WCSF: (1) Chicago Blackhawks vs (7) Detroit Red Wings

[Papayas]

NHL fans have become joke. Team loses a game, immediate blame goes to the ref. No one wants to fight through adversity anymore. Every team gets their fair share of calls, some games more lopsided then others. The good teams overcome it.

I'm hoping for a Chi-Pit final, but if LA moves past San Jose, which I think they will, they are superior in clutch moments, I think either Detroit or Chicago would have a tough time against them

One end of the spectrum we have people thinking the NHL is rigged, Bettman is telling the refs to manage games so certain teams win, or that series go to game 7.

On the other side, we have someone blaming a gaming company for poor programming, animations and in-game mechanics.

Glatt you dawg

4 out of the remaining 5 teams have at least one top 3 draft picks on their roster. The other team must be cheating or using smoke and mirrors to somehow to get it done .

Toews: 3rd overall

Kane: 1st overall

Doughty: 2nd overall

Crosby: 1st overall

Malkin: 2nd overall

Fluery: 1st overall (LOL)

Seguin: 2nd overall

Datsyuk: 171st overall

Zetterberg: 210th overall

Just want to see if this Presidents Trophy actually means anything any more...does Regular season games mean anything? Because the Rules completely change for the playoffs....lot more interference and holding etc (Kings) . Would rather...Chicago...Wings win it all...even Ugh Boston....not LA....And really hate teams that suck for years on purpose to get a whole lot of #1 picks(Pittsburgh)....Why are GM rewarded for putting a crappy team together with a #1 pick?...

If Chicago manages to win, it will be the last 4 Stanley Cup winners in the conference finals. Interesting stat

About a half hour until puck drop. Signing out for the night. The UC is absolutely ELECTRIC already. This will be the best crowd of the year. Talk to everyone after the game.

I hope the Wings win, but I think the Hawks will probably win.

Lets go Wings!
