Yeah, but they aren't the whale.

Hasek leaks more than a mobile home in a hail storm, Babs made the right decision here. Ozzie, though known for weak and trickle goals, had the best GAA in the league. Can't argue with that.

Dom needs to concentrate on his groin and clothing line. Czech that out!

well a 2-1 win it wasn't pretty but up 3 games to 2 is nice.. hell if they can win every home game they can win the cup.. franzen is the man..

A late-series collapse by the B's against those fucking habs? Jeez, couldn't have predicted that. It's like three decades ago all over again.

Fucking canadiens. Hate montreal.

Sigh.

Wings-Avs Second Round - thank God for Jeremy Roenick (for now). Didn't think the Sharks would pull it off and we'd end up playing the damn Flames again.

Tomorrow night..

Ok time to prognosticate a bit:

# 1 Detroit vs. # 6 Colorado - My pick = Detroit in 5 - Theodore will steal a game but that's about it - Detroit's firepower will smack down the Avs who were clearly playing above their ability in round 1

# 2 San Jose vs. # 5 Dallas - My pick = Sharks in 7 - Sharks had a second win in game 7 of the first round vs. a tough Calgary. Dallas had a short break after their 6 game first round series so they will come out strong and maybe even steal a game at San Jose in game 1 or 2 - but in the end the Sharks will grind it out

# 1 Montreal vs. # 6 Philadelphia - My pick = Montreal in 6. Is this series even worth watching? Montreal struggled with Boston in the first round and will continue to struggle a bit in round 2 but Philly is weak and the # 1 seed will at least make it to the big show for Eastern Conference finals against the Pens who will smother them out

# 2 Pittsburgh vs. # 5 New York - My pick = Pens in 6. My original thought was Pens in 4 as after a decent rest after the sweep in the first round they are going to come out strong in round 2. But during the regular season NYR duked it out fairly well with the Pens. If the Pens had solid goaltending they would sweep this and round 3 but they don't so they will need to play solid defense and more importantly pepper the head bobbing bitch Lundgvist who will gladly allow 3-5 goals a game to the Pens.

I was pulling for Boston - fuck Montreal..

Wings 4 Avs 3. Good way to start the series. Osbad was looking a little weak tonight and making me worried. Wonder if Hasek is feeling any better and if he is practicing. Might need to bring him back.
