pickledwilly, have some faith. I'm certain the Red Wings will get what's coming to them. This isn't Scotty Bowman time.

Buffalo or New Jersey will give them a run for their money.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm a Wings fan, I'll be crying when they get knocked out of the playoffs. Detroit did a good job of adding playoff grit with Bertuzzi and Calder, i just don't think it was enough to win the cup.

I think the Wild are going to go pretty far. They never give up any goals and have a coach who has won a Stanley Cup (Jaques LeMaire) and wasn't Minnesota in the finals a few years ago, under Lemaire?

Wild vs. Islanders in the finals...And if the Islanders don't get in, I'll say the Devils.

THere playing the Ducks a team that during the PLAYOFFS matchs perfect because Wild have great D and the Ducks have better same with goalies and O fence. And the Islanders are really tough than they seem there my cinderella pick since October

We just lost one then got screwed over by the NHLPA. We can bounce back tho.

refs
they always cause the problems,
change the outcome of the game,
make every1 pissed
that alone would shun me away from ever wanting to be one
its one of the toughest jobs cuz any decision u make is always gonna have a strong opposition
but sometimes, i wish refs would b more consistent, u no?
it seems like they are after 1 team one night, and then the other team in another game
idk
mayb im just mad that the sabres have ben cheated out of so many calls because of crappy officiating

[Kasey Kahne 9 fan]

Well its ok now because we made it through the ref Wings sorry i mean Red Wings
