That was an awesome game. Dubie has a good shootout strategy, that poke works well.

Rangers are playing Atlanta in the first round........I think they can pull that off.

What a shootout! happened to catch highlights on espn. I did not think islanders would make it to the playoffs.
Excited for Pens/Sens. My Pens played some great games against em in their house last couple times around. No worries about them getting the home advantage. They are pretty evenly matched though and it will be a very good series!

The Pens getting Gary Roberts at the trade deadline made them immediately a team built for the playoffs and a legitimate Cup contender. Pitt looks like a young Ottawa and even the Oilers from their dynasty of the 80's.

Not to mention Minny are masters of the trap.

Wow, three great games tonight. I'm watching the Canucks/Stars game in double OT as I type.

joey_rogo · Apr 12, 2007, 02:08 AM

red · Apr 12, 2007, 02:10 AM

Seriously, I have to work in the morning! The Stars came so close at the end of that OT.

joey_rogo · Apr 12, 2007, 02:14 AM

yeah, crossbar...

joey_rogo · Apr 12, 2007, 03:33 AM

True, you're Pens are disappointing me (and you I'm sure). Not to mention costing me some money. :(

Big game for the Flames tonight. I predict Iggy has a huge game on home ice.

joey_rogo · Apr 17, 2007, 09:49 PM

the thrashers?: 0

i am in such a good mood.

Before the playoffs started I told one of my friends that the Rangers would make at least the third round. He laughed in my face, telling me they'd be out after one.

Tell me about it, I already have a headache as it is.

its still "do or die", "win or go home", for the wild. i've been really upset at our cable company lately. i can't watch the games. but tonight i can finally. now that its on Fox Sports North.

If you can find it on the dish, TSN in Canada carries the game too. It's a far better product than Fox and is in HD and hey, who wouldn't want to see Jeremy Roenick do commentary between periods?

i don't get TSN, i wish, any second of jeremy roenick giving commentary is a good second. the games are on either 45 or FSN, the only people who get 45 are in the Cities and some other smaller towns. the bigger cities outside the metro don't get them, sucks for a lot of people.

That sucks. The Pens will probably get beat out tonight on the CBC. Can you get the CBC? Best hockey coverage bar none. NBC has improved greatly since they started mining CBC, TSN and ESPN broadcasters.
