Vancouver vs Chicago WAS wild, last night. Vancouver was running off with a shutout till the Hawks made a 2nd-intermission adjustment and roared back to a 3-3 tie. One little booboo though and Vancouver scored on them right at the end,m plus an empty-netter. Bet they'd been scared shitless by the near miss!

Vancouver vs Chicago is going to be a wild series. 7 games

Can't wait for Ovechkin to run over Malkin! 7 games

Boston in 5.

Detoit in..........6. I'd like to say 4, but the Ducks are playing well.

Capitals and Hurricanes win

As the top seed, Boston gets to face the lowest seed remaining--Carolina. That sets up a second-round showdown between Washington and Pittsburgh.

Matchups:
No. 1 Boston vs. No. 6 Carolina
No. 2 Washington vs. No. 4 Pittsburgh

Van vs St L! I think was a no-brainer! Det vs Colum was too! As was Bos vs Mon! (No bleu and blanc, no bleu, blanc en rouge! Next year!)

Pitt, advanced as they should have. But been a Philly fan since 1973!

Cal vs Chi, "Don't make me angry! You won't like me when I'm angry!" Could be decider!

Wash vs NY, The Avery-Tortorella factor! If %$#&^%# Avery plays, they win!

NJ vs Car, he ain't heavy, he's my Brodeur!

SanJ vs Ana, scares me!

Beer, I think you're right. I think the Wings came out tonight and there just wasn't any pressure on them, but they came through in the end. A fluke penalty? Maybe, but the Versus commentators all agreed that it had to be called. Besides, the Stanley Cup playoffs are often about fluke goals and other flukey stuff; in the end though, the guys still had to score the last goal - and they did.
Right now the Ducks are giving the Sharks hell. See you all in the second round - GO RED WINGS, KEEP THE CUP! Cheers,.........mwh

I may have mentioned this if a by gone post. When I was living in Nova Scotia I use to pick up WJR Detroit and listen to their games on a.m radio. About 10 years ago I was traveling in Newfoundland and was listening to a Detroit hockey game on WJR. Wish the hell they had of kept it going. The think about Hockey (maybe all sports)is that you can be doing other things while listening to and picturing in your mind the game.
Love it.

Beer - I have a cousin who lives down here and he gets "FSN Detroit"
as one of the channels on his "Direct TV," satellite package; but, he says that he gets everything but the games. I'm wondering if that is universal or what. Given that the strike of a few years ago drove away a lot of potential fans (as well as ESPN broadcasting) wouldn't you think that Bozo Bettman would be giving games away as opposed locking them up on the NFL network. Go figure.

Yes, I too listen on 97.1 when all else fails, but it tears me apart to know they're playing and I can neither see, nor hear the action.

Thanks for the tip Michael, I will try and see if it works better than what I use from the Red Wing Home Page. Which is: TV: FS-D (HD), Radio: 97.1 FM
However, when I'm listening to the game I loose connection to often and have to start again. Pain in the butt. It is better than no wings though as I don't have all those sports stations that most sport fans have.

Hey Beer - you're right, they are your Wings too, and we're happy about that. Hey, here's a "heads up" for all the Catters here.
I may be behind everyone in "tech knowledge," but I went ballistic yesterday when I saw that Versus was not televising game two of the
Wings/Blue Jackets series; I checked my entire cable line-up and found - NO RED WINGS. Out of frustration I called a Detroit radio station and was told where I could listen to the game on-line and then the guy told me that I could "watch" the game on-line as it was streamed in. Bingo - it worked. No, it's not like watching it on TV, but you get the audio broadcast clear as a bell with the streaming video, plus replays, interviews and post-game shows.

I'm not certain because I was only looking for the RED WINGS, but I would believe that every hockey game is available to be viewed. At any rate, the web-site is: justintv.com, and it's a God-send when the bozo's don't carry your team. How can you not show every game that the defending champions are playing? Sure, I'm biased, but
come on now. Try out the site and let us know what you think, and...GO RED WINGS - KEEP THE CUP!          mwh - Hockeytown South

Sports Illustrated:
Standings.
Playoff schedule (Looks like the first two games didn't go so well for Montreal.)
There are also pictures of skinny (not all parts) women in small bathing suits there. I was pretty sure you wouldn't want to look at that sort of thing, though.

For the record, I haven't ever really recognized the existence of hockey until this thread. I think I might have issues stemming from trying to have some fun skating with friends while some numb-nuts guys (who we went there with) were whacking a puck around at the public rink, and I suspect they were aiming at us.

Well, my Wings were idle tonight, but it's Stanley Cup time and that means that ANY match-up that goes into the third period tied, or enters into overtime, is a MUST watch. The Pens and Flyers was great viewing tonight; and, though I'm not a Pens fan (sorry, Susan, but I've had Sydney Crosby up to my ears)I am a fan of the game and it was nice to see Bill Geurin have such a game - he's a good guy.

Beer, thanks for the civility reminder I forgot to insert in the first post. I have found over the several years we've been doing thse here that informal, friendly PMs to people new to that dynamic have been received well and I hope those of y'all who have enjoyed that dynamic will feel free to sending them as well rather than getting drawn into any "serious" trash-talk.

My own model, here, is the civility that allows fans of opposing teams to enjoy a game along the glass, in person. You don't stop cheering your own team on, just because a seat-mate may be wearing the WORST team jersey in the WORLD, but you try not to spark an alcoholically-inspired "chat" with the security personnel! :~)


And I renew the invitation to Gather at our place at any point in the playoffs. Camping space, beer fridge, and pub dog available.
