Even though I wasn't part of that crew, and nervously applauded the Flame's moves on deadline day... I'm still scrathing my head a bit after what I saw tonight. As I've said before, the dude is stone!! And you know what?... this is a match-up that I want to see during the playoffs!!!

Joe, I couldn't agree with you more. It's the hardest trophy to win in all of sports. Period. Anything can happen in the early rounds, and NOBODY can ever be totally counted out. I've loved the Wings, Bruins (lots of family there), and Canadiens (old school) since I was a little kid. I don't know if Detroit and/or Boston/Montreal will reach, but as long as we have good, tough, competitive hockey (along with fairness & consistency from the refs) the whole way through, I'll be happy... although the "ref-part" might be a stretch!!!
