Gee Wizz.  The Leafs almost pulled another rabbit out of their ass eh?

You got the LUCK part right baby.....but you'll notice no Leaf fan, player,  coaching staff personel, or media,  will ever agree with that. It's ALWAYS the Terrible officiating that costs Toronto. ....\n  Here's to every team that beats the Leafs this year ;)

Edmonton has found their scoring touch (and not a minute too soon).  They rattled off 5 unanswered goals last night to even up the series.  The momentum has definitely shifted.  The series is far from over, however.  The Oilers still have to go into SJ and take one in their building (no easy task).  I say it goes to seven games but the Sharks fall to the Albertans.\n\n*I joined everyone else in saying that Roloson was not the guy to carry the Oilers deep into the play-offs.  I'm a believer now!*

The Leafs 4-1...WOOHOO!

They'd better! \n\nAfter what the Red Wings did to us....*sniff* (sob)

First of all (and the asker is not one of these people) I'm sick and tired of all these squirrels whining about how the Oilers wiped out the Wings... get over it.  The Oilers are better than the credit everyone gives them.  The Wings lost, life sucks, get over it.\n\nNow with that out of the way, SJ will slaughter EDM.  Roli, along with most other netminders, can't hold off Thorton and Cheechoo.  I'm a Wild fan and loved Roli when he was here.  He's (and Pronger) are the reason they made it to the playoffs.

Good luck, I doubt you will get anything back.  There was a bad call in Edmonton the other night that really changed the game.  Bad calls are a part of the game.

I think they both have to take blame for it. Conklin should have played the puck better but Smith fanned on it so he is to blame too.  It sure is a shame about Rolloson.

They weren't good enough -- and still aren't.\n\nI'm sure they've already booked their flight back home, right after the third game. Seriously.

Like the GM or my beloved Leafs JFJ you've been into the wacky tabacky (he must be  on something with the trades and signings he made) if you think its any other rivalry than the Habs and Leafs.\n\nTake your little rangers-ilsanders geographic rivalry multiply it by 10 times add a dose of animosity for the last century, sprinkle in a cultural difference, and add a linguistic component and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Don't be too cocky Oilers fans... we all counted you out when the SHarks took the first 2.  You might just get back bad karma if you think the Ducks will take this laying down.

Ottawa is punishing.  Their top line are all Right handed shots.  Ottawa will be a force this season.  Corvo is a beast.  Chris Neil is a beast.  So is McGrattan.  The Leafs can't compete anymore.  The tide turns this year with EMERY in goal...

Above all, re-sign the Sedins and Anson Carter.  They've got chemistry on a team that is otherwise sadly lacking in it.  They need to pick up a top notch goaltender (Dan Cloutier was NOT getting it done; streaky regular seasons, horrendous playoffs. Why'd they extend his contract? Idiots!).  Sign Jovo and make him captain.  Pick up a defenseman who knows how to hit rather than skilled Dmen who'd rely too much on the poke check.

I'm very upset to see thhe great season down the drain. but hopefully this will teach them a lesson for next year. I'm not gonna make excuses here, just facts. Lets see, Edmonton, first off, did one hell of a job. Pronger played like he needed to and Roloson showed up hungry. The Wings went in overconfident I think and Edmonton stunned them for the first 2 and 1/2 games with their great teamwork, goaltending, and lets not forget that tricky neutral ice trap style defense that worked out great. Detroit was not slow at all. In every game since game 2, Detroit controlled the tempo, had way more ice time in the offensive zone, and nearly doubled Edmonton in Shots on goal. The wings did great, they got great scoring chances but just weren't finishing on them. Stevie Y and Lang were in the trenches of every play of their shift. Zetty scored at least one goal every game. Maltby did one hell of a job blocking the passing lanes and forceing turnovers on the power play. Shanny had many of opportunities. It's not that we didn't play well. We had the chances, but just could not convert them into points. Now don't get me wrong on this next part, I like Manny Legace a lot, but every game, he allowed over his goals per game average and in nearly every game he allowed 2 goals within the first 10 shots and one game where he allowed 2 goals within the first 7 shots. Ya can't do that in the playoffs. They couldn't pull him and let ozzy play, cause ozzy was injured. I think Manny is an excellent goaltender, but he just had a really bad playoff run. Possibly due to inexperience. I just hope they don't fire manny for it. He got us the Presidents Trophy and he's been one hell of a backup for the past few seasons. lets not forget when we had Hasek and Kujo, Legace was third string and both Kujo and Hasek were injured and Manny played nearly as many games as Dom and Kujo combined, and we won the presidents trophy that year too. I say keep Manny, he just needs more experience as a starter. Hats off to Edmonton for a series well played. they won fair and square. All except for the third goal that was reviewed in game 6. It was def hit down with a high stick that the refs didn't call and then a very controversial kicking motion. but oh well. Maybe next year for the Wings. (((( KEEP MANNY LEGACE ))))

Disappointing to see a Canadian team out of the playoffs, but coming from an Avalanche fan, that's good for me!  Can't really put a finger on what happened to the Canucks this year, started off really well but I think it was a combination of injuries, inconsistent goaltending and Naslund/Morrison/Bertuzzi never really getting going.  I think Crawford's time has come as well as Bertuzzi and possibly Naslund as well.  Will be changes for next year.

i hate the schedule its retarded but the salary cap is great that means you will not see teams paying some player 3 to 4 million when he only averages 30 points a season that's retarded. look at the money your Leafs have spent on Belfour over 11 million for the last 3 years and he did shit for the team and almost 4 of that million was given to him so he didn't go play in Europe over the lookout. and look at the money the Leafs spent over the past 10 years on players that weren't even worth shit but since a team like the Leafs and Rangers that would spend so much money on the name players instead of good players that's want hurt hockey teams like that that would give a 2 million salary to a terrible player as Tie Domi yes i know to the Leafs he is the best ever and they don't even care about Sundin. fuck the Leafs cause they suck cheer for a team that cares about there fans not a team that only wants to get richer like the owners of the Leafs just make the money the Stanley cup comes second in Leafs nation.\n\n\nGO HABS GOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

6 - 5 victory over Florida last Wednesday. The leafs never led in the game until 10 minutes left, and picked up a much needed win late in the game.\n\nSundin, their leader played his best game of the season, possibly best game as a Maple Leaf..registering 4 goals and 2 assists, being involved in every goal they scored that night. He was so good that if Sundin scored one more goal and the game was on TSN instead of LeafsTV, TSN would have given away $1,000,000.\n\nThen, their 53 shots in the game. Their FIRST 40+ shot effort of the season, the most shots the leafs have had on net in over 10 years. It was a pleasure to watch, and by far the best game the Leafs played in the past few weeks.

I'm not satisfied!!\n\nI'm a Duck's fan and I wish they could win the cup this year; however after game one I told my girlfriend... "My prediction is either Edmonton will sweep us or the series will go to seven games."  After tonight it looks like (sadly) I will get it right with the first guess.  \n\nEdmonton is not a true Cinderella, they finished eight but the bottom three teams were playing musical chairs at the end of regular season... it won't a big surprise if they go all the way.  Too bad for the NHL and tv ratings.\n\nAs consolation to all Duck fans out there we can say the Ducks are mightier than at least 26 other teams in the NHL (by virtue of actually making it to the conference finals).
