2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Jimbo]

What's up with us having to beat both Canadian teams in order to get some where. Can we have some dam start times earlier than 9pm! This is killing me.

Win the next round and you just may !

I think it would be a lot of fun seeing the Wings and Blackhawks in the Conference finals

That's 9pm eastern time 8pm in Chicago.

Here are my second-round predictions:

Canucks in 7- this will be an intense, hard-fought series. In the end, home-ice and Luongo will ultimately be the difference.

Red Wings in 6- Anaheim will take it to Detroit tooth-and-nail, but Detroit's scoring depth will be the deciding factor. The Ducks have a good top scoring line, but who else can put the puck in the net? Also, keep an eye on Jonas Hiller- can he keep up this hot goaltending or will he hit a wall?

Bruins in 5- I think Boston's better, and Carolina might be a little exhausted after their seven-game slugfest with the Devils.

Capitals in 6- I think Washington's additional firepower will be the difference.

I'll take Chicago over the stink'in Canucks

The rest I agree with.

Wings and Duck will be a classic battle...

I expect to have some front teeth missing by the end of this series!!!!

Also, keep an eye on Jonas Hiller- can he keep up this hot goaltending or will he hit a wall?

That's funny, everyone was saying the same thing about J.S. Giguere in '07!

They finally came out to play, they looked asleep earlier.
