OK...last night's Canucks/Blues game was more like it.
2-1 doesn't tell the whole story of how dominant the Canucks seemed. The Blues were damn lucky to not be shut-out. Cloutier was awesome, and the team seemd to remember how they got to the playoffs: physical hockey.
Looks like the Blues have lost their Captain for awhile too...and I can't think that there is a team in the league that wouldn;'t miss Al MacInnis on defense.
Brandon Reid continues to make himself the guy on the ice. He was almst the only player who wasn't total crap in the first game, and he still shone even when the rest of the team got their act together.
If this guy gets sent down, I will have to admit that I will never understand what is necessary to make a team.
Jovanovski got back to his "Freight Train into the boards" style of play (thank God)
And I heard something from the commentators I never dreamed i would hear...
"Daniel Sedin takes Keith Tkachuk into the boards and out of the equation"
...
Read that again.
OK, I'm feeling better about the team (and our chances) now that they seem to have woken up.

Congrats to the Oilers for winnning again against the Stars. That game was good.
Off topic, for all you Matrix lovers out there, go to their website and download their latest trailer for the next movie. This movie is going to be absolutely-fricken-awesome.

I'll go one step further, likely to my future regret, unless the Leafs step it up and start a lot better fast , i.e. tonight, Saturday will be their last game until next season.
On a more recent note, I was worried the Oilers had lost the game when they gave up a goal right after tying it up.
Great play by Laraque on his goal.
[totally off topic] Interestingly hitting reload and stop fast enough combined with back and forward presses prevents your message from being lost.

After tonight's games Wings will be down 3-0 to the Ducks. 
*hopefully, wishfully thinking*
*hopefully, wishfully thinking*If the Turco and the Stars don't get there act together soon, they want make it out of the first round. (I certainly hope that they can get this mess turned arround). 
As to the other games, I would like to see the Ducks to continue thier winning ways and for the Wild to beat the Avalance. Though I don't think that I will get both of those wishes, it would be nice.
Go Stars !!!

I sure hope the Avs pull one out tonight and then again on Wed...I have a bad feeling they are going to take it to game 7 (like they always tend to do).
At the same time I would love to see Detroit and Dallas both pull wins out...just so teh Avs can beat them! It wouldn't be quite the same if we didn't have to go through those two teams to make it and then sweep the Stanley Cup! Then again as long as the Avs make it I don't really care about anyone else!

That's very considerate of you P. You have to remember this is turco's first ever Stanley Cup playoffs. To expect him to carry the team to victory isn't realistic. Not that he should have too -- God knows the Stars have the talent.
I didn't get to see any of the game but let's just just say that it was obvious the Oilers had won when my mom and her boyfriend dropped me off downtown and everyone was going crazy.
Sounded like a great game, I'm sorry I missed it.
Look out for the boys in game 4!!!
