The Drought Has Ended!!!

No, it was a dig on the team because I never liked them. You obviously assume to much.

I'm not assuming, I just don't see how you wouldn't like them. They were an awesome team to watch.

Damn the Oilers lost to the Canucks so they're out of the playoffs now. So I guess we'll only have 5 Canadian teams in the playoffs, which still isn't bad. The only thing now is 2 of them (Toronto & Ottawa) are facing each other in the first round. Our odds of having a Canadian team in the finals gets less and less. If anyone can do it, I'd place my money on Toronto. Vancouver may surprise a few people though.

Freak

Vancouver will face Calgary as well, right?

I think any of the three Canadian teams out East has a good shot at making the finals, and the West is a toss-up because there aren't any proven playoff goaltenders.

Vancouver is going down :lol:

I am so happy it is Vancouver. The only better series would have been Edmonton and Calgary.

The only thing that sucks is in the first round there are two all Canadian series so two teams will be gone And I don't see Montreal beating boston. :?

Bouchie

As long as someone takes out the Devils I'll be happy. Ideally, Philly will in the first round. And I wouldn't mind seeing Nashville upset Detroit just like the Ducks did last year in the opening round.
