First playoff game for me since 1997....Hawks only made the playoffs once since then, and I didn't catch any games. Before that, I didn't miss a single home playoff game between 1988 and 1996, when they used to make the playoffs every year.

Have fun at the game tom

GO HAWKS

I guess you win some you lose some.

I watched the tail end of the Blues game, and they didn't seem too bad once they started pressuring a bit more. I saw 2 hit posts, and 1 excellent save, so they can get to Luongo. Luongo can be beat, it just takes quality chances, and tips in front of the net.

Congrats Joe. The Canes have a future beyond this round.

I would grow one but I have a feeling it will come of soon anyway. Looks like business as usual for the Sharks this post season.

I hope they find their heart for game 2. I have never wanted to see the team torn apart, but if they pull another Epic post season failure I think its time. They almost seem to expect to loose in the post season now.

They haven't had the drive since the all-star break. Since then, I don't think they have every looked great. They would have a few good games scattered in between, but would just manage to win a lot of ugly games.

I don't know what management will do if they get bounced in the first round. Who do you keep, and who do you trade off? It isn't the coaches fault, as I never liked Wilson, but McLellan has a much different attitude, and I don't see that as the problem. At the same time, I don't think of the Ducks as a number 8 seed; they didn't win early, and that cost them big time.

Next year, I need to get center ice, as I wasn't able to watch the Hawks-Flames game, and I think that is going to be the best series the first round.

San Jose caught the one team nobody in the West wanted to play in Anahiem. Should be a grinding series but I see the Sharks pulling it out. That said, I still think the Red Wings are the team to beat. But I may be baised!

Yes, they are.....Henrik has been real good as the last kine of defense against Alexander the Great.

Assuming the 3 teams in the West who are up 2-0 win their series, this series makes things interesting.

If San Jose wins, the second round would be:

Sharks V. Blackhawks
Red Wings V. Canucks

If Anaheim wins:

Red Wings V. Ducks
Canucks V. Blackhawks

Looks like either way, the Red Wings and the Blackhawks can only meet in the Conference Finals unless one of the 0-2 teams comes back.
