Who are you rooting for?

I'm rooting for:

NYR vs. Washington : RANGERS

Philly vs. Pittsburgh : PHILLY

Carolina vs. New Jersey : DEVILS

Vancouver vs. St.Louis : BLUES

There's really no motive why I am rooting for these teams, just like them better than the team they are playing against.

[#18 the _Hoss_ 2]

NYR vs. Washington : WASHINGTON - let the kids have fun

Philly vs. Pittsburgh : PHILLY ! - pens cannot have any kind of success

Carolina vs. New Jersey : DEVILS - Marty is a wall

Vancouver vs. St.Louis : VAN - wanna see Demitra vs Hossa inspiration and a great SWEDE series !

I agree

that little segment on versus, when it got to the wing spart and then where they were like "all contenders know that the road to the stanley cup finals runs through hockeytown" and they did the little spinning image that landed on the hockeytown logo at th joe...that gave me goosebumps.

I was like oh man, this is it, it al begins tomorrow.

NYR vs. Washington : Like 'em both, but have to root for the Rangers because they're the underdogs and everyone is sucking Ovie's you know what.

Philly vs. Pittsburgh : Philly, OF COURSE.

Carolina vs. New Jersey : ugh, can both teams be eliminated?

Vancouver vs. St.Louis : like both, don't care who wins. I give a slight edge to Vancouver because I want Sundin to win the cup.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Lundqvist making HUGE stops for the Rags right now.

[Jasper84 333]

NYR vs. Washington : WASHINGTON Would love to see a Wings-Caps finals

Philly vs. Pittsburgh : PHILLY Vs Pens.. enough said...

Carolina vs. New Jersey : Carolina Wouldn't want to face Jersey & Marty in the finals

Vancouver vs. St.Louis : BLUES Wouldn't want to have to face Luongo

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Crosby scores, 1-0 Pittsburgh.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Nice give and go. Fail Philly

[ComradeWasabi 109]

First goal of the playoffs. Right on.

[EuroTwin 240]

Crosby scores. We would have been called for Goalie Interference, but it looks like it's under review now?

[Konnan511 1,736]

Actually looks like he kicked it in, whiffed with the stick....

He kicked it and it goes off. Should be no goal two ways.

[Guest Shoreline]

Wow, what the f***?

[EuroTwin 240]

He kicked it and it goes off. Should be no goal two ways.

And yet it is...

Anyways, get it back Philly!

[ComradeWasabi 109]

He kicked it and it goes off. Should be no goal two ways.

Net going off doesn't kill a goal. The refs can decide that it would have gone in anyways. I didn't think he kicked it in either, looked like he was going for his stick so whatever.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Two great games going right now, greattttt stuff.

[Konnan511 1,736]

He kicked it and it went in then the net goes off. Should be no goal one ways.

Fixed. Net up does not equal net off.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

I loathe both teams, but my goodness EW for Crosby scoring.

[MacK_Attack 108]

Looked OK to me. He didn't kick at it and Biron knocked it in, anyways. Good goal.

[Guest Shoreline]

Flyers got totally screwed on that goal. They're getting the calls against too. Washington and the NY Rangers are a hitfest too and Avery just got a penalty.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Man, Skillzy and Orpik really are horrible. Frickin Penguinss
