I am hoping for that, but after waking up this morning and seeing that Anaheim came back and won that game, that I thought was over, I don't know if it is going to happen now?

Imo, the Sens are now in tough, too.
I hope the Penns can eliminate the Caps tonight, and it will be interesting to see if Crosby returns?

Getzlaf is a beast for Anaheim and a truly one of the best leaders in the NHL.

Looking more and more like Sheary and Crosby will be back tonight for the Pens. I could see Crosby getting another game off given they have the 3-1 lead.

No disputing that!

I'll be surprised if Sid is back, but my gut tells me the Penns would like to finish them off now.

I am totally on board with Nashville. They played outstanding defense against the hawks, and shut down St. Louis.

Anaheim has not had stellar success in Game 7s at home.

I think Crosby should have sat out this series - why rush back in? His team was furious when he got injured, and this made them play against the Caps with anger (or you can call it having more fuel in their tanks). But with Crosby rushing back in, his team then breathed a sigh of relief and just expected him to continue performing his magic, but here is the thing: although he isn't experiencing any concussion-related symptoms, he still isn't 100% yet.

Also, the team is missing their #1 D-man and #1 goalie. Now although Fleury has been great, the team still needs to understand that he isn't the kind of goalie who can stand on his head for them (like how Murray did last year). If they keep allowing the Caps to pressure him, he is going to break down and let in a few.

Now they will be playing gm 7 tonight - will the Penguins choke?

I was very impressed by their D-man Yosi. That guy can skate like the wind and is very solid all around.

I was pretty disappointed this morning seeing the Oilers got beat out I was really hoping they'd get by the Ducks and move on.

Was glad to see the Pens beat out the Caps, well, most Ovi!

I hope the Preds can get by the Ducks and I hope they can beat the Pens for the Stanley Cup.

Going to be some great hockey coming up!

Nice win by Ottawa last night. Like to see them win the cup. I don't "hate" any of the teams left so good luck to all and sit back and watch some good hockey.
