2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs

THIS is what I don't get.

Again, why doesn't the NHLN show the overfow games like NBA-TV does for the NBA Playoffs?

Not only is Columbus-Detroit not televised nationally, but Carolina-New Jersey (arguably the best series, along with Calgary-Chicago) also isn't.

Yeah, I love how Versus scheduled the 9:30-10:00 pm slot for "bonus coverage" of the Hurricanes vs Devils game. I am going to flip back-and-forth between the Caps vs Rangers and Philly vs Pitt.

Never mind...I just realized the Caps game is a rebroadcast from last night. Doh!

3-1 Wings, Rick Nash has to be one frustrated dude, just had what looked to be a nice play developing untill Lindstrom broke it up.

It looks like the fat lady is getting ready to sing in this one...

Wow! Detroit and Columbus tied-up at 5 after the 2nd. What happened? Anyway, good game going on Pittsburgh - Philly up 1-0 after two periods.

Columbus is playing desperate, I don't say that in a bad way, they just know it's now or never.

5-5 start of the 3rd....
I just got home, imagine how I felt when I saw the score ...

Ok Blue Jackets not going down without a fight.

That's good, I'm glad it's a game tonight, not happy about the amount of scoring , but at least it's entertaining.

The Flyers are punishing the Penguins on their home ice this evening: 3-0 with just over 5-minutes remaining.

 

[Jimbo]

No scoring so far in the third with 5:00 to go...
Are we looking at our first OT game ?

Red Wing Power Play !!!!

GOAL !!!!

It would have been nice to see. Hopefully, they will hold on for the last minutes of play.

Sweet! The Wings will get a few much need days off after facing a hard-hitting Columbus team. Who is next up on the schedule?

Close call for the Wings, but they are able to survive and advance

(BTW, even though I did take some shots at the Wings, I wasn't crazy enough to say Columbus would win. I had the Wings winning the series, but in six games instead of a sweep)

It will be either Calgary or Anahiem.

Back to the dreaded LATE NIGHT games ...

I know what you mean about the late-night games...especially when they go into overtime. I get the feeling the Wings will be playing the Ducks next series.

Calgary?

IIRC, if San Jose comes back to beat the Ducks, Detroit would face the #3 seed Canucks.

Yes, it's the Flames or the Ducks ...
The Sharks are the #1 team and Detroit is the # 2 team in the conference.

Congrats to the many Red Wings fans on here! :up

Once again (and as I've been saying all along) the Red Wings are THE team to beat.
