          I suppose I'm pulling for the Sharks. I guess that's my favored team to go all the way now. The rest are retreads.
          With Chicago one game away, I'd much much rather see a 4-team playoff amongst the last 4 champions. Retread or not, you don't see that in sports. Not to mention, LA vs. Pittsburgh sounds pretty damn good to me.

            Sure, no one outside of Michigan will complain if Detroit isn't in the conference finals, and that is a quality final 4, but honestly, if/when Detroit goes out, I'll be making like the Wings and golfing on the weekend...

              I'm being picky. None of these teams saw the Conference Finals last year outside of LA if they make it again, so they're really not even retreads.

              They're really the most deserving of being the last 4 standing. These teams are the cream of the crop. No hot Cinderellas this year.

                  Good luck tonight. Being nervous is good, because that means it could go either way.

                  Us Wings fans, on the other hand....no nerves whatsoever. I think everyone knows what happens tomorrow @ United Center...

                        I would love to see the Kings advance. How great would it be for the league to have the last two champs meet in the finals?

                        But really, I don't care who wins the Sharks-Kings series. I want them both to win, but don't think they can get by the Red Wings/Blackhawks

                          I know it sounds so defeatist, but honestly - would you really put more than a throwaway sum of cash on the Wings tomorrow even at really long odds? I think everyone feels they had to knock out the 'Hawks in game 5 or 6, and that Chicago would be the overwhelming favorite going back home. I mean, we've all seen this opera before (many times, with many different casts). I'm not saying they have no shot, but I have no expectation that they're going to go into Chi-town tomorrow night and take a game 7 on the road from the team that has been the best all year and who is now playing inspired hockey. I expect them to lose, as do most people if they're being honest.

                          I don't think the Wings would get by either of the Cally teams, after playing 14 games through rounds 1-2 and not being particularly physical to begin with.

                            Well as a Kings fan I've never experienced a game 7. (Became a fan during their playoff drought/ rebuilding years.) I don't even know how to feel about the game tonight. Both teams could have easily ended this series already so it's only fitting that it comes down to a one game playoff.

                              While I think the Hawks will win, I wouldn't go so far as to say they are playing "inspired hockey." The Wings gave them the game on a platter with turnovers and bad coverage. The Hawks fore check was no where near as devastating as it had been earlier in the series.
