3-1 would have been huge for us.  I didn't get to watch the game, they took away the NHL package that I was getting for free for some reason! lol.

Sheesh! Cheap shots galore. What was McClennan thinking? Swung his stick like a baseball bat right in front of the ref. Calgary came unglued.
I think this will do the Flames more harm than good, with the NHL trying to clean up it's image and pulling that crap on ABC. I don't think the refs will swallow their whistles in game 6.....and that's the only hope Calgary's got against the Wings.

is iginla going to get suspended for that cheap shot with the butt end of the stick right near the end of the game?
if so, calgary is done...
i mean, they're done anwyays, but if they lose iginla, they're really done
the first round has been pretty awesome so far, i think the second round is going to be better...

That was crazy at the end. Calgary just cemented themselves a first round exit. Looking at the replay, it definitely looks like Iginla used the butt-end of his stick, which is a big no-no. I fully expect him to be suspended for the next game. As for McClendon(sp), I'd expect that to suspension to be just harsh as Chris Simon. Just crazy.
Detroit dominated that game, absolutely dominated. In the end, Calgary lost their cool and just had a melt down. But with no Iginla, they don't have a chance for Game 6.

The announcers were saying that it will be a suspension for that blatant cheap shot. I really enjoyed the entire game. Great job by the Wings. (damn Pens got knocked out)

It's still hockey. It's just like watching the NFL Playoffs even though the Browns aren't in it. It's still fun to see the hits, the shots and everything.

It's play off hockey. It's intense and fun to watch even if you've been eliminated or were out of the race by Thanksgiving (Thank you Jackets).

Still should be some good hockey, but it really isn't the same when your team is out. I'll still watch if I'm home, but I'm not going to make sure I watch it like I did when Tampa was playing

http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=At...p&type=lgnsCrosby played with broken foot from mid-March on April 21, 2007 PITTSBURGH (AP) -- NHL scoring champion Sidney Crosby played the final 2 1/2 weeks of the regular season and the playoffs with a broken left foot, an injury the Pittsburgh Penguins star didn't disclose until Saturday. Crosby revealed the injury when he explained why he won't play in the world championships in Moscow. Crosby was expected to join Team Canada for the second year in a row after Pittsburgh was eliminated by Ottawa in the first round of the NHL playoffs. ADVERTISEMENT Crosby believes he broke a bone in the foot while blocking a shot March 16 against Montreal, but he didn't miss any games. He had five goals and nine assists in his final 11 regular season games and three goals and two assists in five playoff games. "The first two weeks were pretty sore," Crosby said as the Penguins players assembled Saturday before breaking for the summer. "After a couple of weeks, it starts to heal and it got a little better after that. It just needs time. ... After a couple of weeks, it didn't have any effect." The game after he was hurt, Crosby had a goal and an assist against Ottawa on March 18 but then went scoreless in his next three games. Less than two weeks after getting hurt, he had two goals and an assist March 25 against Boston and a goal and an assist March 27 against Washington. Crosby was in discomfort at times during the playoffs, but made certain he would not worsen the injury by playing. Despite getting hurt, the 19-year-old Crosby became the youngest player to win the NHL scoring title with 120 points. Crosby is disappointed he won't play in the world championships, where he was the leading scorer last year with eight goals and eight assists in nine games. "It would have been a huge thrill to play for Team Canada," he said. Next season, Crosby will be entering the final year of the three-year entry-level contract he signed after being drafted in 2005. He is hopeful of working out a new deal so he won't become a restricted free agent following the 2007-08 season. Updated on Saturday, Apr 21, 2007 4:10 pm EDT I didnt know that...all i can say is WOW, that kid is ballsy. Thats amazing, and if youve watched him play, he has played unbelieveable hockey, just look at the goals he scored v. Ottawa this series. Thats crazy

I passed out just before the puck dropped in the 2nd OT. I was rooting for the Flames just so I could see a Game 7. Oh well...... We do get a Game 7 tonight! Click Me
Vancouver vs. Dallas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VENUE: General Motors Place
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Marty Turco and the Dallas Stars are one win from making - and perhaps more importantly, erasing - some franchise history.
A win in Game 7 on Monday night in Vancouver would make it the first time in 13 attempts a Stars team came back from a 3-1 playoff deficit. They've given themselves the chance by eliminating the problems of past playoff failures.
First Turco and the Stars ended a six-game overtime drought by winning Game 5 in Vancouver 1-0 on Brenden Morrow's power-play goal. Then they ended a six-game slide on home ice by beating the Canucks 2-0 in a one-sided Game 6.
With a win Monday, fans in Dallas might finally be willing to forget the last two first-round collapses.
"If we keep playing like we have been the last couple games, we'll be all right, said Turco, whose three shutouts this series quieted talk of the early playoff exits that preceded it.
Turco, who came into the series under heavy scrutiny for an 8-14 playoff record and career save percentage that dropped from .914 in the regular season to .892 in the postseason, has answered his critics with help from a stingy defense.
He started the series without a single shutout in 22 career playoff games, but has already tied the NHL record for most shutouts in a single series. He can break the 13-way tie by blanking the Canucks again in his first Game 7.
"You can try to create Groundhog Days for yourself as much as you want to, but every day is a new day," said Turco, who comes in with a career-long shutout streak of 130:33.
Since the end of regulation in Game 1, when it was tied 4-4, Turco has a .077 goals-against average and a .972 save percentage. The numbers are even better in Vancouver, where the Canucks haven't put a puck past Turco since the fourth overtime of Game 1.
"This is the first game where their backs have been against the wall so you've got to expect they're going to come out and play hard and play with that desperation," Stars coach Dave Tippett said. "We have to have that same commitment."
While the Stars try to make history, the Canucks hope to avoid repeating it. They haven't scored since winning Game 4 to lead the series 3-1, and have lost their last two Game 7s on home ice, including one against Minnesota in 2003 that completed another collapse from a 3-1 series lead.
The style, coaching staff and two-thirds of the roster have changed since then, but there are some players left from the last two Game 7 losses. Those incumbents were taking heat from the new coach Alain Vigneault, who ripped their effort after Game 6 and again after practice Sunday.
"The only thing I want is them to work," Vigneault said. "When we don't work like last night I'm not going to test your intelligence, I'm not going to test our fans' intelligence. I'm going to come out and say what it is, and we got outchanced something like 15-2. Our guys just didn't work and compete, and that's not acceptable."
Just as Stars scoring veteran Mike Modano was under fire for a goal drought before scoring the winner early on a 5-on-3 power play in Game 6, the Canucks big guns are now in the Vancouver spotlight for failing to produce.
Top line forwards Daniel and Henrik Sedin didn't have a shot in Game 6 and haven't recorded a point since combining on the winner in the fourth overtime of Game 1. Markus Naslund has also been held without a point since Game 1.
"Momentum might mean a little, but I don't think it means a lot in Game 7," Naslund said.
Some of the credit goes to Turco, who has made some big saves at key points, but if you ask the Canucks, they just haven't forced him to make nearly enough tough stops. They've only managed 21 shots in each of the last two games and their power play has been shutdown 23 straight times since Game 1 and is now 1-for-28 in the series.
The Stars are just 4-for-35, but have scored the winning goals in each of the last two games with the man advantage.
"Our power play has to get a goal, that's the bottom line," Naslund said. "When we have our backs against the wall, we usually respond well so we're going to have a good one."
Actually, the Canucks have lost six straight potential series-clinching games dating to 2003. If there is a bright spot for Vancouver, it's Roberto Luongo, who has arguably been better than Turco because he's had to make tougher stops more often.
Luongo's .950 save percentage is only slightly behind his counterpart's .955 mark.
"It's a one-game series and that's what it's all about: Game 7 in the playoffs," Luongo said.
Notes: Dallas D Sergei Zubov will be a game-time decision after leaving Game 6 with a "torso injury," but Tippett expects him to play. ... Morrow also plans to play despite limping off the ice late in Game 6 after being slashed on the back of the leg by Alexandre Burrows. ... Canucks D Kevin Bieksa missed parts of Game 6 and practice Sunday with the flu, but is also expected to play Monday.
GOOOOOOO Canucks!!!!!!!

For me, it usually comes down to the other teams in that city. I'm not a Cowboys fan so I can't root for the Stars either. The Canucks are safe.

Gotta go for the Stars. I can't handle another series with Pacific time zone starts on work nights. If the Stars win, that's who the Wings will face. If the Stars lose, it's Wings vs. Sharks.

The Wings laid an egg in the first....and that's all SJ needed. If Detroit can play like they did the 2nd and 3rd, they'll be OK.
There can't be any more down time like that against the Sharks or it will be a short series.

Well, we only have 4 teams still fighting for the Cup Finals.....but really only have two people left in our Blind Draw Tourney. Anaheim, Buffalo, and Detroit have owners but PersonX isn't real.
Unfortunately, we never found an 8th person to join this tourney. Somehow I think it's going to be Buffalo coming out of the East anyway.
Enjoy.
