NHL Playoffs...

They look great against Carolina at home but neither Staal nor Ward played great. Crosby and Malkin have been.

You think they'd have a shot against Detroit?

Detroit - Pittsburgh this year will be more competitive because Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, Stall have matured and are more capable this year so it should be a great series. However, I still like Detroit because they have more experience.

Still hoping for a Chicago miracle.
I'm praying to the ghost of Bobby Hull's hair.

True, they've all matured but think they'll miss guys like Ryan Malone for grit although Guerin was a great addition.
Wings have the experience and depth. Unbelievable how their stars are so responsible defensively.

Hull and Makita should be in that dressing room telling Toews and Sharp that they were their age the last time Hawks won the cup. They never got another chance in their careers.
Hawks need some kind of boost.

What a hit by Kronwall on Havlat. Five minute major and gone for the game.
Looked like a legal hit to me.

OK, I know I couldn't do any better, but I've never seen guys skate uncontested right into the crease more than I saw last night.....It was like the 'Canes laid out the red carpet for 'em

I've been a ref for 15 years and I'd never call that.
Look good to me.

Another case of penalizing the result instead of the action.

I was concerned for Havlat with his eyes rolling around in his head unable to get up too.
No elbows came up, Kronwall didn't take a run at him. Havlat's responsibility to protect himself breaking out of the zone like that.
