'Canes get the Devils... Good times!

As much as I'm disapointed that we could not follow thru on our wager... Go 'Canes...

Being from Philly... The devils are not one of my favorites. Good Luck... maybe in a later round.

Good luck to the Canes and Hawks. Go Bruins!

Thanks Jim, it was a good time. Not a ton of hitting, no one wants to get hurt in a "meaningless" game one game before the playoffs, but a win is a win.

Might be the last time I see Chris Chelios play...I hope not. The fans booed him everytime he touched the puck, which is complete BS since he carried this franchise on his back for almost 10 seasons.

I didn't even watch the Sunday game...kinda pointless for both teams (but I know you loved seeing them beat Detroit!)

Did Chelios play forward again on Sunday?

It was pointless, but provided the Hawks with some much needed confidence heading into the Second Season.

Chelios played D....started, and played the last shift. I fear it might be the last NHL game I see him play.

PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!

Looks like the schedule for the first round is up, fellas.

Hoping the Sharks/Ducks series will be a good one. Maybe the Ducks won't play as dirty as they normally do?

Can't wait for the Boston series as well. These two series are the ones that I know will not need any time to get heated up. Don't know enough about the rest of the east to comment any more though. Philly and Pit have a good rivalry?

Can I ask you guys a question. How come not many people are fans of the Devils? Or are there any closet fans? I know I cant wait till the play. Seems like a good match up if the canes dont hand us goals in front of an open net lol

My 8 year old son is a huge fan. Next to the Blues, the Devils are his favorite team.
Quick story:
My son only has one reason for loving the Devils. He talks about the 2000 Stanley Cup Champions as if he was in the arena that night. The fact is, he was in my arms that night, in a hospital room while his Ma slept off 22 hours of labor. It was an awesome evening. I had no dog in the fight, but have loved hockey since I'm 4 years old. I spoke to him as if he undersood, explaining the rules and who was doing what during the game. He was just staring at the hospital TV smiling throughout the game.
So, I have, what appears to be a lifelong Devils fan for one reason and one reason only....he was born June 10th, the year the Devils beat the Stars, 2-1 in the 2nd OT of game 6.
He talks as if he was consciously aware, of what happend to be his first televison experience.
If you ever feel like a lonley Devils fan, know that you have an 8-year-old, Squirt hockey player living in Missouri named Nico.

Cuz listening to Chico Resch perform oral favors to "Marty" for an entire game makes real men wanna puke. I swear to God I hate the Devils only because of the Devils announcers.

You all got it bad over there. I remember last season I heard Sherry Ross for the first time. I was not impressed. I cant remember what she said, but it was a WTF? moment. The booth went silent. It appeared even the play by play guy was at a loss for words. She appears to be geting better of the brodcasts I heard this year, but it still seems strained at time.

Well the Wings get to play Colombus in the first round. Hopefully the end of the season was not an indicator of how are series is going to be. Could be a tough series if they don't play better than they have. Will see Thursday.

Congrats to your "Hawks Tom. Wish them success in the playoffs unless it's against the Wings of course!

Okay... I see how its gonna be.

When I thought the Hurricanes were facing the Flyers, I had a little wager, but that fell through.

Care to pick up the slack, smokey? How about a fiver on the Devils/'Canes Series? No need to go crazy... just five good sticks.

Let me know... sometime before the Devils go up three to none on the Hurricanes!

I watched it live....though I am a Hawks guy, I like Marty and was happy to see him beat POS Roy's record.
