I just about shat myself when the Flames blew a 3 goal lead in the second.

But they came out with the W in the end. :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

It's anybody's series now...
Indeed.  This one is the best series of the first round, by far.  Rangers and Caps are in second, but no series can match the scoring, hitting and pacing of Chicago-Calgary.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Good work by the Devils and Flyers.  A shame about the Red Wings, but hopefully they'll do me a favour and destroy the Canucks in round 2.

They beat the Southleast Division winner. /golfclap

You know, quite a few people think Washington are a pretty good team these days.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Anaheim :cool:

I'm really surprised by how well Hiller is doing. Not at all by how Thornton has disappeared.

The irrational Wings haters on this board have always failed to notice the real kings of choking, the Sharks.

The Ducks will take out the Wings in a hard fought series while the Canucks sweep whoever survives the Hawks Flames series.

The Canuck's road to the cup will be less difficult then it could have been.

Meh, Goalies look a lot better when the other team cant hit the net.

ANARCHY!

Quote

After Greg Goloborodko, a 25-year-old Ohio State student, threw the offending cephalopod during the playoff game on Tuesday at Nationwide Arena, he was subdued by a combination of Blue Jackets fans and security and immediately hauled before the Great and Powerful Gary Bettman. From the Columbus Post-Dispatch:

    Goloborodko said he was detained by arena security, threatened by angry Jackets fans and enjoyed a chance encounter with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman before being escorted from the building.

    "As I was being held downstairs, Gary Bettman and his security guys walked by," Goloborodko said. "Like any good hockey fan, I recognized my commissioner and yelled out, 'Hey, Commissioner.' "I heard Bettman say, 'I'm not happy about this one bit.' I don't know if he was responding to me or talking about something else."

Other fun facts: The octopus weighed 2 1/2 pounds, and sailed an estimated 60 feet over the barrier and onto the ice. Goloborodko named it Homer, in honor of forward Tomas Holmstrom. It's his fourth career octopus throw.

    "I had a nice wind up and the little guy just flew," Goloborodko said.

    Elsewhere in Nationwide Arena, Blue Jackets fans pounced on a fan in a Red Wings' No. 91 Sergei Fedorov jersey before he could heave an octopus.
