i doubt detroit will take them in 4. It'll be a tough series. no body wanted to play calgary going into the playoffs cuz they been on such a streak to get where they were. Vancouver got the unlucky spot of playin them. and without bertuzzi even worse.

I wanted to play colarado round one, playin a team like them brings out the best in the wings. Wings have trouble getting up for lower place teams in playoffs so it gets worrysome.

Hopfully toronto can take it tonight. GO LEAFS!!!!

Props to vancouver for tying it late the way they did tho.

[edit] just saw a vid of the OT for nucks.... Was Calgary on a powerplay in OT that early? how the hell did that happen? usually its hard as hell to get a call in OT

Jovo had a penalty during the last little bit of the 3rd period and it carried into OT.

Well, Vancouver actually took a penalty in the closing seconds of overtime, then they scored, but of course the penalty carried over to OT.

I hope the Leafs win tonight as well. The Flyers handled them easily in all but one game this year, and we've had much more difficulty with the Sens recently. Either way, we're getting a nice rest and it will be good to start at home.

oh yea.

forgot about that cuz it was 4on4 to end the 3rd. didnt want any of OT.

thats brutal. if it wasnt for that 4min penalty, i think vancouver would have taken the game.

Wasnt his fault on it obviously just a bad luck penalty.

Bouncer.....Crawford did say Hedberg was "Terrible" but that was only on one account, and he appologized for it...Honestly, and i dont want to make people mad with this, But the Canucks did deserve it more, if you look at Calgarys team. they have the Goalie with the best modern day goals against average, They have the leagues leading scorer, and they have a bunch of talented rookies or sophomores. We didnt really have anything towards the end of the year.

I like Crawford, i think hes a good coach and they should keep him, (i think) he has the best record for a Vancouver coach.

And for Burke, i didnt mean to say he would get fired, his contract is up, i meant to say they wouldnt re-hire him. And i dont know why, he kept a good team core together. And he got Linden back, if we switch GM's again, some of our good key players might get traded in stupid pointless trades.

So, since when did having less automatically mean that a team "deserves" it more? Sure, more people may be rooting for the team with less because they are the underdogs (which Vancouver really wasn't anyway), but it certainly doesn't mean that any team deserves it more than the other. If a team is well put together by management and coached well, they deserve it just as much as the team who doesn't have as much.

I just meant because we fought without some of our key players to win the division, then get a game 7. .....And yes, we do deserve it more :P

Only just? Oh I see. Interesting explanation.
By "we" do you mean you and me?"That was not very polite"? Yes? What about after its done?
