Many speculate that he has played his last game as a Hurricane... and possibly the last of his career.

If so, he will be missed. A true HoF player in my book.

A very respected player in these parts too.

Bruins are in the playoffs, but I think they will be one and done?

A great player and a class act as well.

As for the Blackhawks First round opponent:

Quote:

Should the Hawks lose on Sunday and Los Angeles beats Colorado, the Hawks would meet Nashville in the first round.

If the Hawks lose and the Kings lose in regulation or overtime, those two teams would play in the first round.

A Hawks win would give them eighth-seeded Colorado in the first round.

No way can the Hawks and Detroit meet in round one.

They made the dance.
I think they can win a first round even against washington. If they don't win a first round I sure hope they make it interesting and make it a seven game series. Make the other team wish they didn't play The B's.

I know they have very good team D and Rask can stone the best of them. just no one to put the puck in the net.
I think they are going to have to clean house.
I would start with the GM and work my way down to stiffs like Ryder.

Joey Kocur reborn? What a knockout.

Never want to see a player leave on a stretcher though, ever.

Wings take the 5th seed by beating the Blackhawks 3-2 in OT

Left the season series to 3 games a piece. Maybe they'll settle it in the playoffs

Just emotions from the Hit To Savard. He gets everything he deserves.
But Man he will feel that one later

Flyers make it in via a shootout!

I'm so happy to be wrong.

And they get the matchup they have the best chance of winning. Not suggesting they should be favored in the series (by a long shot) but they have played some of their best hockey this year against the Devils.

Sports' best playoffs (IMHO) are about to begin!

Great weekend of hockey. I was really suprised the Hawks didnt handle business today, If they had the Wings would have finished 7th based on points and wins differential. That said I am glad to a certain extent the Hawks failed. Now the Hawks and Sharks get easier first round opponents. If the Hawks had won in regulation Sharks vs Wings would have been the first round.

The Sharks game last night with the minimites was a kick in the pants. A lot of people took pics and they got on the jumbo tron a few times. Micah's 4 but all the others were 6ish. Imagine nine 6 year olds in oversized hockey jerseys running wild.Felt bad for the people in the row in front of them. We had to split them up after a while. Nichol brought all the boys into the locker room after the game. Well all but Micah who got scared and froze at the locker room door. Scott came back and got Micah's jersey though and had Marleau, Setto, Pavelski, and some others sign it.

Side note anyone who is looking for a deal on gear.

Hoping so.....Wings saved themselves a little travel by getting 5th and Phoenix. Could be a good series, both are playing well.

Congrats on the West, Mike. And actually if the Hawks had won in regulation, the Wings would have gotten the Canucks and not the Sharks.

Ahbroody · 04-11-2010, 09:57 PM

how is that Tom. Nashville and det both would have ended with 100 points.
la has 101 and would have taken 5th seed. Nashville has 3 more regulation wins then the wings so with equal points would have had 6 seed and vancouver.

now I am doing all this from my phone but I am pretty sure that's correct. I could have sworn even the Det tv announcers said the same.

I just looked at it and you are absolutely right. The Hawks announcers gave the matchups before the game, and they were wrong, and I am an idiot for quoting them without just checking myself.

Ahbroody · 04-12-2010, 02:18 AM

lol definetly not my brother. I think that title goes to me for thinking Bersmoochi would hit 25 goals this year. He could have if he didnt disappear for 2 months of the season.

All in all I am just glad the Sharks dont have to face the Wings in the first round. The way my luck is going they would have lost and I would owe Christos 5 cigars also.

In the East I really see the top 4 seeds advancing, with the wild card being Philly, but I think goaltending will bite them again. In the West I just dont know. The Coyotes style of play stacks up really well against the Wings, but the Wings are so hot lately. The season series was split I believe 2 games each. The Kings vs Canucks is another one, that I just dont know.

All I know is I love hockey and will be watching till the end regardless. Good luck to all who have a horse in the race.

romwarrior · 04-12-2010, 03:33 PM

So thanks to that Wings OT goal, the Kings get Vancouver. Should be an interesting series. Kings tied San Jose for best road record in the West. Vancouver had the worst among playoff teams.

I think more than any other series, as their goalies go so does the series. We saw what the Kings can do against a shaky Luongo (8-3 victory) but we have seen all too often what the Kings can't do with a shaky Quick. We'll see which Jonathan Quick shows up. The pre-Olympic Quick that was 35-17-3, or the post Olympic quick who went 0-3-3 in his last eight games (2 no-decisions) while trying to secure win no. 40. I'll go ahead and make my homer pick and say Kings steal one in Vancouver and hold serve at home for a win in six.

I've got tickets to all the home games so I am very excited. First time in eight years I will be able to really cheer in the playoffs! Go Kings!

icehog3 · 04-12-2010, 10:20 PM

Besides the series with "your" team in it, what series are you looking most forward to in the playoffs?

For me, it is the Wings Vs the 'Yotes. Should be awesome hockey.
