Sabres, Devils, Thrashers, Pens.
I would have loved to see the Devils meet the islanders and then watch the lslanders blow Monsieur Brodeur out of the water, but I don't think it'll come to that.
Would be so exciting though - and stranger things have been known to happen (ie. Edmonton last year).
Plus how great would a real (ie not Clemmensen) new york - new york meeting be?
And then Buffalo and vancouver in the big matchup.
I can dream...

Oh, blueandwhite, I'm hurt deeply. Honestly, though, I'm not to confident about our chances either. Goaltending situation's a little scary, and I'm wondering how the kids will handle their first taste of playoff hockey. But hey, here's hoping they go far!

[blueandwhite]

Senators must be beaten, i will say that - they MUST.

[bears9]

why is that?

[blueandwhite]

Because I don't want them to win. A leafs/senators thing. A rivalry. You know?

[bears9]

i guess? (i think )

[blueandwhite]

since you're the number one chicago sports fan, do you love the blackhawks? do you hate someone cause you love the blackhawks?

[bears9]

i hate the Red Wings which i was i picked the Preds
