RE: NHL playoffs

I don't know that there are any big hockey fans here. I will be rooting for all Canadian teams and hope that one of them will do well. Good job by Toronto after few very difficult years of not making it to the playoffs, they are back.

RE: NHL playoffs

More results.
Pittsburgh Penguins beat NY Rangers 4-2
La Kings beat St Louis Blues 4-2
Anaheim Ducks and Detriot Redwings will have to play game 7 to decide their series.

The Washington Caps are playing NY Islanders in game 6

RE: NHL playoffs

Leafs live to fight another day. Game 7 . It is a shame that they have to play the game 7 with no break though...rather harsh to just play the most important game of the season the next day. It will be all about who is fitter...

RE: NHL playoffs

Boston Bruins get past the Toronto Maple leafs 4-3
NY Rangers do the same to Washington Capitals , same score.
Detroit Redwings beat Anaheim Ducks 4-3

Here is the line-up for the last 8 teams:

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Detroit Redwings
Los Angles vs. San Jose Sharks
Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Ottawa Senators
New York Rangers vs. Boston Bruins

RE: NHL playoffs

Wings go up 2-1 on the Hawks. We'll see what Chi can bring in game 4, but they got outplayed some last night.

Yes AP, it was a battle for 2 periods and then the Hawks caught fire in the 3rd. They win 4-3 and force a game 7 on Wed night at the Madhouse.

RE: NHL playoffs

My Lord.. what a Freaking horrible call by the back official.. he called a foul while the Hawks was on scoring play.. I have never seen anything like this .

The Hawks came from 3-1 game deficit.. That's how we roll in Chicago.. There is no Give up when Winning is always the best option

I'm just glad the call didn't affect the right team winning. In the end, the Hawks scored and won anyway.

Yes it is called conference finals.

Who is going to the finals and wins it?
Looks like your town has a good shot but it'll be Boston!
