Well first I almost have a heart attack during the Pens game, then I turn into an insomniac watching the Sharks/Stars game.

Man, you gotta love games like that. Only bad part about it is eventually one team has to lose, have to feel for the Sharks there, especially Nabakov, dude had a great game and didn't deserve to lose that one. Just the way it goes.

Anyway, Pens verses the dirty Flying Shits. Should be a good one.

Yeah really, Nabokov is a demon between the pipes. He deserves a Stanley Cup.

These are really interesting series ahead of us here. Detorit vs Dallas is one I wouldn't have guessed earlier this year at all. The Flyers and Pens, this will be good for me and a friend cause hes a huge Flyers fan.

Also, Turco or Morrow for Conn Smythe.

The over time for the Sharks and Stars was frankin' entertaining as shit. I'm officially killed in my hockey pool since I loaded up with the Sharks, I'll never learn.

I'm taking Detroit in 6 (A non offensive team against a team that has a good crop of scoring forwards, and an even better crop of scoring defencemen. Fear the 'Wings).

I'll take Philalphia in 7. They are reminding me of the Ducks of last year, good huge forwards that are just beating up the other teams. This one easily can go either way but I'm gonna take Biron over Fleury.

Then Detroit in 5 to win their 10321094448 cup.

Thing is though, the Wings are like that every year and they don't always win. I remember they got swept by the '03 Anaheim Ducks.

And oh god, I hope everyone doesn't start proclaiming Johan Franzen as the next big thing like they always seem to do. I remember they did that to Fernando Pasani, said he was going to accumulate 90 points this year, he had less than 20 I believe.

The Sharks and Wings remind me of the same team, lots of experience, firepower, defence, speed, skill, coaching and fantastic goaltending. The Stars will find a way to beat Detroit. I wonder what their season series was like. Wish I could remember that!

3/4 for the second round. Montreal choked and I should've seen that coming. I just thought the Flyers 4 defensemen would tire sooner and Biron wouldn't have been playing as well as he had.

Oh well, Pens are in it and that's all I care. I go to Philly quite often, and seeing every member of their bandwagon posse was disturbing to say the least. I hate them with a passion.

The Pens are too good to lose this one, and it will make it all the more sweet seeing the bandwagons reside and hate hockey again for at least 4 months. The Flyers are deep up front, but the Penguins are deeper, more skilled, and play better defensively (see Malkin's backcheck in game 5 to break up 2-1 and also see Briere's pathetic D when Flyers lost 2-0 lead late in game 4).

Pens D has played solid and the PK unit is on point - it had better be for the Flyers PP unit. Briere and Timonen on one unit by itself is enough to scare a team, let alone with the addition of Prospal, Richards, and Lupul. The Flyers big forwads also may create problems in the crease for MAF.

Goaltending - regardless of how well Biron is playing (for Biron, let's face it), Fleury has still outplayed him, and will continue to do so in this upcoming series.

Dal - What can you say? Turco is a beast, Ribeiro is always dangerous, and Morrow gets down and dirty. They find ways to win.

Det has looked downright scary as of late. I'm hoping it was the depleted Avs that made them look as such, but Kronwall, Rafalski and (of course) Lidstrom carry the puck so well and always make great first passes. Add to that Frahnzen is lighting it up, Zetterberg is FLYING (and scoring sick goals), and Pavel Datsyuk is...well, he's Pavel Datsyuk, what else needs to be said? Osgood has done little to warrant me to question him so I won't...yet!

Go Pens!

I think these are going to be two fun series where it could go either way. The goalie may be the difference in all the series, and for that Turco is probably the best left standing so I won't be suprised if they knock off the Red Wings. The Stars have had the hardest path so far and they've looked amazing against the Ducks, and then find ways to win against the Sharks. Now they are facing the best in the conference and it should be good times.

Thats true, I never really thought of it that way.
