    Montreal/TB series back to back days? Meanwhile, the NBA is giving series three days off in between games.

    it just doesn't make much sense to play back to back in the playoffs

    almost never happens

    it appears Tampa Bay didn't expect to do well this season because they booked their arena for other events

    Has to have something to do with Bulls/Blackhawks and Caps/Wizards sharing arenas too.

    I hope TB finishes the job tonight.

    They prefer to have one East game and one West game each night instead of having two go at the same time. I'm sure having to dangle two series aided the fucked up schedule.

    But to be honest I thought we were speaking about the screwed up scheduling as a whole not specifically Tampa, my bad.

    yeah which is exactly why you don't want a back to back

    alternating nights allows you to keep it in sync

    anyway, Chicago completes a dominant sweep

    Stanley Cup favorites.

    West takes the Cup, IMO.

    The Blackhawks hold off the Wild 4-3 and sweep the series. The last 3 minutes of the game was pretty exciting. I have been talking about a Hawks-Ducks WCF for awhile and we are halfway there now.

    As for Lightning-Habs, it seems like Montreal is always in a series that starts 3-0 and the other team makes a run. That series could still go 6 or even 7.

    Calgary cheap shot knocks Perry out of the game

    Oblivious refs don't call anything

    I don't see how Anaheim can come back without Perry

    Perry ends it after bashing Ramo with his stick in front of the net. Bittersweet end

    Chicago Blackhawks vs. Anaheim Ducks is going to be a great Western Conference Finals! I like both teams. Always will be a huge fan of Bruce Boudreau. I think it goes 6 or 7 and I will give it to the more experienced Blackhawks.

    The Ducks looked strong yesterday with a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks. Rangers played another 1 goal game. Both teams up 1-0 now. Good starts to the Conference Finals.
