Z was a BEAST in OT.

Great play by Mule to break up Chicago's three on 2 as well.

Can you believe we are going to finish 5th after the season we have had??

edit: Can't forget Howard! What a player.

Love this team.

Go Wings.

Bed time for me, class in 4 hours  

and a hilarious defensive liability.

Norris Caliber liability apparently

They shouldn't let him within 10 feet of that trophy let alone a nomination.

Past Cups mean nothing now.  Wait, maybe they do for you.  In that case the Canadians will win the Cup this year since they have 24 championships.     The Ducks are only 3 years removed from their Cup run, maybe they're a threat this year.  Let me check the standings.

Of course the past has no direct impact on the present but its certainly a good guide for whats to come. Fluery has proven to be a playoff performer his last two years so theres no reason he can't turn it on again. Like i said Ozzie had similar if not worse numbers last year but managed to take us to the final once again.

And you're right-- I can't compare the Caps to the Pens.  The Caps have 120pts and the Pens have 99pts.  The Caps

So? How many times have San Jose dominated the regular season and failed in the playoffs?

Fleury is as far removed from his Finals play as Ozzy is

Ozzy has been terrible for 2 regular seasons now. Difference is that this year we don't need to turn to him in the playoffs. I don't think he could handle it this year anyway due to his minimal playing time

Yes because the Canadiens are the defending champions...

Fleury is a big game goalie, his stats aren't good but he gets the job done.

I'm not saying the Penguin's are going to repeat and sweep, but I really think you are underestimating them.

If Malkin actually decides to not take penalties and actually play they will be very strong.

This

And the Wings are the defending Western Conference champs... not many people have us as favourites to come out of the West.  Although if you base it only on post olympics play the Wings should be scaring the crap out of people.

They are. Why? Recent history suggests we can step it up in the playoffs. Just like the pens. Just like Fleury.

They are and always have been a joke.

Untill the Caps prove otherwise (and they may) I agree.

Also I cant stand boudreau, he whines and complains to a ridiculous extent.

He got his but I think he deserves a lot more.  And that's saying something as to how crappy of an individual he is.

Its not even physical punishment that he needs. He shouldn't be allowed to skate on NHL ice, hes dirty, cheap and has no respect for other players. Scum.

Really hoping Stamkos wins. This just makes Melrose look even worse.

I think we can all add Evander Kane to our lists

That was amazing. Get this kid in a wings jersey kenny

"sit on it!"
