Good move by the Blackhawks to pull the goalie. It looks like they're sending in their 3rd string netminder Corey Crawford.
Absolutely! When the Wings were down 3-0 Friday night they regrouped and almost won the game. However, another cheap penalty by the Blackhawks.
The Wings seem to have taken their foot off of the gas, and the Blackhawks are playing with emotion and putting the puck on net. It's times like these when you wish Lindstrom were in there.
You know, whenever I tune-in to a hockey game on NBC I get the feeling I am being prepared for a tennis match. I love tennis, but please don't mix tennis with my hockey. My assessment of the NBC coverage: the camera work is shabby, the play-by-play guys are shoddy, and the analysts Pierre McGuire and Mike Milbury are sucky.
Unless Carolina or Chicago pull off a miracle, we're likely going to get a Pittsburgh/Detroit rematch.
Anyone remember the last time any of the four major leagues had two teams play for the championship in back-to-back years?

That's a very question Sabre...and I think DetFan has the right answer. The last rematch I recall in the NHL New York Islanders vs. Edmonton Oilers, but I would like to know about the MLB and NBA.
Just looked it up...
77-78 (MLB) Yankees and Dodgers
83-84 (NHL) Islanders and Oilers
93-94 (NFL) Cowboys and Bills
97-98 (NBA) Bulls and Jazz

The big question is...what were the outcomes? Who survived? (I know the Yankees did.)
Bulls and Cowboys won both of their respective back-to-back matches; Islanders and Oilers split.
Unfortunately, for most of us, there is no playoff hockey tomorrow.

IMO it's all ratings, they probably think most people will be with their families instead of sitting in front of their T.V.s watching the game.
