I'm cheering on the Avs...man, I wasn't sure how it was going to be against the Wild, but just wow, OT on both games and man Sakic in the first game!...I'm hoping for the Avs tomorrow! woo-hoo I'm excited, they'll be back in their hometown.

Brilliant game last night for the Devils... Madden's centering try going off Stahl's skate and past Lunqvist...absolutely brilliant...!

(hope I spelled/got all those names right- particularly Lundqvist)

Yeah-- i can't believe nobody's said anything about the Whalers either...
Oh wait. I haven't really been able to watch hockey since 1997

Oh Tom...I went to every single whalers game when I was a kid. Now I'm a Lightning fan. Cant wait to see what they do in the playoffs! ohhh, wait...

But really, I cant believe the Devils beat the Rangers in NY!

Three games. Three trips to overtime. 2 - 1 series lead for Minnesota. The Avs-Wild series may be the best I've ever seen (at least so far). Great play and goal-tending by both teams so far in the series.

Much as it pains me to say it, I'd like to see the Avs win this one. I would love to see a classic Detroit-Colorado series in the second round. (won by Detroit, of course!)

Agreed. Both games were great last night

Go Flyers! Their up 2-1 in their series against the Capitals.
Anyone else see Ovechkin take that dive in game three.

[Engineer]

Go Wild!

I'm a Hurricane's fan... so theres nothing for me to be excited about

Aunt Bee really wants that big sliver BBQ serving bowl back!

So Sean still excited to see Colarado Vs. Washington. Because I think the flyers might take the series

Yup. The series is to four games, not two. Philly fans tend to get a little worked up about nothing (McNabb threw a incompletion!?!?! TRADE HIM! BOOOOOOOO!), and this is more of the same. It 'aint over until it's over.


As for the hopeful Avs-Wings series, I'd love to see that too. That rivalry hasn't quite been the same the last couple years, and I'd love to see it renewed, especially now that all the old Avs stars are back and playing well. Of course we know that Colorado will take it in the end, but it's always fun to watch.


Unrelated side note, I'd love for more and better national coverage of games. Although I get Versus here, local games are covered by comcast (and Versus isn't allowed to some them). This means that I have to endure the pro-Flyers commentary rather than the closer to unbiased coverage of a nationally-broadcasted game (on NBC or Versus). I'm not saying CSN shouldn't also be able to cover them too, but it shouldn't have to be exclusive.

Man, last night's Avs-Wild game was intense....yay Avs!! Theodore was just amazing on his saves and starting out with a different line-up it all quite interesting...still waiting on Stasny's first playoff goal though...hopefully tomorrow night
