If Dallas wins tonight in Vancouver, the Wings will face the Stars.
If Vancouver wins Game 7 at home, it'll be San Jose traveling to Detroit for Game 1.



So who do we want? I think the Sharks have the more exciting team. Nabokov is a pretty good goalie and they have guys like Thornton, Marleau and young Michalek and Carle on their team. Might be a very tough matchup.




I don't know much about Dallas. Seems like their defense is good. Any thoughts?

Ok, looks like I should have finished the article. Yep, we fared much better against Dallas this year. The Sharks blew us out on two occassions.

That wrist flick over the net with Hasek lying on the ice was pretty lucky.

So was the goalpost Cleary hit with a minute or so to go in the third period. In the game it happens like that, you also need luck to win games. But sometimes you have to make your own luck.

Kip was making his own luck. 50 saves! I would even argue that he was so much in the zone that he knew that shot was going to his the post and didn't want to waste his energy defending it.

Good thought!!!

Kip was my fantasy goalie. It was weird rooting for him all year and wanting him to miss everything in the playoffs.

Kip was the ONLY reason you won the fantasy hockey. He stole it from me!!

At least he's gone now. Now, if YOU would only leave.

He could've stolen the series from the Wings as well. I think many people are happy to be rid of him this year. Nabokov/Turco - here we come.

LOL. Bite me Wood shop!

You had the best goalie (Brodeur) by far and paid less for him. I think Nabokov helped me as much as Kipper in the end. Brodeur had me sweating so much that I wasn't able to pull my goalies as early as I wanted to and it almost cost me dearly.

I can't wait to resume our battles. Baseball and basketball are mere distractions now, lol.

I'll bet Brodeur will be the number two pick next year (after Crosby), but I'll pass on him cause I hate the Devils. I've got another goalie in my mind.
