    Defintely exciting! I've actually been able to finally watch some in HD while visiting my sister's this week. Big difference from watching illegally online and hoping the stream doesn't go down! My predictions were way off, Detroit really needs to win the next two at home or they're toast. I can't believe how many penalties and giveaways they committed in the 3rd last night. Chicago also needs to step it up, the Canucks are no joke.

    I am not a huge hockey fan... but seeing SJ do so well is great. I remember thinking, "Ice hockey in San Jose?!" And getting laughed at for wearing a Sharks jacket back when the team was new. lol
    The come from behind OT win tonight was the shit!

    Wings are killing me too, Flyers are out playing the B's but losing, my only hope is the Habs beat the Pens! Come on Halak! For me to even root for the Habs is painful. THAT is how much I LOATHE the PENS. I like the Canucks and the Hawks shame they have to play each other and someone has to go home.

    I think Boston will be fine Sanjeev. Actually I'm counting on them to beat the Pens if the get that far. I actually use to be a huge Bruins fan when they had Neely, Oates, and Bourque.

    The days when real men played hockey. Now, we have Cindy "Cry-baby" Crosby.

    Have faith Sanjeev. No doubt Krejci and his stickhandling will be missed, but I'm hoping Lucic will step up his game, and Mark Stuart is soon to be back on defense. In the third period I think they showed what they're capable of when they're playing with the lead. They absolutely shut down Philly in the neutral zone.

    TUUKKA! TUUKKA!

    I was hoping Philly would make it a series but it looks like the Bruins will be bringing their brooms.

    So amusing to see Pens haters here! C'mon Bert, I was hoping you would be a little more creative than using the "Cindy" tag. Seriously, how many of you guys would not want Crosby on your favorite team?

    Go Pens!

    Hahahaha...I'll be honest and say it. I don't want him on my team. I still lean more towards Ovi than Crosby. I don't hate the Pens...I just don't like Crosby :D

    Fair enough. I think that Crosby plays a more complete game than Ovie but Ovie is the most exciting player in the league. My buddies give me sh!t all the time for actually liking Ovie and his game.

    Looks like Boston will make the ECF, hopefully the Pens will be there too. It will be amusing to see how Matt Cooke is treated by Bruins fans and players.

    I still can't believe Mark Recchi is still playing...and is staying healthy while other players get injured. I love that guy!!

    My hate for the Pens goes back to the Ulf Samuelsson days (I also never liked Jagr and Lemieux) when he blew out Neely's knee. My main issue with the new Pens is Crosby. Here is a good example:

    Zetterberg should have punched him into next week.

    The hit by Samuelsson on Neely was dirty, so was the hit by Cooke on Savard this season. How could you not like Lemieux??? Jagr wasn't a leader but was a stellar hockey player. Some fans here in Pitt still don't like Jagr because all of the bullshit whining he did for months before he was traded.

    I give Sid a pass on that one 'cuz it was Zetterberg ;)

    forgot about that...oh well...GO PAVS!! People always talk about Shark's top line with Big Joe. I always thought Pavelski is the best player the Sharks have but even my friends that are Sharks fans don't believe me. It will be a sad day in San Jose when Pavs gets traded...at least for me. Who are people's present day favorite players?

    I agree, even if you hate the Pens. If not for all his injuries, ... who knows what he could have accomplished. Now imagine if two line passes were legal when Jagr and Lemiex played. They would have more than 3 Cups, that's for sure. In case you're wondering, I'm an Avs fan.

    Yes! Wings finally get in the game.
    Here's mine bert: Bill Guerin, Zach Parise (wish he was a Bruin), Niklas Lidstrom, Rob Blake, Pavel Datsyuk, Mark Recchi. And I really like what I've seen from Johnny Boychuk on the B's. He seems like he has a lot of grit.

    The loss of Krejci really hurts, but I think we can overcome it, now that Savard is back. Just slot the SOB(otka) back up the middle where he plays his best and we're still 4 deep at center. I'm sure Julien will play it safe and put Trent Whitfield in for Krejci, but I'd rather see a Brad Marchand get some playoff experience, since he's actually got a future with the team, unlike Whitfield. With a 3-0 series lead, there's no better time to do it.

    All that said, it's frustrating to see all these eastern teams getting killed with injuries while the west seems to be relatively unscathed. I can't think of a single name player in the west out with an injury.

    Favorite modern player? Not sure, but the first that comes to mind is Pavel Datsyuk. How that guy wins so many one-on-one battles in the corners is beyond me.

    I'd have to agree with you there. Watching Pavel skate in the offensive zone virtually untouched around players floors me. Guy is an absolute wizard with the puck. Kane for the Blackhawks is pretty good too, but no one can touch Datsyuk.
