Looking forward to the matchups. My wife grew up in PA and the Penguins are her first love. (I think even more than the Steelers). I grew up in Northeastern Ohio and am still a diehard Browns fan. However, a few weekends ago my wife and I made a trip from Indy (long story) to Pittsburgh for the Pens-Atlanta game. It was my first NHL game (a lot of AHL games in Cleveland) and I was there in my Crosby jersey. I am hooked! I love hockey and am actually getting quite involved in it all with the Directv Center Ice thing. I think the Pens will end up in fifth place and play Ottawa. Might actually end up better than had they beat out the Devils for the division because Tampa Bay could be a likely opponent. Tampa Bay has owned the Pens this season I think. We'll see soon as things are tight right now. Looking forward to it. Not looking for the Pens to win it all but they are maturing quickly and it won't be long!
One thing I always say in the Playoffs is be careful who you wish for your team to play ;)
Good point, if you want to go all the way you need to be able to beat any team you face anyway. As Ohio State just learned in the past few months, you also want to make sure you don't "crown" yourself before you win. The game is always really played on the playing surface and what happens before the actual game does not matter.
:hockey: Jumping in for my DH - he doesn't post on here, but he's got me into hockey on occasion - anyone here a Sabres fan?? He's been pretty cheerful lately b/c of them....;)
That was one good game last night between the Pens and Ottawa. I didn't think they would stop fighting. This is what is great about hockey. All the behind the scenes stuff wife establishing who you are. It should be an exciting post-season!

Let's go Pens and Preds!!!! :number1: I've been a lifelong Pens fan, but living so close to Nashville for a few years got me hooked on the Preds, too.
LET'S GO RED WINGS!
This is always a tough time of year. I want the Wings to do well, but after their last trip to Calgary in the post-season, I'm a little scared of taking them on in the first round. We've got a great team that has an unfortunate history of first round meltdowns. I also pull for whatever Canadian and Original Six teams make it.
We've got to get an antenna so we can pick up CBC out of Windsor, Ontario. We'll get the Wings games on local TV for the first two rounds, but nothing beats CBC for the other games and last two rounds!
About the only thing that makes me happy with the Sens/Pens matchup is that I will finally get to see my boys play!!!! GO SENS GO! (and please don't choke!...again)
Also I am thrilled that the Leafs didn't make it! I think that this years playoffs will be great..all of the matchups are good!
Did I mention...GO SENS GO!
GO CANUCKS GO!!!!
The :puck: drops tonight :thumbsup:
:hockey: :puck: :hockey:
Hi Tammy, I'm from Royal Oak originally! I am all about the Wings! Let's say I'm a Wing nut!!
We now live in Albuquerque, so we get the Dishnetwork Center Ice package so we can watch all the games, if not, all we would get is the Versus stuff and Rocky Mountain Fox (Avalanche :ack: )
I hope the Wings do well too, just hope Dominick and Chris hold up...always seems goalie problems due us in.
Take care! Sarah
1st time in 13 years the Flyers haven't made the playoffs... good luck to any team that isn't the Devils :thedolls:
All I have to say is if the NHL is going to use a replay system - GET IT RIGHT! Crosby got robbed of that goal that they called back just when the momentium could have shifted to the Pens. Call me a whiner just like they do Crosby, but whining does not get you the Art Ross Trophy- skill and talent does.
I honestly don't think that goal would have changed much. The Senators came out ready to play and the Pens looked like deers trapped in the headlights. Fluery was just plain awful you could tell he was rattled early he should have been pulled sooner.
I can't believe it...MY SENS WON!!!!! I hate to admit that I was certain they would lost to the Pens...
I think this was a great series and I am hoping that they can keep it up!!
There has been some fantastic hockey so far, and it is just round one!
All I've got to say is DARN!!!! Congrats to the Senators - they were definately the better team in this match-up. Now, LET'S GO REDWINGS!!!
