Let's see...with some Photoshopping, I could have Mr. Defense Minister claiming that Colorado is still in the playoffs...

I watched Game 7 in the Philly-Toronto series. Ouch. It's like Detroit's loss - I really can't defend Toronto. Belfour didn't play very well, but it's always impossible to win without scoring. Or defense. It's too bad that Toronto is out of the playoffs now. Random question: when was the last season when no Original Six teams made it to the conference semifinals?

Minnesota won, though, and that's the entire reason why I'm happy today. Having Colorado lose did make Detroit's loss much more bearable. Wouldn't a Minnesota-Anaheim conference final be great?

Let's keep this thread going until the playoffs are done. Next year, it looks like we'll need an NHL thread for the whole season.
