ROFL...I thought Stopper had returned there for a second. I was wondering why a Scot would care about the NHL!!

[oVo]

Waaa!

and the HURRICANES
knock out #! seeded Bruins in OT
move on to Pittsburgh.

[notyou2]

I find the previous post offensive...........

[Serbia]

Where is Serbia?

He was at the game.

I was at the game!!! Loudest one I've ever been to. My hand still hurt this morning from high-fiving 200 people. My voice is gone, my throat is wrecked from yelling. And all that, for a second round win. But let's face it... none of the remaining teams should be able to give Detroit as big a problem as the Ducks did. That game there could arguably have been for the Cup.

Bring on the 'Hawks. Great for the league to see them relevant again. I'm honestly surprised they made it to the Western Finals, and while they'll have there day, I just don't see them as first timers knocking off the veteran, reigning champions.

I agree with everything Serbia said.

Maybe that pansy Roy will send out his kid to fight someone else who isn't expecting it. After all, you can't be in the Roy family unless you are a total douchebag and like to fight dirty. I could go on, but then it would take 3 days to read this post so I will stop here.

Go Wings!

Fight dirty? It doesn't matter, it's a well known fact that having a Vernon nearby is enough to smackdown a Roy. Hard.

[luns101]

He he he!

[Neoteny]

Gorgeous.

[Timminz]

I remember when the Habs were a good team. I wish I could say the same for my Leafs.

[Neoteny]

It's been a while...

Third period of Game 1 in Detroit vs Chicago
WOW!
what a treat this matchup is

Wings up 3-2 at the 12 minute mark.

[Serbia]

Make it 4-2. Cleary is on a roll, second goal tonight.

[oVo]

Yup... 4-2 at the 9:30 mark and skating 4 on 4
for another minute and a half.

[Serbia]

Cleary NEARLY had a hat-trick off that feed from Zetterberg.

[neanderpaul14]

The Charlestown Chiefs.......the Hanson Brothers rule

[Timminz]

Empty net. 5-2.

Boo!

[oVo]

What a great game... already looking forward to Game 2.

[Neoteny]

I enjoyed it.

[Serbia]

Was a good game. Detroit did out class them though. I still think this will be a short series, despite what everyone else says.

Even though the Roy/Vernon fights were good memories, I'll always remember Claude "The Turtle" Lemieux. He was public enemy # 1 in Detroit after he cheap hit Chris Draper face first into the glass during the play-offs in 1996. Draper suffered a broken jaw, shattered cheek and orbital bone and had to have reconstructive surgery. Lemieux got beat down the next season by Detroit forward Darren McCarty and earned the infamous title of "The Turtle" because of the way he tucked his head in and covered it with his hands. Revenge for Draper was almost achieved by McCarty that night but it wasn't finished yet. At the start of a game in November 1998 Lemieux and McCarty stood next to each other for the opening face-off. The puck dropped and so did the gloves! Less than 3 seconds into the game. Roy was bad but Lemieux was the worst.

By the way did anyone know that Roy's last game with Montreal was an 11-1 defeat by none other than the Wings. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about this ...

"On December 2, 1995, Roy was in net against the Detroit Red Wings during Montreal's worst home game in franchise history, an 11-1 loss.[9] Roy allowed nine goals on 26 shots, and the crowd jeered him whenever he made an easy save. In response, Roy raised his arms in mock celebration. When coach Mario Tremblay finally pulled Roy in the middle of the second period, Roy stormed past him and told team president Ronald Corey "It's my last game in Montreal."[10] Roy later told the media that despite allowing five goals on 17 shots in the first, Tremblay kept him in net in order to humiliate him. He also said that he would not have demanded a trade if Tremblay had kept him on the bench in the second period. Roy and Tremblay reportedly had a lengthy, strained relationship; during his sports radio career, Tremblay often criticized Roy, and when they played together, they would argue during practice.[10] This began what would become a long history of problems between Roy and the Detroit Red Wings, which would reach their peak during his time with the Avalanche.

Three days after the incident, the Canadiens traded Roy and captain Mike Keane to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Jocelyn Thibault, Martin Rucinsky, and Andrei Kovalenko, which is sometimes called "Le Trade" ("The Trade")."

Gotta love it.

Chicago will be lucky to win 1 game. They play exactly like the Red Wings, except they have less skilled players and are less experienced. That, and the Wings always shred Khabibulin like swiss cheese.

I don't like it, but I agree.
