Who else thinks that the Flames ony have two players that allow them to go this far?

Twellman is getting there.  He led MLS in scoring last season and has been on fire in qualifying for the US.  I'm biased, though.

He's got a pretty good shot at 50 goals.  He's having an awesome year.\n\nGO FLYERS!!!!!!!!!

Last night's game, if I'm not mistaken, Latendresse was on the top line along with Koivu and Ryder. Kovalev was on Samsonov's and Plekanec's second line last night.

I think that the Oilers have a very well rounded team. They have a blue collar work ethic and they finally have a goalie that can make the big saves and keep them inthe game until they can put it away. I think that Detroit will not make it past the first round.

They are doing real well, even better than the high expectations before the season. Pronger is having a fantastic year, and they can pretty much have either Neidermeyer or Pronger on the ice at all times on Defense. Giguere is playing like he did in the 03 playoffs. I don't think they have anyone along the lead's leading scorers, but because they have a well-balanced team and the kids are doing a lot, they are among the leaders in goals scored anyway. Despite all this, attendance seems to be down so there should be plenty of good seats to most games. Go see em'!

Those kids in Pittsburgh are on fire. With Malkin, Crosby, Stall, and Fleury in their line up they've got a great future and will finally make it to the playoffs.\nMontreal Canadiens. Goalie controversy. I'm a bit disappointed with the way Huet is playing right now but it's great that we kept Aebischer. Go HABS.

They're far from formation... they're barely staying competitive.  I hate to say it but they need to pull Giguere and put in Bryz... the team has no confidence in Giguere (obviously he's injured and not playing at a playoff level).  I'm not a fair weathered fan that calls for goalie removal after every goal... I think this is just stating the obvious.  Calgary is far too hungry to keep playing Giguere out of loyalty.

Jarome iginla and Miika Kipruosoff of the calgary flames Dwayne sucks by the way

Sure they can. Both teams are at the top of there divions. Ottawa has the stars, Buffalo plays hard. Buffalo wins 6-2.

Only time will tell... We've all seen rookie's burn up the league, and then not be able to perform at that level in the long run (Selanne and Bure to name 2)... While Sundin has never dominated, he has been consistently good for a number of years...

This is so funny!  I feel the ame way.  which player has mastered the art?  Hmmm............... I really have to think about that, there are alot of players....... all of them?

with forwards like Landon Donavan and Brian McBride, they might have a chance to play for it.

Have to go with the Red Wings.\n\nThe previous post mentioned their age as a factor, however the Red Wings are much younger this year then in previous years.  A lot of their production is coming from those younger members.  (Zetterberg, Dutsyuk, Samuelsson, and Williams are amoung thier top scorers.)\n\nTheir older players (Shanahan, Lidstrom, and Schneider) add leaderhsip and are preforming great.\n\nOsgood is handling the Goalie duties very well.  \n\nFinally, the seem to have a coach in Mike Babcock that the older guys respect and the younger are learning from.\n\nHard to beat that combination. \n\nIt's a long season and lots of things could change after the olympics.  Watch for key injuries at that time that will change the future for several teams.

Yes, i'd say they're the biggest wild card in the West.  I bet nobody wants to play them in the 1st round.  If they keep getting solid play from Vesa Toskala and timely goals from Cheechoo, they can make a lot of noise.  Just gotta tighten the defense a bit.
