Yeah, but they are beating the holy hell out of each other. If this series lasts 7 games, the team they face next will have a huge advantage.
How about them Canucks!

If both series go 7 games, then they should hope that the east does the same.
It was a chicago/vancouver game that got me hooked on hockey years ago..They went into o.t. in an exhilerating back and forth game..I Liked players on both teams..(90's)...So I decided the winner would be my new favorite team(easy enough)...Chicago won..Can't remember the score..If I recall correctly ..Score was 4-3
It's years later, And once agian , I find myself in a proud dilema ...Both my favorite teams are playing each other...A lot of the players have changed but team spirit is alive and well...I will give my best to both teams..Hpwever there is only 1 Canadian team left...May the best team win..(garaunteed)...Go team ..go.....

What was wrong with the ducks is, how they played for most part of the season,
which was 'odd' for them, as they are just as good a team as they were when they
won the cup, then they woke up, it seems just at the right time, now they are
'that' team again, and can beat anyone.
That young goalkeeper is playing playoff hockey too, so that is really all they
needed to top it off, but I'm still hoping detroit will come back and win the
series.
Detroit won't be harder to play than the ducks, or visa versa, for whomever wins
our series.

Detroit has won enough cups already, maybe the Ducks were just smart saving their energy for the playoffs.
A team looking to 'who' they would want to play in the next series must decide 'if',
they want to play a free flowing, fast, talented, good both ways, with a goalie who
is playing good since playoffs started -
OR
a team who is scratchy, big, and will spear you in the ear if you're not alert, and
who have a great young line, who are scoring goals, and a good young goalie who
seems to be having lots of fun stopping goals.
take your pick, but don't for a minute think anaheim will be easier to beat than
detroit, they are very different teams and must be played accordingly.

Winning teams don't under estimate other teams EVER. Personally I don't really care which team the Canucks play next, I think if they are smart, disciplined and determined, their chances are good regardless of who they play. Don't get yourself an ulcer there talloola:lol::lol::lol: But do enjoy the games.
I think you're the one in the ulcer department JLM.;-) I was just pointing out
the difference in the two teams, thats it.
I'm a pretty calm person when watching canucks, that's just my nature.
No, winning teams never underestimate other teams, or they wouldn't be winning
teams.
Carolina won in Overtime, so now carolina is ahead 2-1
Pittsburg won in Overtime, I'm glad, as I want to see this one go 7.
Washington is ahead 2-1
Definitely, if they win game 4, they will have control of the series, and it is
up to Chicago to find a way to win 3 in a row, a tall order.
I am glad that Pittsburgh won, and I hope it goes to 7 games with Washington winning.
I am irked that Carolina won. Boston needs to wake up!:angryfire:
Nice to see Malkin finally wake up, he had a good game.
May the best team win in this series, which ever one comes out on top, it's
a real exciting series.
Carolina/Washington could go 7, they seem to make even exchanges, and both goalies
are at their best.
This ones exciting too.
So do I, the skating is superb, so fast, and the pace, up and down that ice as hard as they can go, and the effort is the best I've seen. Without the clutching
hooking, grabbing that used to be, the only way to get things done, is to skate
and skate fast, and pass, and pass well, the game is reaching a point that is very
very entertaining, and I'm sure the players love it.
I was shown a cute story today.
There was a hockey sign being held up at a game, and it said --
"Hey Ref, are you pregnant, cause you missed two periods." ;-)

For the Canucks…
For the Calgary, Alberta native, his goal on Tuesday also marked the first professional playoff goal of his career. While he is making his NHL playoff debut this year, he has had previous professional playoff experience at the American Hockey League level back in 2006.07 when he suited up 13 playoff games with the Manitoba Moose netting one assists and no penalty minutes.For the Blackhawks…
With much of the Blackhawks’ playoff hopes riding on those same shoulders of Toews, the Winnipeg, Manitoba native can take another big step towards ensuring everybody of his health and simultaneously getting the ‘Hawks back into the series by snapping out of his goal drought. The Blackhawks’ leading goal scorer in the regular season with 34, Toews has not found the back of the net since his two-goal outing back in Game 2 against the Flames. His current seven-game goal-less slump marks his longest goal drought since he opened the regular season without a goal in his first 12 games played. So far in the 2009 playoffs after nine games played, Toews has notched seven points (2-5-7) and 24 penalty minutes.
This game will or won't set the tone for the rest of this series. Of course if
Canucks win, they will be in control, but we are a long way from that point,
as this is almost do or die for chicago, and don't think they won't find a way
to win, as, if they don't they are in deep trouble. They didn't play particularly
well last game, but canucks play had a lot to do with that, perhaps tonight
they will choose to play or more 'two way' game'. like vancouver, and wait for
their chances, as fast as they are, and as talented as they are, they have no
veterans on the team, and do play a high risk game at times, they need older
players on the team to settle them down once in awhile, and they do not have
that, not sure if Campbell is even 30 yet, don't think so, and havlat isn't 30 yet,
the goalie is nearing 40.
The first goal is crucial.
Sami Salo will not play, he did fly to chicago, but didn't even practice, so it
is obvious that the 'lower body injury' he suffered, is no where near healed.
I'm glad to see that the 2nd line with raymond/kesler/sundin will be together,
I see lots of light at the end of the tunnel for that line, and with the sedin
line up in front of them, it gives chicago two dangerous lines to worry about,
and our third line could get going again tonight, they didn't do much in the
last two games, but didn't hurt us either.
GO CANUCKS GO
Very good game for canucks, they have controlled this game right from early on, too bad they couldn't hang on till the end, but it
just takes one little f***k up, and in it goes. If Mitchell had of shot the puck the
other way instead of right back into the crowd, they could have got it out, but
that's the way it goes. Anyway they shut chicago down, didn't allow them to play
their wide open end to end game, so now we're in overtime, so lets see how it
goes, hope it's not too long.
See ya later, enjoy.
