Don't feel bad guys. I just do not see any chance for the team coming out from the East to give a good fight against either Ducks or hawks (although they are the teams i hate the most)

So smelling the battle Ovi vs Stamkos? Here is the hope Ovi wins the cup this year although it is very unlikely since ducks and hawks look more stacked

Don't know whether some people still remember the interview babs made after lose to Nashville few years ago. He indirectly talked to the organization, especially Holland, that the team needs more offences with grits and sizes. Does not have to 1st liners but who can perform in big times like playoffs. Between the time and today, there has been no prominent help from Holland to Babs to structure the team in the way he wanted. Instead, what he got was a group of players whose prime was already over. I do not think it is a matter of money for babs decision. He seems to be tired of the lack of winning legacy in detroit. Personally, babs will not make decision very soon even after the end of the final. Think he will see how Holland moves pieces that can make this team as a legitimate contender. If not, Babs will walk away. I hope this time can be a final waking-up call for Holland, who has been failing every season in the field of getting right players.

Time to capitalize

only possible if Z and Nyquist can score. Our 2nd line has been a complete joke unfortunately

Nyquist has bee just nothing less than the most disappointing player in this team from boston series to today. And Z has to find his way to score; if not, we will be doomed in Tampa

There is a game. What a terrible turnover

Now it is time for either Nyquist of Z to score please?

After losing to the pens, we had a chance to decide between Franzen and Hossa. I remember people favorite Franzen over Hossa based on playoff performance. Upon that moment, Franzen was known as the playoff beast, especially during the run to the Stanley Cup in 2008. That is why people did not care of his regular season performance even with 4 mil cap hit. For last 3 years, however, Franzen has underperformed both in regular season and playoffs. That is why people criticize his contract. We do not expect him to perform like Pavel or Henrik. But he should score some BIG goals at the RIGHT time. He is very inconsistent without a doubt and he is aging. Without dealing Franzen and old guys, I do not see this team being closer to cup contenders.

sorry but is there a stream?

Winning the best of seven series against either of Pens or Bruins seems more challenging than the last year when faced the Ducks. Considering how they played in recent playoffs, playing against the Pens would slightly raise our chance to pass the first round than confronting the Bruins. We have seen that the record in the regular season does not tell the whole story. Yeah, we have played against the Bruins well but we all know how strong they can be during the playoffs. I just do not see our rookies and depth at the both ends take their physical plays armed with size and speed. I do not want to act pessimistic but our chance is not big for sure. Still, I want the Wings to prove me wrong. But we should not forget Howard was magnificent last year while both Gus and Howie look shaky this season. To be honest, I am quite satisfied that our kids have put this team into the playoff despite of continuous injuries. The playoff will be another task but lets hope they can give a great shot.

nice win. Too bad I could not watch the game. W.e, nice to start the season with the win, especially against the those Ducks! And happy to see Dats punched perry, this kid should know this is a hockey, not a wrestling on ice

Sammy scored 2-0 Canucks

Canucks PP. The Kings are not looking good so far Bernier scored, the Kings look disorganized

Overtime
