Chicago and Minny, I'm not predicting a 8 over 1 upset in this series but Minnesota does have a star caliber player who knows what it takes in the playoffs with parise and they could be interesting.

Minnesota will be swept. They have nothing going for them. Pick any team stat and they are mediocre at best.

Well...Heatley and Pomminville are out so expectations are not so high.
A full Minn lineup cold make things interesting and maybe steal one or two games from the mighty Hawks.

Should be interesting if the Kings will beat the Blues like a drum. 8 in a row including a sweep last year.

Personally I don't think the Blues have the scoring to keep up. But never count out the revenge factor.

Still no word on Sid? that can't be good.

Have him come out as a surprise. Or like when a wrestler appears during a match.

"Oh my god, that's Crosby's music!!!"

And he drops from the rafters.

I hope that Fleury is listening to all these pundits question him. I hope he finds his center from it and comes out and makes these guys who have seemingly forgot his previous playoff performances remember.

(frank) last spring.

New playoffs and a fresh start, I expect the team will be better in front of him and he will be ready.

I definitely think Sid needs his own music...that would be hilarious.

The fact that he didn't get a concussion from that shot is about the best news you can hope for. If he was as prone to them as many sadly want to believe he would have got another. At least we know he's coming back sometime soon, even if it's not the first few games.

Cautiously optimistic about the teams mindset right now. Let's get this show on the road.

The media is a bunch of goof balls, at the least Great one said it right that fleury has to play well but also said he is one of very few that can play in a huge offensive system where there are many odd man chances. In Fleury We Trust

Chicago should be thankful its playing Minny instead of Columbus. The BJ's would have given them a tougher series.

It would have been a tougher series but Chicago is a juggernaut in almost every statistical category you can find.

By gawd, CROSBY, CROSBY, IT'S CROSBY, he's whipping Tavares like a government mule

I dunno about you guys but the Crosby silence is sounding good, expect a jovial announcement tomorrow and basically every media person will be all over it.

Good interview with Sid on Madden today. He basically said he's ready to play if the doctor says he can take a hit without hurting his jaw. Said his weight and fitness are good.

Cal Clutterbuck can play on my team anyday.

Minny CAN make it interesting

Steelers signed the best Bills player of the past decade today.

They better be ready for what is going to come in the second period.

Kunitz just compliments Malkins game so well (like he does for Sid). Smart, physical, and a pest but with skill. I think Iggy getting his chance with Sid will motivate him more. Iggy, morrow, and Murray and going to be some hungry mofo's
