Absolute BEAST of a game between the Red Wings and the Penguins. Penguins had a 4-0 lead, Red Wings just tied it up on a goal by Modano. Jimmy Howard pulled.
Yeah, i'm a Wings fan, but man it's not looking good. Shocked by both Boston and Tampa Bay. Yzerman got that team on the right track. Would be a different story if the Penguins were at full strength.
Looks like going to game 7, and canucks taking stanley cup.. being a canadian i should be rejoicing at the fact vancouver will be the first canadian team to win cup since 93.. but no i'm not.
Without Crosby going to be difficult, we all know avalanche gonna be taking the cup this year.. might as well hand them the cup and save the other 29 teams embarrasement..hahaha

That's how I see it. I'm not even a Pen's fan, but assuming the team is healthy by playoff time, they seem nearly unstoppable.

At the time I knew it was a reach but thought they had a chance to surprise some teams, mainly relying on strong goaltending from Ryan Miller and a decent offense. I do believe it would still look like a respectable pick if not for the Miller head injury. Before the injury (around November 12th I believe), Buffalo was only one point behind Toronto for first place and 6 points up on Boston. Then when the injury occurred, unsurprisingly Buffalo fell apart. Those are the breaks when predicting.
I will say that Boston has looked very impressive since that same time. It would be hard to go against them now.

Well, i guess i'm done with Hockey, now. The Pens are just doing shit. It shocks me how much they have in common with the Steelers right now. Both teams can beat mediocre or bad teams but when it comes down to winning the games that really matter or RIval games, they muck it up. As a Penguins fan i guess it's good to know now that they aren't going to make it so, come playoff time, i wont be sitting around in anticipation waiting for something that is impossible. When you can't or don't want to beat the rival teams you, can't and don't deserve to win a a championship...,pissed off at the Pens right now. Last year they muff all Rival games and this year...,same thing. I dont want to take anything away from the players because there are players that i notice which have a strong foot behind their pedal each night, such as, Malkin, Staal, Asham, Neal and Fluery.

I've loved these playoffs. Massive upsets all around, and the Kings are ripping apart everyone they play. Could be one of the great underdog stories if they go all the way.
It's amazing. Been a fan of theirs for 15 years and it still hasn't sunk in. It's happening so fast. They basically limped into the playoffs losing the last 2 games of the season. I was just hoping that they'd win a game or 2 off of the Canuck's before getting knocked out. It really feels incredible that I'm going to get to root for them in the stanly cup final.
I'm excited! I was starting to think I'd actually never see the day the Kings would hoist the Stanley Cup. ALL HAIL THE KINGS!!!
