I realize that but I despise the Canadiens and the city they come from. They did the booing the US National Anthem thing again tonight to put me in the right mood for a blood bath. You are a Wings fan, tell me that you haven't seen that there are two sets of rules, one for Montreal and one for the rest of the league.

Ya I have and I am a Habs hater. Just didn't want you to get to excited about beating a weak team. Just like I am not totally sold on my Wings beating up on an overmatched Blue Jackets team.

Both will face much better teams in the second round and we will see from there. That all said I think we very well could see an Original Six finals. It would be a great matchup!

Been following the Bruins since the late '50's so I am used to being hurt in later rounds. Still would love to see an original six finals.

Has Calgary been taking diving lessons from Montreal?

Nothing worse than a team of "divers". They really need to make more calls on that to stop it.

BarneyBandMan and I were at the Hurricanes/Devils Game last night in Raleigh.

Hated the OT loss by the 'Canes, but we walked out beside Bill Cowher, former Coach of the Steelers. He has a house in the area and was the celebrity guest responsible for our traditional "Hurricane Siren" sounded just before the puck is dropped.

His jaw was even bigger than I expected after seeing it on TV.

That's funny. We must be watching two different games. 7 power plays called for Chicago and only 3 for Calgary...

I do know one thing, several Chicago players faces don't feel too good this morning after mashing the glass hard and often last night.

The hits were 20-10 in favor of Calgary at one point in the second period. Not sure how it ended up.

If the Flames show up and hit like they did in Game 3, Game four will be theirs for the taking.
From the little I've seen of the other series, I think the Hawks/Flames series has been the most entertaining Play-off style hockey.

Go Flames!
