[Frisk]

Nashville really surprising me.

Nashville really surprising me.

Maybe Nashville has had enough of coming up second fiddle to likes of Chicago.

[GordonH]

Columbus & Minnesota are now on verge of elimination, Nashville & Anaheim could do the same tomorrow night to Chicago & Calgary.

[alfred2]

oilers are for real, keep it up GO OILERS GO.

[GordonH]

I'm I seeing Washington continue there long tradition of choking, or will all that talent come to life.

[Frisk]

Would love to see oilers vs leafs in the finals.

First; apologies for the supid question at the start of the thread. Uh derr.

Second; have been a loyal player/watcher/follower all my life. So again, uh derr.

Third; I have been a Flames fan since 79/80 but I have to be honest when I say that I have more interest in how Toronto and Edmonton do than the Flames.

Both those teams are for real.

[Glacier]

Every Canadian team lost their first game :/

Meh, it's just one game.

[GordonH]

Well, sooner or later the real Washington Capitals had to show up.

After first period Toronto needs 3 to tie it

[Frisk]

4-3 now.

[Frisk]

Calgary is the first team eliminated. Bummer

[techrtr]

Why aren't two Canadian teams playing each other in the first round? Is it because Buttman doesn't want any Canadian teams to advance to the next round?

Playoff format just happened to line up that way.

[Frisk]

Nashville looking like they might sweep Chicago. Crazy

Nashville moves on to face either Minnesota or St. Louis, Chicago heads to golf courses.
