Detroit in 6 over Anaheim.

Detroit in 6 over Anaheim.

Just for the pure excitement of it all, I'd love to see it go 7 games.

 

[SabresRule]

I'll save my Conference Semifinal predictions until after the two Game 7's tonight.

 

[cjwct]

Rangers and Caps 1-1 at the end of 1st Period . . . Rangers gave up a bad goal, but other than that, they have only allowed 2 or 3 shots on goal the whole period . . . looking good!

 

[cjwct]

My prediction:

A low scoring game gives the advantage to the Rangers and that is what we will see as the Capitals with Game 7 on their minds from last year will not be pressing so much nor going full speed

Rangers 2-1 with the tie-breaking goal happening in the final three minutes of play

** I will also not be surprised to see this game go into Overtime

cjwct . . . good prediction . . . 1-1 going into the 3rd Period !

 

[SabresRule]

It's hard to believe the Rangers are in this game after two lopsided defeats.

This seems different- in their three wins, it was Henrik going up against a shooting gallery and winning.

Tonight, he isn't doing much.

Two very tight (tie) games this evening. We might be going to overtime in one or both games. hope the Caps pull it out in the 3rd period.

OK,
Rangers / Caps is on VS

Where is the Devils / Panthers game on ?

It's game 7 's so I would hope it's on somewhere.

The Caps-Rangers game is being carried by the local Comcast Sports Net in the DC area and there are showing rerun of a mixed martial arts event on Versus. As much as I enjoy the MMA, I really wish the Devils-Hurricanes game were being carried by Versus. As always, there is 'no hockey" coverage on NHL Network.

 

[Jimbo]

Way to go NHL Network ....

Your pretty useless when it comes to the most important time of the year

Has anyone dropped them a line to let them know about our displeasure with thier lack of coverage ?

Should we all flood thier website email box ?

Caps eliminate the Rangers.


Bruins await either Penguins or Hurricanes.

Where was this Rangers team for the past 3 games?

I'm happy the Caps won- I have them playing Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Sorry buddy!

The Rangers put in a heck of an effort tonight! :up

Rangers played good hockey down the stretch to get into the playoffs- in early March, I didn't think they'd get in.

BTW, you think the Rangers will keep Tortarella for next year, or is this an interim thing?

 

[riffjim4069]

Big win by the Caps this evening...former Red Wing Sergei Federov scores the winning goal. Yikes! The Rangers played very well in this series. Yikes! I just noticed Carolina scored a late 3rd period goal to tie it up at 3-3. Of course, it would actually be nice to watch this one on the tube.

Bruins will face the Canes.

Bill, this series will feature a name you probably remember- Sergei Samnonov.

Crosby-Ovechkin at long last.

This is the NHL's dream matchup, their equivalent of LeBron/Kobe.
