What a heart breaker for Columbus! One last OT game in a marathon of OT games for them in the playoffs! :eek: Sorry Rusty! :(

Or you could just take my picks and given my historical record, go the opposite way! :D

Well...... Two games in the book and, as usual, my prognostication skills are not so hot in the early rounds. :rolleyes: Montreal looked TERRIBLE against Philly. A bunch of one and done offensive possessions and sloppy puck handling.:eek: Only saw the last 10 minutes of the Calgary game and...

Okay! My Fearless predictions for todays scheduled games: 1. Montreal draws even with the Broad Street Bullies 2. Calgary goes up one on the Minnesota North Stars (a small helping of Midwestern Sarcasm there):D 3. Washington avoids elimination against the Isles 4. My Blackhawks bow out tonite...

Yeah, not sure exactly what is behind all of that. :confused: TV announcers have said that the entire organization is behind Tuuka Rask’s decision. Supposedly family issues?? I’ve heard Boston fans have been hard on him which I don’t understand. From what little I know he has been solid and...

Tough hill to climb fo CBJ after a tough loss today. :mad: I thought Columbus played very well this afternoon but not quite good enough. :( Oh well, game 5 to prepare for and hopefully no quit in the the locker room and some coaching magic from Torts. :D

Those last two saves by Korpisalo kept Columbus in the game IMO. Goals late in the period can be momentum and team attitude killers. Torts has the boys fired up and in another close game. (Nothing new here!) :D

She might make us up our game if she is anything like Joe. :eek::D She would certainly would be more than welcome here!

RATS! :mad: CBJ came out hot with excellent offensive zone time and SCORED!! OOPS, offsides on the entry! :eek: Let’s go CBJ!!

PHEW! Hawks live to play another day. Crawford was PHENOMENAL!! :)

Okay! Hawks still ahead after 2 periods! However, I think they are being outshot by a 3 to 1 ratio :eek: Crawford is looking pretty sharp. As for the remaining games tonight I’m taking Montreal over Philly. I really haven’t seen either of them play this year so that’s a SWAG from me. (Nothing...

Or he would be letting us know what the menu was for the night, usually with pictures! :D

YIKES! Black Hawks have no wiggle room left being down 3-0. :mad: Let’s see, Rangers OUT already :eek: and Chicago hanging on by their fingertips. I’m gonna have to find some other teams to pull for me thinks! :D GO HAWKS!

Was pulling for the Flames as well. Losing to the Minnesota North Stars..... oops, I mean the Dallas Stars puts that series in a 2 apiece knot. Hmmmmmm OTOH, that means more HOCKEY!! :D

Wait! I thought that ladder13 guaranteed this as the prize for the winner who picked the ultimate winner who picked the winner of the Cup! :D Hockey looks so much better on a 12” black and white screen! :)

Nuts! Hawks down 3 -0 in round 1. Oh well, no problem, they only have to win 4 in a row to advance. :eek: What could possibly go wrong? :mad:

That’s alright, my secondary team, the Blackhawks are down 2 games to none and are currently losing 2 zip to Vegas. May have to come up with and East and West pick to mitigate the odds! :D

Yo Rusty, has Ruthie weighed in on this yet? As I recall her intuition was ever so SLIGHTLY better than yours when making her picks. :D

Once we get bigride out of sick bay, we may have a quorum! :) Until then, in his stead, I'll pick the Current Cup Holders, the ST. LOUIS BLUES!! Again with apologies to Paul, “Just pretend that this is witty” :D Bill

Thank you ladder13! I can’T watch the playoffs without thinking of Joe and remembering his annual NHL thread. As I said to Rusty, Joe had a gift of being able to insert the needle just far enough to get a rise out of you but never so far that there were hard feelings. Just to get it...
