That is what I see happening

Ottawa are broken like a wild stallion that become a farm horse

As much as I don't like the Ducks' "antics" after whistles etc., they are a very good team and their D corps is outstanding. I think the Ducks have a much better chance.

Whether one feels that they bend the rules, break the rules, whatever...it's certainly not the fault of the players and these guys play HARD. They could win it all in my opinion.

(I wouldn't like that...for the record).

I'm hoping for a Anaheim Pittsburgh Final.

I don't want to see Nashville get in without their #1 center, they will be the weakest against pittsburgh. Anaheim will be more competitive.

You have to love how Tanner hates on the Pens defense, but then points out in almost the same breadth (from a previous blog) how the Caps (who's d was lit up in the playoffs) is the best in the league! I think its fair to label him as a Pens hater (at least a Pens fan hater!) from this point forward. After all the Pens were "lucky" that MAF scored 17 goals in their 4 wins vs the Caps.

"The feel good story of Ottawa has come to an end now, right? You don't recover from a 7-0 beat down in game five, right? Of course not. So Anaheim has the best chance of coming back."

I guess Anaheim should let Edmonton take their place because they beat Anaheim 7-1 in Game 6 and Anaheim was able to come back.

After Corey Perry's non-suspension, and the fact that the game is in Nashville, I expect a lot of power plays for Nashville tonight. Will they take advantage of them? That's a different story, but I think that could be the deciding factor.

I think that could be the deciding factor.

Will be the deciding factor. I think the refs are probably sick of the poop and may retaliate. Thats not the Nashville fan in me hoping it happens, but the logical person seeing a group of people getting repeatedly poop on and taking control of a game in the only way they know how.

As a ref how frustrated must they be to know that they simply can't call everything only to have the ducks abuse it as much as possible.

Can I say Ottawa now?

Well jeez that was sneaky and I agree ottawa can a broken Karlsson lead his team to a do or die game 7? Yes it think he can,because these playoffs have been an anomaly! Teams beating teams 7-0,7-1 and a few more blow outs, haven't( I don't think?) seen playoffs like these since the 80s,bad goal tending shabby defense, and surprisingly I'm not talking about the Leaf's ! who ever wins will possibly go down as the shatiest team in the history of the nhl to win it! This year was wide open! Imho sorry
