I am not disappointed at all.\n\nIn my opinion they deserved it, It's called Karma.

Bad refs!! (Just kidding)\n\nUmmmm - We don't know. Personally - I looked at every single aspect (including ownership Bill) \nPhila has made a lot of changes in every different catagory.\nEsche has to go and he wants to go. / Nittymaki is a backup goalie who'se only playing because Esche's heart is not in Phila.\n\n*I'm only now beginning to agree that Hatcher has to go. / An enforcer was called up from the minors today and that's a damn-good indication that they're looking to get rid of their old enforcer - Hatcher.*\n\n**Peter did not skate tonight - he has the flu. The flu?\nOK - With-that Phila played their best game in a long long time... so this might be an indication of some captain-conflicts within the team.... / I have said since the season began that Gagne should be captain but Gagne held-out for more $\n*Peter is also having reoccuring ankle problems and the Flyer's new GM stated today that he's not untradable. / At the end of the season he's free-picking for any team.\n\nIn short - I don't know..\nBut I can say that I love these kids and I'm proud of them.

Unfortunately, they lost.  Poor Mike Smith's first goal he gave up was a rough one - a shot all the way from center ice....hopefully they'll do better tonight against the Flames.

I am extremely happy, I hate them, and all of their players. They are a bunch of conceited assholes!!!! I think losing serves them right, since they always seem to think that they are above and better then everyone. The owner sucks too, he things he and his teams are the best that there is, WRONG. I am hoping that the AV'S win, but it's not looking so good.

Absolutely! Hard to coach a bunch of old guys who are hurt. The GM should have been fired instead for all of the poor moves or the lack of good moves. Interesting that both the Leafs and the Raptors, (both owned by the same company) failed to make the playoffs. I'm thinking changes need to be made at the top and not the coach.

Go wings...Avs suck, case in point, 2 loses on NHL on NBC and one of them a 3-0 shut out!...F**K THE AVS!

No....for a number of reasons......losing Mark Eaton for 2-3 months really hurt...he was becoming the best defenseman they had, and they already miss his shot blocking and penalty killing abilities. They really have no one to take his spot, and Brooks Orpik is being slowly brought back after his hand surgery. Sergei Gonchar has struggled since Eaton was hurt (9 points - 2G,7A, +1 before the injury;3 points - 3A,-3 after it). They don't have the necessary toughness yet, their face-off success is low, they take too many lazy penalties, Marc-Andre Fleury has been somewhat inconsistent (although he'd played several very good games) and their power play has been struggling. Interestingly, Sidney Crosby is not used to kill penalties at this time (thereby leaving their best offensive threat  to languish on the bench for extended periods of time). While Malkin has been shown to be the real deal, his supporting cast has struggled...John LeClare and Mark Recchi two proven scorers in past years) haven't been exactly red hot, and neither has Colby Armstrong. Michel Therrien has tried numeros combinations to get more goals, and he still hasn't been satisfied with the results. They do have a promising team, however, so that while they won't make the playoffs this year, with proper draft choices and trades, they could be a real challenger for the cup in the near-future.

Legace is not the problem.  The wings got over confident!  Legace is awesome!  I will be a fan of his no matter what team he plays on!  And it BETTER be the WINGS!!!  lol

sometime in the next decade or so if they ever quit rebuilding their team.  any team with lindros never goes too far. just believe it someday they will rise again.  look to see the wings and how long it took them to rebuild and get to where they are now.

My head says yes, and i hate myself for saying it. With as much talent on the team as we have i think Babcock is going about breaking up the trap the wrong way. I think (and i realize that he knows a bit more than me) that instead of splitting the talent over all 4 lines he needs to Bring Zetta and Datsyuk back together and put Willie with them for a speedy tricky line that can break past the trap. And Legacy needs to come out, he's given up to many easy goals, especially in game 3. But i do give props to Edmonton. I always hated them, and now i hate them even more, but MacTavish had put together a smart style that has shut down the wings "explosive offense" (in MacTavish's words)perfectly. If the Wings can't beat the trap then they are out to the Oilers.

Red Wings.\n\nI'm a Eastern Conference guy though, so I'm rooting for the Senators, although I'm wary of their recent history of playoff disappointments.

It's true Manny let in some soft goals.But goaltending was not the problem.\nThe Wings are not an old team even though we have a couple of forty-somethings on the roster.\nIf you look at the stats, scoring was not the problem as the two teams were within a goal or two of each other.\nCoaching and poor transition defense was the downfall.Babcock made absolutely no adjustments to attack Edmonton's trap during the series.\nWhen Edmonton came on the rush the D plain and simply got beat.\nP.S. I believe this is the end of an era in Detroit. "The Captain" will announce his retirement next week. It just won't be the same without number 19 on the ice.We will miss you Stevie Y!!!!

I'd so dearly love for my Bombers to take the cup, but I seriously doubt it. I don't really care who wins, but my boyfriend is a Collingwood supporter, so I hope it's not them (I couldn't take all the gloating and bragging! It was bad enough last year when my mum went mad after the Swans won!)
