Yes, It'll be nice to see the Hawks offense open up a bit.</p>


 </p>


As seen in regular season, the Sharks can't skate with the Hawks. As far as physical play, the Sharks are similar to what we saw against the Wild. In fact, SJ is dead last in hits in the playoffs this year. That's very odd considering this is a team with Torres.</p>

 

[Tater]

Grats to Kruger and Shaw for their first playoff goals.</p>

 

[PatrickShart]

Congrat's to Craw as well....getting his first "series" win.  It's kind of like a QB getting his first playoff win.  While it's really a team thing, the QB/goalie has that mark on them until they get it.</p>


 </p>


Bickell had a great series as well.  He's got 5g in his last 11 playoff games - 2 of them in OT - as well as 45 hits in those games!</p>


 </p>


Keith/Hjarll  (+5 each) on shutting out Koivu...and eliminating Parise</p>


 </p>


Oduya (21:02gm) and Rosival (21:21) on being 2nd and 3rd in ice time - combining for +6, 16hits, 21 blocked shots</p>


 </p>


PK was outstanding as well</p>

I am rooting for Wings tonight and Sunday!</p>

The game was won in the first, Crawford to me should have been the first star, but I understand how it works. On to the next round which I don'nt know about you folks but I would like us to see the Sharks, I just like that match up better, even though it would be best to play the WIngs.</p>

 

[PatrickShart]

I'd like to see the Wings win....</p>


 </p>


Reasons -</p>


Easy travel - Hawks so far been only to Minny, then DET...where as it would mean DET just played 7 and flew back/forth to CA</p>


Good Matchup in the sense of similar styles...it would come down to execution</p>


 </p>


I'd also like to see STL win...</p>


So then the SJ/STL series...both teams would have to travel back/forth...and STL would expend more phyiscal energy</p>


And Quick can steal games for LA</p>

 

[WiHawksFan]

I liked how they finally were able to get close to the net. In game 1-4, many of their goals were from the perimeter.</p>


 </p>


It was nice to see Shaw and Hossa score from around the net. Sharpe's too...if you count the 5-3 PPG.</p>

Yeah.</p>


Me too.</p>


 </p>


I can't get over that icky feeling.</p>

Did the Wild score a power play goal at all during the series?   Aren't going to win much going 0-for the series on the PP.   Speaks volumes about the PK.</p>

 

[WiHawksFan]

nope</p>

no PP in the series first time in 17 years. </p>

 

[Mach29]

I think we get to meet the 'new' Raffe Torres.</p>

 

[whiteevo]

i just want to bury the wings. for my own selfish, being-talked-down-to-for-decades, living in michigan reasons. so **** them.

ugh.....go wings.

 

[Pez68]

I'm ok with the Wings winning but I want St Louis out of there. Hate them almost as much as Vancouver.

 

[PatrickShart]

I think STL doesn't have the offense vs CHI</p>


 </p>


Hitchcock will have them hanging by a thread if they make it to round 3</p>


 </p>


And the goalies....weak</p>

 

[MassHavoc]

I want the wings to go to game 7 even if they do win. I don't want them to win, but selfishly I like the tv schedule if they do.</p>
