Not many people, I'm sure.  Was it broadcast nationally or internationally?

Well, I was at Game 1 on Saturday, and it was just awesome. The Canes shutout Martin Brodeur on his birthday 6-0. What the Hurricanes saw in Game 2 was the real Devils, and they proved that they can make a big comeback against them. I was turned in disbelief after Scott Gomez scored with 20.7 seconds left, but then turned my head to watch the rest and Eric Staal scored with only 3.0 seconds left in the 3rd. I called my friend after the goal, and it was sooo loud you couldn't hear anything she was saying. All I can say after Niclas Wallin scored in OT is, \nLETS GO CANES!!! ;)

I was around and remember it well and it was very exciting to watch.\n\nWhen Canada lost the first game in Montreal by something like 7-2 it was very depressing for all hockey fans because we all thought Canada would destroy the Russians.\n\nThe one thing most people don't talk about is that the series was held in the fall before the NHL season started and most of our players didn't train as hard in the off season as they do today.\n\nThey were not really in top form like the Russians were and there is no doubt that they took the Russians too lightly.\n\nPhil Esposito was the leader of that team and he played great as well as the others when they went to Russia.\n\nWhen Canada lost game 4 in Vancouver and the were booed by the fans Esposito lashed back at the fans saying how disappointed he was with their reaction, when he was interviewed right after the game.\n\nWhen game 8 was played many people including my brother and I took the afternoon off work to watch the game.\n\nWhen Paul Henderson scored with seconds remaining and Canada won everyone went nuts.\n\nThat first series was the by far the most exciting and while there have been some good games with the Russians since 72 nothing can really compare to the first time.

Hockey Rules ! Watched as much as I could, uummmm.......moved the first of May and wasn't able to get OLN, was not a happy camper, But once NBC came in and televised the last 4 games I was glued to the TV. \nDon't ya just love seeing the respect the players give each other with the traditional end of game handshake ? What other sport shows that kind of respect ?\n\nIs it October yet ??

Wow!  That was one of the best games that I've ever seen!  The Oil just came in and took over the game right after the Samsonov goal.  And I loved every minute of it!  \n\nSan Jose looked upset and distraught.  I really think the Oil could take this series!\n\nGo Oilers Go!

The Flyers have lots to prove tonight, the Sabs have some key injuries, anyone who thinks it's a given is delusional.\n\nI finally dumped Joni from my fantasy team and it pained me to do so.     I don't know what the Flyers can do right now, it must be very frustrating being a fan.\n\nPersonally I think Hatcher is a fossil, Peter can't be a one man band all the time either.  Like I said, I don't know what the answers are but I don't think Nedved is going to be a game changer.  \n\nI love my Sabs, but it seems whenever I underestimate a team I get my lunch handed to me.  I drop -12 Joni, so watch tonight will be his night....I make a derogatory remark about Nedved--he'll have a hat trick.  \n\nGo Sabs.....and good luck to Philly....after tonight.:-)

Im not a huge hockey fan, but due to my canadian blood, something sparks in me which i must watch the Stanley Cup Finals. I was rooting for North Corolina, but those last 3 minutes, i wanted to see the Edmonton Oilers score, how intense was that? But when they pulled out their goalie i knew they were screwed... As for being a fan? No, i prefer the St. Louis Blues, and the L. A. Kings.

It's better than just "good," Moon, it is AWESOME! My Sabres are playing so consistently well that none can stop them on their quest of the Cup. I honestly believe we can and will win it all! \n\nKeep rooting for Buffalo because we are going all the way!\n\nGO SABRES!!!

I am absolutely ecstatic (if a bit hungover this morning), Moon! :) On one glorious sporting day, Liverpool won their 7th FA Cup and my Buffalo Sabres defeated the Ottawa Senators to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. You cannot top that! Well, aside from when my Sabres beat Carolina (presumably their next opponent) and then defeat the Western Conference champions (likely Anaheim) to win the coveted Stanley Cup! :)\n\nLast night's Sabres-Sens game was a hard-fought affair, each team trading goals until it went into overtime, tied at 2-2. Typical of the Sabres' grit and determination -- to say nothing of their youth, skill and blinding speed -- young Jason Pominville went in on a shorthanded breakaway just 2 and 1/2 minutes into OT and scored a highlight reel goal that set off a celebration in Buffalo which I could feel here, nearly 400 miles south!\n\nAre we celebrating? Erm, did I not mention that I was hungover this morning? ;) Sabres fans all around the country (and the world) are celebrating this upset victory and feeling very excited about our prospects of winning it all. Bring on the Hurricanes (or the Devils) and let's keep this train rolling right along! WOO HOO!!! Thank you, Sabres!!!\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!!

Were Americans watching anyway?  The answer to that is no, unfortunately.  I am a massive hockey fan, but I also happen to work in the television industry so I understand how ratings work and why ESPN dropped its coverage - it's hard to fault them for turning their back on the NHL (bowling was getting higher ratings... BOWLING, people...).  Americans don't particularly care about hockey enough in general, and while an All-Canadian final is unlikely (only Calgary and 8-seed Edmonton are alive out West), it would certainly turn off a few more televisions in the States.

The link on NHL.com is working now at least. Click on this link:\n\njavascript:var open_child_window= window.open ('http://gameradio.nhl.com/cc/playa.php?url=http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia-live/nhl/9298/20_nhl-minnesota_game_audio_050909.asx','mp','height=320,width=400');\n\nLess then 10 minutes left in the last peroid but whatever, and its 4-0 now.

Yes! That was a great game! Their goalie was awesome! I thought that was one of the better games so far. I was definitely rooting for them. Don't know if I can hope they beat England but I do hope they keep it close.

One of the best runs in NHL history.\nI've been a loyal Devils fan almost all my life. Now I live here in Anchorage, AK- where the Devils are a local favorite because of Scotty Gomez. Tons of fellow fans around make it really fun to go to the bar and watch them play. Hockey is taken pretty seriously up here. The talk around town is that the Devils have a good enough team to  take The Cup this year. Especially after this recent 12-0 run. My girlfriend is a Avalanche fan, so we plan on watching ALOT of playoff hockey soon.\nLETS GO DEVILS
