People are still watching the playoffs ,

yeah, but the olympic dive teams wont be watching this year so that may hurt the ratings some

Turn around the OT result in Game 3, and I think the rest of the series might have gone differently. For one thing, Game 4 might have been much different once Philly got off to that 2-0 lead in the game. Play a (much, much) better third period with a 1-0 lead in Game 2 after getting massively outplayed in the second period but holding the lead and the Devils might have been the ones getting frustrated.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. The Devils were the better team in that series and certainly deserved to win it. The point here is that every series takes on its own complexion and the tide often turns for good as the result of one particular game that was up for grabs. To me, that was Game 3.

Bill, if the Linesmen had been in position on the "offsides by a yard" blown call the Flyers - Pens series may have gone different as well, making it all a moot point.

Oh and Congrats to the Devils and Kings. Seriously.

Boy, the NHL must be loving what they've created.

well lightning yea obviously cuz we shouldnt have been where we were this yr. but leafs... maybe in a few yrs. lets see who they draft this year... or trade the pick for
- boltsfan48

why shouldnt you have been? the team that was assembled just wasnt good enough to get to the playoffs, the D was weak and well roloson was pretty burnt out

its not nhl 12 where you somehow signed suter for 3.5mill and had rinne and others

Oh and Congrats to the Devils and Kings. Seriously.

who cares what the nhl thinks? the reason why this league is much better then the NBA is due to parity, and if the league doesnt like that well then too bad coz thats what makes the NHL much more exciting

at least now we wont have to listen to whiny coaches/gm's

sooooooo who finds it strange that the two teams who will play for the memorial cup AHL championship is norfolk (tampa) and Toronto (toronto)... two teams whose NHL affiliate didnt make the playoffs.

It's the Calder cup, this is a big deal damnit, take this seriously!

I couldn't care less what others think or even what the NHL thinks, I don't care if every game is one nothing, as long as we are on the winning side. I mean really, who cares what others think is boring hockey, or what isn't, peoples opinions differ, what's boring to you might be fun to others.

Oh, I'm very happy for your team. I really don't want Richards and Carter to carry the Cup. Go Devils?

Once again, Happy for your team. I love Scuds, Brown, Quick and most of your team. Can't root for Richards and Carter though...sorry. Once the Pens were eliminated the Debbies, Kings and Preds were on my short list of lesser of the Evils to win it all. Sorry but the Kings were 3rd on that list, but top 3 ain't bad.

I'm rooting for LA. I'm from NH and 14 former Monarchs are on that team. Plus, the Hockey East Connections with Quick and pancakes......and I just love Kopitars game.

But I believe they do need this cup in NJ to be considered some of the best ever since the game changed in 2005, and they didn't seem to change with it.

It was time for Dorothy to move on from Boston.

I knew it was a bad sign when we drafted him in the 1st round and he was in the last row in the f@ck!ng building

Not fun.
