TO had a total of 7 shots in the first 2 periods then 10 in the third when Montreal started to give up and not get injured.

I'm really glad we can't face the Blackhawks until the Conference Final this year.....if we get there. Whoever gets Chicago in the 2nd round is going to be in tough against a good team who just had a week off and will be brimming with confidence after their strong season and opening round sweep of the useless Wild.

As for our first round, I'm torn.....I'd like payback against the Kings, but they will beat us up. San Jose has had no luck in the playoffs, so they could be due, and we have a real talent for making Niemi look MUCH better than he actually is.

Yep, just have to get it in gear no matter who we play.

Any opinions about Jocyln?
I didn't see the game thursday, so just seeing him tonight on HNIC
Can't be worse than Alberts/Barker can he? :o

We can go all the way but we need our best players to be our best players. And by best players I mean Schneider and Kesler.

Final four would have to be considered a good season but after '11 I don't think anybody here will settle for good.

Gotta admit I'm pretty excited. :crazy:

1-0 LA... how ironic would it be if this went the other way and a Dustin Brown suspension actually screwed our season?

They say that if Schneider does not get at least one practice in before game one he won't start int he playoffs. I guess we gotta watch and see if he practices on Monday.

Habs - Sens should work just fine, while the Laffs get chewed up by the Bruins. :mrgreen:

Jocyln wasn't too noticeable so that was a good thing. Baker was atrocious. Just horrible. The guy is afraid to take a hit and Bales all the time. Corrodo was OK. A few mistakes but nothing glaring. He has game and I think he will be fine. Alberts has been very very good down the stretch. I have been impressed with his game. Ballard is Ballard.

Wild owner Leipold says "We think our team is very much like the Kings."

You are the only one that thinks that way there Craig.

I for one would be thrilled if they could be like the Kings and knock off the President Trophy winning team in the first round.
