My dislike for Dominic Moore has only intensified during this series. What a weasel.

Ok, did any of my fellow LGPers also severely underestimate Tampa? I figured the winner of Rangers-Capitals would smoke these guys.

I thought the Rags were the better team. Doesn't always translate to to winning a series (Ref: see Pens last several years). Teams peak at the right time and Tampa is doing just that. Plus, Lundqvist has not played great. I love watching this series. I have a new appreciation for Stamkos.

I hate the Rags.

Wow. Are you kidding? Ducks up by 2 with less than 2 minutes to go. Toews scores 2 to tie it at 4. Then Matt "Cha-ching" Belesky nets his 7th of the playoffs to quickly end it. Playoff hockey at its best.

Toews has to be the most clutch player in the game, do you agree?

Toews' clutchness seems off the charts, but on the other hand, that last goal.... Man that was bad. Then again, he's the one who threw it on net.

I'm so sick of these Rangers 2-1 one goal games. I'm not even sure why they are so good. I don't see why or how they won the Presidents trophy. I hope Tampa wins...they have much more talent then NYR.

I think that was their shot. The Rangers do not lose game 7s at home. Tampa blew that one

Really hasn't been that kind of series, though. After the opener (indeed a 2-1 NY win) it has gone:

Tampa 6-2
Tampa 6-5
NY 5-1
Tampa 2-0
NY 7-3

I've enjoyed the unpredictability of the series.

Well, your wish has been granted.

I am thinking Rags vs. Ducks. I am hoping Bolts vs. Ducks.

I think Bishop has been the better of the two goaltenders in the east series... going with him to steal one tomorrow.

Very pleased to have a pair of Game 7s to look forward to this weekend.

The Tampa-NY series has been crazy enough that it wouldn't shock me to see the Bolts beat the Game 7 odds. NY has to lose one of these home elimination games, don't they?

Curious to see if Anaheim puckers up. Chicago's experience may make a difference.

These series have been hard to read. Early in the ECF, I thought there was no stopping Tampa. Now the Rags are coming on. Both teams in the west, have at times, looked like world beaters. Should be a great weekend to be a hockey fan.

Rangers get shutout games 5 and 7 at home....that's pretty bad.

They are an arrogant team who think they are better then the are. That comes from their head coach IMO...
