All Playoff talk all the time.

Yeah pretty much... Their fans don't support any other Canadian team when they're not in the playoffs (I know 100000+ habs fans and not one supported the Sens during the Cup run).

Haha, I have more respect for that then some people who jump on "Canadian Teams" band wagon's. It's The Habs and then everyone else, nothing else matters. I hate em but I respect that.

That's why Sens fans get shut up in their own building too.

Well I kinda like Vancouver and not that I support them or anything but I'd rather they win instead of Chicago, for example. But they lost, don't really care lol.
But Habs or Leafs, no Diddling way.

Indeed. It's quite frustrating when SENS season ticket holders do one of the following:

1 - Sell or give away their seats to HABS fans because they have a HABS fan friend that they think should get a chance to go.

2 - They pull out their HABS jersey for the HABS - SENS game and cheer on the HABS.

Insert LEAFS where you see HABS and you get the picture for LEAFS games. Throw in the opposing teams fans snatching up the non-Season seat tickets and it's no surprise we're 50/50 or out numbered.

Most of Ottawa grew up as Habs/Leafs fans, so clearly there's going to be a split amongst the fans. Half the sens fans attending games in the playoffs have allegiances first to habs/leafs. It'll take a few more years before some of the young'ns take over as die-hard fans

Wow what a massive resume those Pens have. Everyone should copy their model of organizational success. Forget modeling after Detroit. These guys have 3 whole years of being the most successful.

? A bit of a leap from marakh's post.

Anyway, the Wings' offence is built around a 1-2 centre punch as well.

It will be interesting to see The Wings without Lindstom because without him the puck wont be getting up to those guys as quickly or effectivly.

And Pittsburgh without Gonchar. Those guys will be in a tough spot as well.

Malkin is in big trouble without Gonchar IMO. That right side on the PP will be covered without GOnchar on the point.

Man, Pitts would be smart move Malkin and just let Staal take that number 2 role. What a huge return Pitts would get and what a great team they could be. Malkin being moved will help The Pens more then he ever could in the future.

I wonder if Round 3 starts Saturday or Sunday. Anyone have any idea?

I read somewhere that the earliest that the Eastern Conference Finals could start would be Sunday. I don't know about the West.

Hopefully the Sharks/Hawks start Saturday!! What would a Saturday be without hockey?

Both games are gonna be on Sunday. Sharks-Hawks at 3, Canadiens at 7.

You mean sunday....

Yeah I meant Sunday, don't know why I wrote Saturday

Flyers up 4-3 late in the third after coming back from 3-0 down in the first period. It would be a fitting way to have game 7 end, with the Flyers winning the game the way they won the series.

I gotta wonder if there will be changes in Beantown should they blow this seemingly insurmountable lead.

Wow, they did it.

Again, one of the best games I've ever seen. Actually, that was probably the best game I've ever seen.
