Awesome Tom! Nothing beats live playoff hockey. To bad my last live playoff game was the Jets last game. We need the NHL back!

First playoff game for me since 1997....Hawks only made the playoffs once since then, and I didn't catch any games. Before that, I didn't miss a single home playoff game between 1988 and 1996, when they used to make the playoffs every year.

Congrats fellas on your wins. Unfortunately, I can't say the same to my Blues. 0-2 in the series so far. Maybe they'll have better luck at home. On a positive note, my Pool team (Penguins) are doing excellent so far 2-0 in the series.

I guess you win some you lose some.

I hope they find their heart for game 2. I have never wanted to see the team torn apart, but if they pull another Epic post season failure I think its time. They almost seem to expect to loose in the post season now.

What I said was the Hawks and Wings couldn't potentially meet until the Conference Finals.

The Hawks will need to worry about the Canucks or Sharks before the Wings.

And the Hawks ain't the Jackets. ;)

Don't get to excited about those last two games Tom. Wings were already locked in. Be a lot different when they count for real.

I wouldn't want to play them, though the Wings should be able to take care of them in 5 or 6. They are a strong team in general, just had a horrible start to the season.



Not if they shoot stick side high. Sharks keep shooting for the five hole, but Hiller plays low, so it just hits him in the chest. I can clearly see this, yet they keep going 5 hole, just don't get it.

Sharks are just depressing in the playoffs. They haven't played well since the all star break, and they can't put the damn puck in the net. They did better tonight than game 1, but they have a ways to go. Playoff hockey comes down to special teams. Sharks were 3rd in the league on the power play, and are a combined 0 for 12 this series. Pronger isn't going to stop cross checking if it doesn't cost his team. Not at all surprised by what is happening, just disappointed.

I was picking them to take the Cup at the beginning of March. I can't believe how they are playing right into Hiller's hand (and chest protector). I think they need to take both games at the Pond to have any chance to advance.

I don't get how they can't see that there 40+ shots are useless if they are right at him. I think he has made around 10 saves that are actually good, the rest have hit him. Test him, and aim high, make him MAKE a save, instead of a stop.
