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.

WTG Tim Gleason! Puts in the winning OT goal on Brodeur.

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.
