I wonder how much the Wrigley game meant except for the pomp and circumstance.

I am excited, for the first time in over a decade. I don't think we will win the Cup, but I am excited. Try not to deflate my balloon just yet, James.

Okay Tom

Ducks up 2-0 in the series. Maybe I better be carefull wishing for a date with them in the next round.

I don't think Hiller can stop Pavel and Henrik.

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.

Your spot on there Tom. Can't fall behind 3-1.

Temp ban for Wings and Devils fans?
