Early Stanley Cup thoughts

First off, The Ducks hope they can continue their  momentum tonight in what will surely be a load arena in the face of a while out(which seems generic, why not a blue out).  The fact they were the only Western Conference team up 2-0 makes things set up real nice for them.

Now on to the other series

Calgary vs. Vancouver Can this series please have fights in each of  the remaining games.  The amount of dislike is awesome.  Assuming the Ducks advance they have to deal with former teammate(s) either way.

Minnesota vs. St. Louis  How far can  Dubnyk carry the Wild.  More thoughts after game 3.

Chicago vs. Nashville: This series is going to be ugly good.  Especially  if we can get a goalie change in each of the remaining games.




Right now its very possible all three of series go to game 7.  Winnipeg would need to win games 3 AND 4 to make me think the Ducks are in any danger.

Ottawa vs. Montreal: I kept waiting for Subban to score on the Power Play in OT think how upset the Ottawa fans would be.  Then they score on the first rush after the PP expires.  Poor Ottawa

Detroit vs. Tampa Bay: Next to Winnipeg, Detroit is the team I want eliminated ASAP. Thankfully Tampa Bay took care of business in game 2 otherwise they would be a big dissapointment early on.

Pittsburgh vs. NY Rangers: Pittsburgh may have just woken a sleeping giant.  I don't care if games 3 and 4 are in Pittsburgh I just don't see New York losing another game this series.

NY Islanders vs. Washington: That was a fast OT goal I was thinking what channel NBC would move the NSH-CHI game to  Another series i can see going all the way.  I might have picked Washington but it would be more fun if the Islanders advance.
