Ottawa looked very convincing over Buffalo.

I'm going to have a very hard time choosing if an Anaheim Ottawa final comes about, but it would be ****ing great hockey!

Remarkably, Ninot was 100% wrong across the board (winners and games played).

I was 100% right on the winners after round 1. I picked underdogs though, hoping that would vault me into a lead. And thus I failed.

[notyoueither]

Not a good year to bet underdogs, until this round...

WOO HOO! PP goal by Zetterberg! 1-0 Wings!

Killed off a 5-on-3.

...

Still 1-0 after 2.

[Lord Avalon]

Ducks tied it up early in the 3rd, Wings scored with about 5' left. Then killed off a penalty as the Ducks pulled the goalie with a couple left.

First game to the Red Wings!

The Wings played better than I thought they would, and Hasek was pretty amazing. I'm glad I picked 7.

I'm beginning to regret consistently going against my gut. Before the Detroit-Calgary series, I thought, "if they get past the Flames, they won't be stopped." Then I had second thoughts against the Sharks. Got past them, second thoughts again (though more due to injuries than anything else). But the way Hasek, Lidstrom, Holmstrom, Zetterberg, and Datsyuk are playing, they might not be stopped.

[Lord Avalon]

I think Buffalo got screwed on that disallowed goal. The shot hit his glove and was going in before he moved it.

I also think the rules should be changed to allow goals off the glove if it's still on the stick, and the player is trying to hit the puck with the stick.

That would be retarded.

[Guynemer]

I think a goal should be a goal should be a goal. It's a hard ****ing thing to intentionally kick or bat a moving puck on net; it ought to count.

[Lord Avalon]

Why would it be retarded? There's talk about wanting more goals, making the nets bigger. So what's the big deal?

It's even harder to redirect a slapshot with the blade of your stick, but people do it all the time. If you allowed hand and foot goals then you would see a whole hell lot more of them, and as far as I'm concerned, that would be a shame.
