Canucks totally dominated the game after the blues scored the first goal...

the blues just looked tired and had no spirit in their game...

but nevertheless... canucks still played very well and i would say it was one of the most entertaining canucks hockey i've seen in a while

Ok first off, The Flyers advanced, like I said. I was impressed with the way both teams complemented on one another. Especially Jeremy Roenick's speech. The Leafs did play hard but ran out of gas in the end. It was truely a great series.

The Canucks managed to come back from 3-1 to steal the series from the Blues. Truely a great comeback. The main line for the Nucks' was the key to keeping the team alive and sending them to the next round.
I'll admit, I didn't really focus on this series alot. But coming back from a deficit is one of the hardest things to do. Congrats Canucks.

Last but not least, the story of the night. The Wild eliminate the Avs in a thrilling overtime of the 7th game. I've gotta admit, the Avs were the better team here. They had plenty of oppurtunities and failed to get the puck in the net. Fernandez was the other reason. The rest of the Wild squad played patiently and attacked at the right times. Should be an interesting second round in the west.I'll make my predictions tommorow.

mixologist, its cool. we're all cup crazy here. as long as the nucks keep going and going. for the record, its a game 7, i can't stand to cheer for the blues thinking it will jinx/curse them. i must cheer for the nucks and so it proves my lame superstition wrong.

i'll make my predictions now.

Dallas in 6
Vancouver in 5

Ottawa in 7
New Jersey in 5

i say nucks in 5 but i'm actually scared of the wild. very experienced and smart coach plus it takes a great team to beat the avs.

I agree. One thing that I haven't heard anyone mentuion is how much of a diffrence Mattias Ohlund has made. If he wasn't in the line-up I don't think the Canucks would have advanced,,, so yes the big line was huge in the last few games... but the 'D' also deserve credit.

Hehe, last night was awesome!!! In regards to my first round predictions. I only got Vancouver right in the West, but all of them right for the East

I knew the Leafs would blow it, I just knew!!! They're bastards and I'm glad they're gone They played a good series though

The Flyers are looking rather good, but they must be tired. I don't think they'll stack up too well against a real defense like Ottawa's. Sens 4 Flyers 2

When I saw Gaborik tie it up late in the 3rd, I knew they were going to win. Fernandez was great in OT and then Brunette just walked by everyone. Shame on you Colorado But all in all, this was probably the best series of the 1st round. Congrats to the Wild. I think Vancouver might have some trouble with this team. The Wild managed to beat the most talented team in the NHL. I think Vancouver's defense will be the difference here, they're so damn big!!! Canucks 4 Wild 2

Anaheim beat Detroit because the Wings were asleep for the whole series. Don't count on Dallas doing the same thing. They almost had a scare with the Oilers . All that aside, I think Dallas has Anaheim matched and overmatched in every domain. That's why I think this upset will be that much more shocking.
Ducks 4 Stars 3

What's left now...New Jersey and Tampa. Well, Tampa woke up after two losses, but I'm not sure about this matchup. If Tampa stays hot, they have a chance to steal a couple games early. In the end though, I think New Jersey will come out on top. Devils 4 Lightning 1

Ok here are my predictions...

WESTERN CONFERENCE

[1]Dallas Stars vs [7]Anaheim Mighty Ducks
The Ducks played well against the Wings but the Stars won't take them lightly. Turco is better than CUJO. Giguere's real test is against the Stars whose offense will be too much for Anaheim.
Stars over Ducks 4-2

[4]Vancouver Canucks vs [6]Minnesota Wild
I believe that the Canucks Top line will keep doing the things they do best, put the puck in the net. The Wild won't go down easy though. They have alot of confidence coming in to this series. In the end, the Canucks will use that home ice advantage and end the Cinderella story run by the Wild. Canucks over Wild 4-3

EASTERN CONFERENCE

[1]Ottawa Senators vs [4]Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers went through hell the past two weeks and survived. Ottawa will find out what hell is when they play the Flyers. The way the Flyers killed the Leafs 6-1 in the last game shows how the Flyers can beat any team out there. The only player I worry about is Cechmanek. He has proven himself worthy in the playoffs. Will it carry over in the next round. I believe so. Flyers over Senators 4-3

[2]New Jersey Devils vs [3]Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning will truely know what the playoffs are all about when they play the Devils. This one's a no brainer. Experience vs Newbies. Brodeur vs Khabibulin. When you have players like Scott Stevens, John Madden, it makes players like St. Louis and Lecavalier a joke.
Devils over Lightning 4-1

My predictions
4-2 Canucks over Wild
4-3 Stars over Ducks

4-2 Sens over Flyers
4-1 Devils over Lightnings

It's going to be interesting how it turns out. If these teams advance to the next round

then I predict
4-3 Canucks over Stars
4-3 Devils or Sens (i think it might be a close one if these 2 teams go together)

And I predict that either Devils or Sens will win the cup... Although I am rooting for Vancouver 100% of the way WOOOOOOOOOO

w00t @ 5 overtime games...Was glad to see the ducks win...TWICE imo.
