I’m very happy the Blackhawks won that last game, but truth be told, either way it turned out it was a hell of a fun double overtime game! Very exciting! ---

The absence of Carey Price was in no way a contributing factor to this loss. I’m actually thinking Carey Price might be traded at this point. I know it sounds ridiculous, but Montreal probably feels they are within striking distance of the Cup and goaltending is fine. Price, at this point, could fetch a good … price. They traded Halak a couple of years ago under similar circumstances. ---

The Rangers will get smoked by LA or CHI, unless Lunqvist steals the series. I feel like I am watching two different leagues between these two series. ---

They mentioned last night that in regular season, New York beat Chicago both meetings and split the games with LA. Regardless, you seem to hold the majority opinion, **Gangster Octopus**. ---

As a Rangers fan, I am hoping for a thrilling quadruple-overtime Game 7 between the Hawks and Kings. ---

Well, I was sort of hoping LA could win at home but on the other hand I hope this series never ends. Great hockey. I would never have bet Chicago could score 4 times on Quick but then Kane never ceases to amaze. Everyone knows what he’s about to do but no one can stop him from doing it. ---

All right hockey-heads, who’s the pick for game 7 Kings / Blackhawks?? Me? No idea. Chicago doesn’t get eliminated in elimination games, and L.A. doesn’tose game sevens. Kings win plenty of away games, won the cup in 8th seed. Chicago beats the Kings at home all the time! My pick is whoever wins will beat the Rangers in five or six. (Sorry NY Fans) As golden as Lundqvist is, there’s just too many shooters to beat him. ---

I’m really pulling for the Hawks, but if Chicago has to go down please let it be a good game! ---

Well, five goals on fifteen shots in the first. Shaping up to be quite a lively game. ---
