Stanley Cup playoffs

GO RED WINGS!!!

We need to bring the Cup back to Hockeytown

[razor95kds]

Sharks all the way!

[alphaone]

Geez.. first Cheech now Bernier. Nashville's a bunch of thugs!

A 1 game suspension for Radulov is wholly inadequate. There was no difference between that hit and Bertuzzi sucker punching Steve Moore. If the NHL refuses to enforce its rules that disincentivize late, knowingly dangerous, and blatantly illegal hits like this then the Sharks should guarantee that whoever wins this round will not be able to even dream of beating the team they play in the second round. They should leak this or outright say it to the media. It’s Slapshot time, and Colin Campbell and the league are to blame.

Sharks continue to hold their own against the Predators.

Rangers sweep the Thrashers in the east.

[Bill Gold]

^ Just came back from Game #4

[EricLeifermann]

Go Red Wings! Just hope they don't blow this series like last year.

[Alex Cormier]

Go Sabres!

3-0 score so far!

[xzvrw2]

Gah, I agree with you totally Bill and the one aspect that Bettman, Campbell or whoever else (especially our lovable friend Don Cherry) is going to fall back on is the fact that its "play off time" but the respective series' have been pretty ugly thus far, especially the Isles and May, 20 game suspension. Maybe they finally listened to you Bill Western Finals, Ducks vs Sharks is going to be nuts! (Never thought Calgary would come back 2 games like that either)

On another note... GO RAPTORS

Wasn't that suspension just for drug policy violation? The message sent could be even worse this way... It's 1 game for attacking someone and 20 games for doing something to yourself...

Goooo Flames!

[J Flex 188]

Oh yeah, my bad, it was for drug policy violations, though its weird that it just came in the midst of the playoffs.

Yeah, Sean Hill (Islanders) got the 20 games for a drug policy violation, but there was also the Brad May (Ducks) punch which netted just 3 games.

Gotta love that Scott Nichol spear tonight as well as Vokoun doing his best Patrick Roy impersonation (and I don't mean the winning part). The Predators can't even fight fair. 2-2 heading into the third, here's hoping it gets closed out tonight.

[meaubry]

Up late last night - good thing the Wings came through.

I wouldn't have wanted them to come back and play another one, after the stupid schedule (what the heck was the league thinking? back to back games 3 time zones apart?), and 2 extra periods on top of it.

I hope that we get Dallas next, this Western conf. time zone thing is killing my sleep pattern.

[Vince lau]

I hope Vancouver wins tonight.

and Go Raptors Go
