Unless San Jose can pull off a Philadelphia, Chicago will win the West.

I honestly don't think that they will. They played a pretty good game for the most part, and they still lost(the game could have gone either way) 3-2 in overtime. With Heatley forgetting that the Western finals are on(I think he and Thornton are both still in San Jose, mentally at least), the Sharks have a massive hill to climb.

Montreal just couldn't get anything going today. Major bummer.

It has been feast or famine for Montreal this series. Of course, it has been famine for three games, while the feasting only lasted one game.

Getting shut out in three games of a series. Has that ever happened before?

I honestly don't think they will be coming back from this 3-1 game deficit.

Don't count them out yet. It's always possible for them to take the next three games.

A Black Hawks - Flyers series may, finally, settle one thing: the age-old dispute over whether the Philly cheesesteak or the Chicago Italian beef sandwich is better.

11 goals in game 1!?!?! Holy Grail! Never saw that happening. Damn good game!!!

Another hour and we see if San Jose can put off their demise for another game. My hope is they can pull off a "Philly Miracle", but I'm not holding my breath.

We are the champions! Czech Republic won the World Championship Ice Hockey 2010 Germany!
Wow!

Well the answer was no. Congradulations to the Blackhawks!!

As a Sharks fan, I wished the series would have lasted a little longer. With the exception of game two, the series was very competitive. The sharks played well, but Niemi was the series star. He made a number of unbelievable saves or the series could have gone the other way. Penalties killed the sharks in the third period. Boyle shooting the puck over the glass, Clowe's nice takedown ot Toews and Heatly's slash in the offensive zone. They were all stupid, undiscipled penalties. You knew the Blackhawks would cash in eventually, and they did. End of Story

Yeah, but unlike the other series that they were behind in their offense has totally disappeared(except for one game). Anything can happen of course, but I just think they may have met their match. Game #5 for all the marbles. I hope it will be a good game.


And San Jose is gone, having been swept in the series by losing 4-2 in today's game. I am really glad that Heatley has been denied the Stanley Cup Ring that he did all the whining to try and get.

I wonder if this latest setback will help or hurt the Sharks next season? Will they try to tinker with the lineup or will they leave it as is?

I too hope it will be a good game. Both the offence and the defence have known all season that Halak and Price can't win the games alone yet the forwards and defencemen refuse to do their part when required. I'm very disappointed in the first and fourth games. Montreal has the potential to win, they have to show they deserve to win.

I like this. I wanted Chicago to win. I want to see an all original 6 Stanley Cup final.

I'll bet that they leave the lineup as is. They don't really need to make changes. They need to keep their players out of the penalty box, as Captn Sacto has so eloquently pointed out.
