They've met twice in the Cup finals. First one was a sweep and not very good, but the second was pretty damn exciting.

BTW, you should be praying we don't end up with Sens-Blackhawks. Every game might be 1-0.

I have no idea who will win. But I'm glad the Red Wings came on strong last week to pull off their 22nd straight appearance.


Best run franchise in sports.

Piss on the Red Wings! My team is out, so I don't really care, but I'll go Penguins/Canucks.

Tonights Minnesota - Chicago game could be reminiscent of the old North Stars/Black Hawks rivalry. The 1991 Black Hawks were rated #1 and were upset by the 16 seed North Stars, who ended up finally losing to the Pen in the finals. Not sure if the Wild have it in them to win a game, but Sunday's game 3 at the X should bring out the Secord Sucks cheers.

Great game and stellar performance by Wild backup Josh Harding. Harding has not played much this year due to his MS, but when Backstrom was hurt during warmups, Harding stepped in and did a great job against Chicago. Still glad that Chicago won though :)

Gotta say, most of the games have been excellent. The lone exceptions were last night's Hawks game, the Bruins-Leafs game, and Caps-Rangers, game 1. The Ducks-Red Wings game and the Blues-Kings games were incredible on Thursday night.

I think Pitt should consider switching to Vokoun between the pipes. Fleury has just let in too many bad goals. (of course, it would also help if they played better defense and stopped turning the puck over in their own zone)

Same as last year in the first round series against the Flyers. Something is wrong in Pittsburgh. :?
