All Playoff talk all the time.

Howard's first taste of the post-season too, that was a little risky. But the Sharks are better - WHEN the secondary guys are going and it's not just Thornton, Marleau and Arsehat.

It's still a loooooooooooong way from even the Finals of course. A lot can happen. A lot of choking can be done.

I still got Vancouver going to the Finals against Pittsburgh.

Wow, I didn't check the scores before heading to bed. Thought that one was in the bag when it was 3-1 (with a disallowed goal on top). I guess they ran out of steam. This one may be a sweep and 7 more of my pool picks gone. I'm done. I blame myself, of course for not following my own advice.

Two games in a row where The Crosby has zero points? Help! Is the sky falling?

Wings down 3-0 in the series... wow... not what I was expecting... dare we say sweep?

Habs are doing a good job getting to Crosby... but others are stepping up for the Pens.

Wings are still the better team even if they dont win this series.

Cleary they aren't the better team.

There is no chance I would take SJ lineup over Detroits. Maybe the goaltending though, Howard cost that team huge last night.

1.Why does Crosby pick now to suck, why not last round?

2.I would NOT start Howard again. Sorry, you're coming along, but you're not there yet and I have a Cup winning goalie sitting on the bench.

3.How did the Canadiens not with that last night with Halak's performance. They're in deep, deep, deep Dung.

1.Why does Crosby pick now to suck, why not last round? Rookie coaching mistake - The line that shut down Crosby should have been up against him from the first shift of the first game.

2.I would NOT start Howard again. Sorry, you're coming along, but you're not there yet and I have a Cup winning goalie sitting on the bench. - Totally agree. It's desperate times so now we'll see desperate measures. I would be surprised if we don't see Osgood for game 4 to be honest

3.How did the Canadiens not with that last night with Halak's performance. They're in deep, deep, deep Dung. It sounds like the Pens tightened up defensively. Also they seem to have something extra for road games in the playoffs this year.

I won't be surprised if we see Osgood in net for the Wings tomorrow.

I'll be surprised if he's not.

I'd be surprised if he's not as well.

me too

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Osgood should come in.

Seriously though, that Couture goal KILLED the Wings. They're dead now.

goalies are like picthers in baseball.. dont' draft them... just throw money at the good ones!

A PPG and an empty-netter. That's stepping up?

I think perhaps the better defensive zone play could qualify as others stepping up.
