Darkmanx, I'm soooooo sorry but I'm a Canadiens fan since I was a toddler.
I could only watch the last 10 minutes of tonight's game but it was awesome! The Leafs rock, too!!!! Empty-net goallllllllll!
About the anthem debacle, what really got us was that Americans were booing our anthem as we were burying four soldiers killed in American friendly fire. It was seen by many as inappropriate but apparently, a lot of the American fans didn't know the situation.

First of all, just to correct Darkmanx.... It's Ottawa not Ottowa
Secondly, Red wings fan will remember the Blues beat them the last two games of the season, Johnson has been way better than Hasek, The wings are old, History is in the past.... The future is now and it's BLUE

i have to agree with mulder....i think the Blues will take the series....the wings are old, and had enough trouble with Vancouver so it might be a LONG series vs St. Louise
ps...thanx for the correction mulder

Regardless of the situation.... booing another country's anthem is just plain fucked up! I mean, if there's a beef with a particular player and he gets booed, that can be chalked up to bitter rivalry or whatever... but the anthem?! It's just plain wrong.... 
PS... GO AVS!!!!!

I agree with Aqua!I have played many sports and seen individuals
do many wrong and oftentimes uncaught things.They may be wrong but you don't boo another team or countrys theme song!

Hey, we lost the first two, and then took 4 straight! How much trouble is that??
I agree it will be a tough, hard fought series, as it usually is between these two teams. But if history repeats itself, the Wings should win the series. We played the Blues in '96, '97, and '98 and won each time. They're a very good team and it will be a very good series. I can see it going the full 7 games.
And Mulder, any hockey fan knows that what happens in the regular season, doen't always indicate what will happen in the playoffs.....So they beat us the last two games of the season...that doesn't prove anything. |

I also agree with Aquaman about the National Anthems...(but not about the AVS....  )
I thought it was just disgusting and extremely rude!
Just because you may dislike at certain team or player, you don't show such blatent disrespect for their country! |

Not that i'm defending the anthem debate but its kinda the medias fault and our own. Everytime there is a Canada vs. USA hockey game, its all about national bragging rights. So there are some idiots who will go too far and boo the anthem, and to correct the misconception, amercicans also do that to our canadian national anthem (ie Detroit Pistons vs Toronto Raptors)
Back to hockey, i know the wings are though and i expect a big series but Blues are due to greatness, wings won it in 97, 98. Its time the Blues won the cup.... Interesting fact... the Blues have not missed the playoffs since 1980, longest streak for any sports team. GO BLUES

Well, Mulder, if the Wings weren't in the playoffs I might be rooting for the Blues. They've been trying for a long time and haven't won the cup yet.... But since I'm in Detroit, well.....what can I say? GO WINGS!!!!!!
Gee, too bad about them AVS! He he he he.... |

No disrespect taken, darkmanx. There's nothing wrong with a little friendly rivalry...
Now, if San Jose will just dispense with the Avs!...I'd be a mighty happy lady!! |

Wondering where our Blues and Av's fans are????
BTW, what was with Tkachuk taking that run a Hasek at the end of the game?? Not really a smart thing to do.
Should make the next game rather interesting.....   |
