Oh, don't even get me started. My coworker and I were just discussing their pitiful performance last night.

how about, they're %#*& garbage! if belfour wasn't playing this would have been over in 4

As much as I hate Ottawa, I am going to have to agree here. Belfour is the only one keeping them in this series.

The fact that arguably the worst line combination out of the 16 playoff teams (domi,reichel,fiztgerald) has been their best overall speaks volumes...did that search party find mogilny, yet?

Damn, I didn't think Boston would go down against Montreal! :(

Mogilny who???

Congrats to Montreal and Calgary on their wins!! Gosh, I had to stay up too late last night to see it all, but well worth it :) Let's go LEAFS!! You crazy Canadians :)

Aggghh. I thought for sure when Matt Cooke scored with 5 seconds left we were destined to win, especially since I hadn't be to a playoff game in 10 years and I was at last night's game.


I was happy to so the Habs win and I hope Ottawa wins tonight so I have something to cheer about!

Wow...only missed one prediction so far! Who'd a thunk the habs could pull it out in 7!

Next round is:

Avs/Sharks (good series here...might go full 7, as they have in the past, I'll have to show my bias and pick the Avs here, but either team can win this one)

Wings/Flames: I'd like to see the Jerome Ingila show continue, but, it's doubtful...though not impossible. Wings in 6.'

Tampa/Montreal: First glance says Tampa should win this easy, but, same thing was said about Boston, too. Could go the distance...if Theodore stands on his head, and the acting goes away, Montreal in 7.

Flyers/ Leafs/Ottawa winner: Flyers looking very good - pick them in 6.

Being a born-and-bred-Calgary-girl-but-displaced-here-in-TO gal, I was up last night cheering for my FLAMES!!

Oh, course, I just about threw up after Jarome missed the empty netter to have it become a Canuck goal 4 passes later!!

With 15 years between series wins, Calgary whooped it up last night - a friend of mine who lives along 17th Avenue (which dead ends at the Saddledome) said traffic was a standstill for over an hour for 30 blocks down 17th, with folks screaming, honking and cheering...you would have thought they won the Cup again (which was the day after my 18th birthday - May 25, 1989)

Kudos for Montreal to touch base with the pride of the Habs and pull it out.

Now - let's see OTT & TO go to triple overtime...!!!! Go LEAFS!

(edited to make some sense ;) )

Toronto on April 30
 

I'm going to be in Toronto on April 30, and would like to get one ticket for the NHL playoff game.

Do any of you NHL experts know how I might get a ticket?

Re: Toronto on April 30
 

Hum....might be a tough one. Ticketmaster is a good start. You can also try http://www.eBay.ca, as well http://www.tickets.ca - I have used them before and had SUPER tickets!!!

Last resort - check the for sale ad's online at http://www.thestar.ca

Re: Toronto on April 30
 

I hope you are willing to shell out both an arm and a leg for tickets. Standing room seats generally run about 300 bucks a piece from the scalpers, and for platnum seats you could be looking at up to 6,000 bucks a seat if you buy them on the street. Buying from a ticket agency like NeonPi suggested is probably the best idea, but even then they are gonna cost you alot of money. Your best bet is to save the 5 hundred plus dollars, goto a place like Wayne Gretzkys bar (classy establishment) or The Peel Pub (Not so classy, but cheap beer) spend the money on booze and watch the game on the big screens. The atmosphere there will rival that of the Air Canada Centre.

Thanks
 

Thanks for the ideas.

I checked several ticket sites, and they ranged from $300 to $800.

May resort to the Peel Pub.

Do you know what it's close to?

I was a season ticket holder when the Flames were in Atlanta in the real old Days, and was at the opening night when the Thrashers and Phillips Arena debuted.

Hopefully the new Thrashers owners will keep improving the club, but all their comments so far have been about basketball.
