Nice covering your bases, picking both teams.

OOPS

i see the wings winning their series 5,6,and 6 and then sweeping the finals, but i'm rather biased.
 
 i see the caps/flyers going seven, and hope the caps can do it. should be a great series.  winner will likely play the pens...

a complete 180 from last year.
 
 amazing how fragile chemistry, desire, experience, etc can be on a team.
 
 loved to see Ottawa get beaten & beaten up (especially after that ass Sun columnist called for injuries.)

Did I mention how happy I am that venerable is out of the country?
 
 4 power play goals.  Play agressively, you'd better be able to kill a power play.

well, after the weekend i sum up....
 
 - Finally we beat Montreal (yes, charlie, i play on the team)
 
 - The rangers are much better than i thought.
 
 - the sharks are much worse than i thought.
 
 - if the wild / avs series had to be decided by a 2-game advantage, it would never end.
 
 - pittsburgh is gonna totally sweep ottawa
 
 - sean avery cracks me up.
 
 - my dishnetwork center ice has shown the Bruins 11 times in high definition this year, they are 0-11. last night was in SD and none of the rest of their 1st round games are in HD.
 
 - capitals should ask fans to wear last seasons hockey jerseys to game 5 and see how many of these fans actually have one.

Ahem.  Now that's more like it.  I wasn't happy about giving up 2 in the third, but I'll take 3 in the first 14 mins anytime.

i really don't know who i want to win avs/wild.
 
 i fucking hate the avs, especially since that glass-body forsberg merc'ed his way back in. but i fucking DESPISE jaques lemaire for ruining hockey with the invention of the neutral zone trap...13 years later, and the refs still waffle on holding  or obstruction in the playoffs.
 
 lemaire killed the game, and the only way to rectify it is to adopt a wider, international surface to allow skill players more room to create.
 
 and also, allow more fighting.  less leg-stomps and less axe-handles, and subsequently, less suspensions, if you just allow the boys to sort it out on the ice. disney can go to hell.  they're really not supporting the sport anyway.  see also espn.

I have a feeling we're a game or two away from the annual Mid-April Marty Turco Suicide Watch in Dallas.

Pens are up 3-0.
