teams who are in the second round!

HINT: The Blues aren't one of them.

[opiate69]

5. like I said.. not for long..

Calgary in 6... you heard it here first.

on edit: I'm not even close to being a Blues fan, but chair and I have to band together against the wing-nuts!

[UrbScotty]

7. That's still no reason to support the CFEE.

Calgary Flames Evil Empire.

[opiate69]

8. Actually,

I used to work with a guy who lives in Calgary. He was a truck driver who delivered product to my company every month... really cool guy. So, I'm basically wishing my long-lost friend some happiness by rooting for his team.... :)

[UrbScotty]

19. There's always next year. (nt)

[opiate69]

20. We'll see..

game 2 in an hour... and I'll be in the back of my sister-in-law's car heading to Portland... dammit!

10. The CFEE is still far less evil than the DRWEE

Detroit Red Wings Evil Empire.

[UrbScotty]

18. That doesn't sound right, though.

BFEE and CFEE sound so similar.

BFEE and DRWEE don't.

22. Dream on opiate69

The Flames will flame out in seven. This is Detroit's year, last chance for Stevie Y.

At least I fervently hope so. I hate any team that knocks my beloved Cancucks out of contention.}(

4. We might not be the best fighters

but damn, we can score and win. Go Tampa!

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

6. One game does not a playoff round make, yank.

Vive les habitants!

[ornotna]

9. At this rate 4 will do

all kidding aside, I like The Habs. My mother was Canadian by birth and I grew up with "Les Habitants". Henri Richard,Yvan Cournoyer,Guy Lafleur,Ken Dryden and Pete Mahovlich were my heros as well. But times change, I've lived in Florida for over 20 years and The Lightning are my team now.

11. I was referring to the Game One score, not my series prediction.

Edit: No, I don't think Tampa will take all four games.

[nickgutierrez]

12. Fear the mighty...

Tampa Bay Lightning? What the hell?

[strategery blunder]

13. Hey, I was simply reporting the score.

Tampa won the first game 4-0. I report, you decide. If you have a problem with this, take it up with the Habs.

[nickgutierrez]

14. #1 in the East?

But the Lightning are a #1 seed. When did this happen?

[strategery blunder]

15. This happened tonight; the series continues.

I suggest a visit to http://nhl.com/onthefly/scoreboard/recaps/211_3_recap.html .

17. Tampa Bay is a good team

Talented, young, good coaching, good teamwork. And they work hard every game, something you don't always see out of the red wings or the *sniff* Avalanche. Underestimate them at your peril. :o

16. Kick

21. Habs fan here

We are far from panic mode here in Montreal but our defense really need to step it up, I think they let Théo (our goaltender) down big time. In short our defense needs to skate out of our zone before making cross ice passes and given Tampaès speed and talent pool thatès a definite no-no.

Look for a bounce in game 2, we might not win but come game 3 at home and our ghosts of yesteryear will be there to haunt the Bolts!
