  1. Gordon Howe from HockeyTown, United States writes: Like I've said all along. Don't take the foot off the accelerator. Dallas will be coming hard tonite so quick line changes are the order of the nite. Limit shots and scoring chances and we'll do fine. Dallas has a good team. A little banged up but who isn't this time of year. Franzens still out so the Wings will have to tighten up again. Make it as boring as possible. If the Stars get too greedy then hopefully the Wings can make them pay. No stupid penalties. I'm sure the refs will run a tight ship and hopefully the penalties will even themselves out tonite. Last game was kind of one sided. You have to be equal on both sides. The refs can't let this thing get too one sided. If they do we might end up back home.
  2. Vijay Kumar from Canada writes: At least in this decade, it has never happened that two so evenly matched power houses will battle it out for the stanley cup. Penguins vs. Red Wings has got such a ring to it.

    Can't wait for it to get started.

    Seconded! Wings in 7.

    Question is: are Red Wings a type of bird or a wing attached to a motor city wheel?

    If the former then this will be a battle of the birds not for the birds.
  5. Joe Calgarian from Canada writes: Yawn. Good to know the 'new NHL' has been such a boon to the Canadian teams, huh? what? oh, only half made the playoffs, and only one past the first round? Um, well, gee. When's the CFL season start?
  6. Sean O'Reilly from Canada writes: I never understand people that attach the games they think a team will win it in when they offer a prediction.

    What does it mean?
  7. Scot Loucks from Pickering, Canada writes: Sean O'Reilly .... when they say 7 games it means they don't really know and are afraid to bet on it.

    For example I am betting on Detroit in 5 or less.... they will school the young pens.

    Cheers
  8. Bill Weston from Grand Rapids, MI, United States writes: You have no idea how much I hope youre right Scot. I dont know if I could handle it going 7 games, lol. At least they'll all be EST starts for a change.
  9. Hugh Draper from Vancouver, Canada writes: The young Penguins were going to be out-muscled by the Flyers.

    The young Penguins will win the cup.

    I wish the Canucks would abandon the old-timer strategy.
  10. Tom Sawyer from Canada writes: bring the brooms tonight Detroit fans.....! The Stars will fall out of the sky tonight.

    Scot I thought when they said it was going 7 games that meant that for sure it wasn't going 8. LOL

    Hugh as far as the Pens getting outmuscled by the Flyers, the Wings were supposed to get banged by all the teams they've beaten. Go figure. I just hope that the Refs don't offer up a stinker tonight. I've just got this feeling though. Bill, can you cheer me up a bit or do you have that feeling that the Refs may have something to do with tonites game?
  12. Proud Canadian from Canada writes: Howe, stop your whinnin. Game is 2 hrs away and ur ready to behead the refs. Stop your whinnin. U got a good team, let it be that. Cry baby. Wings will win, just sit back and relax. Take a Valium
  13. Proud Canadian from Canada writes: Scotty Loucks , dont bet the house on it. 2 very good teams. Dont be more than you can afford. Its a game played on ice so it makes it slippery. Could go either way, both great teams. My bet is Penguins, I live close enough to Detroit to be a fan, but smart enough not to be one.

    No more "feelings" Gordon Howe...

    Cheers
