BUt the morons at ESPN should know that Pens will kick Devils ass and the   game will be boring. I'd rather see Boston/Buffalo game which seems to be   an exciting series since noone had expected Buffalo to get past the first   round.     Well let's hope they change their mind on THU's game and show some other   game. The Pens series is really getting boring. I want to see some    exciting game no matter who wins. If NHL wants a major network contract   then they better put some brains in ESPN people.

Picture if you will, the Habs going into the last couple minutes of the game, leading 2-0.  The Nords get a power play, pull Hextall, and get a goal.  Bout a minute later, they get another one.  Then they win in overtime......  A bad dream?.......  How's that Red Hot Chili Peppers song go... "Give it away,give it away, give it away now...."  Oh well.

I watched most of the game on ESPN (as soon as I realized that they were televising the game which was at the beginning of the second). The Maple Leafs were flat.  Very flat.  Meanwhile, the Red Wings were skating very freely and dictating the pace of the game.  I didn't detect any bad penalty calls (Van Hellemond did his usual good job). Toronto looked like how I expected them to for their first playoff game in a few years -- nervous.  For the Leafs sake, I hope they can rid themselves of the butterflies for game 2.  If game 1 is indicative of the series, it's gonna go quick.

Actually, that's based on the NHL's history of 7 games.  The statstical odds of winning one straight game -- 50/50.  Two straight games -- 25%.  Three straight games -- 12.5%, 4 straight games = 6.25%.  The odds of the Penguins winning 14 straight games in the playoffs was 0.0061%.  Of course, this doesn't include weighted average, but the Pens beating the Devils 3 straight (a weaker team) along with beating the Rangers 3 straight (a much stronger team) has made the act balanced out.  That's about right.  For Boston the odds of winning are probably closer to 10% (with weighted average) since Buffalo's record isn't as good and Boston has a stronger team.  Enough about my QBA probabilities though! It's just goes to prove ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, if you integrate that to Debbie Gibson :-)  >>   Who do you think gets the start in game three?

Hooray, I hear on TSN that the Jets have won a game, Selanne getting a hat-trick!  Of course, here in GOD'S COUNTRY (read Ontario!) I couldn't see that game, nor any other in the VAN-WPG series so far, because our beloved CBC figures no one out here cares about this series (which has looked pretty competitve so far...  On Monday and Wednesday nights, CBC could have shown the Toronto- Detroit game, done the news, then picked up Winnipeg-Vancouver. They didn't.  Tonight?  You guessed it, Toronto-Detroit, the news (not the end of the Jets game), then Calgary-LA.  SO, if it's "Hockey Night in Canada", why can't this Ontarian see one of the two series with two Canadian teams?  Is this too much to ask?

The Blues will give the Hawks a hard time. This series is one of the best first round matchups, could go either way. The Hawks will probably prevail in seven games.

Disaster! Finland was beaten by Czech 1-3 (0-0,1-1,0-2). Finland will be 4th of pool B and will most certainly meet Canada in the quarter final on wednesday 28th. Lack of scoring skills has been the major problem of team Finland throughout the tournament. Briza (goalie)  was the MVP of  the Czech team and Tikkanen was the  MVP of the Finnish team.

I'm personally expecting Moog.  Blue played fairly decent (alright spectacular at times) in his 1/2 a game but Moog has the experience. What Did Blue have going for him, nothing, What would happen in a Tie game, the prssure is then on the Goal tender to insure that you keep the puck out (at the very least until your team scores)  Blue didn't face that kind of pressure on Tuesday.  The Bruins will come out storming that is for sure.  I really think that this series is up to Buffalo, Boston (except for two bad passes in game one) really hasn't played that bad ,  As a believer is statistics, you know that your going to get the puck by fuhr sooner or later, just keep shooting.  There game plan is sound but they need to take the lead first, and control the tempo.....                 IMHO                       Pat Ellis  P.S.

Well, I agree that if you're going to stand in front of the net, that you should expect to get hit and hacked at. In general, you should expect to finish the game with some bruises. However, there is a fine line between hacking at a guy (causing some pain and discomfort) and blatantly attempting to injure another player. Felix Potvin, IMO, crossed that line on Wednesday. That two hander on Ciccarelli was way out of line. I lost a lot of respect for Potvin because of that. It showed an immaturity. He did not slash at Ciccarelli to simply try to remove him from the slot area (a legal position for Dino to be in). Instead, he slashed in an attempt to injure. It was out of shear frustration. As a Leaf supporter (just a supporter, I'm not a Leaf fan really), I was very disappointed.  You're right in mentioning Billy Smith and Ron Hextall (at least in his Philly days). They both crossed that same line at times and for that reason, many fans (and players) disliked them (that's why their names always comes up as examples when we talk about these issues). Let's hope that Felix doesn't do that again. I'd hate to see anyone (even Dino --- although I admit I don't like him very much) get seriously hurt from such careless (but intentional) use of the stick.
