If Carolina would stop making up excuses why they lost and concentrate on playing better they could probably come back.\nMontreal is a team you don't want to play in the first round as over the years they have beaten a lot of the better teams. Especially Boston.

they are the best team in the playoffs? um can you pass that joint this way friend? We are gonna find out if this is even gonna be a series in game 3. If jersey wins then its a series, if carolina does it to them again and wins game 3 then its over.............

Amen!Personally, I think the Mavs have gotten EXTREMELY lucky this series, and I think the refs couldn't suck any worse. Therefore, I think this series isn't over yet, and I'd like to see it go to a Game 7. Not just because I'm a Spurs fan, but because I'm a basketball fan. The quality of ball hasn't been it's best because the teams have not been able to play to their full potential because of the whistles being blown. I'd LOVE to see a long series of STRAIGHT UP basketball, instead of a free throw bonanza (that's why Dallas has won--NOT because of thier great play). Isn't that what the playoffs are about, anyway?!

I would tend to agree about one of these teams,but only one of these teams you mentioned can possibly make it to the finals. Right now I would lean towards Dallas.

Your favorite team must have lost a playoff game in sudden death.

I thought it was a very great game. One of the best games carolina has played since the season began. Cam Ward was looking GOOD!!! The whole team played good too!!\n\nYeah Boy!!!\nGO CANES!!!!!!

I'm feeling your pain my brother.  Of course the off season will be pretty interesting to say the least.  Lots of trades and free agency signings will keep us warm until Feb.

I am a big Montreal fan, so it hurt to watch Carolina beat them.  Cam Ward won that series for the Hurricanes.  Montreal dominated most of the games, but Ward was hot.  Nevertheless, Carolina has a pretty good team, and they have earned their advantage over New Jersey.

They lost and they are eliminated from the playoff.\nI felt bad for the Giants' fans, even i'm not a Giants fans.

me too, im just a knowlegable basketball fan that knew that the heat would not panic being down 2-0 becasue they had so many veterans with experience and i knew that it was a 2-3-2 format so they would have three straight home games, dallas ans did not realize this when they where gloating. any knowledgeable basketball fan knows that the finals has 2-3-2 format.

i can tell you not too many teams can dig themselves out of a hole that big.  carolina will win.  it's over for edmonton.  they knocked off some great teams this season.  it won't be a total loss for them.

Oh my gosh! YES!!!! The Phoenix Suns were beat up for the first two rounds!!!! But we were rooting for Dallas during the Finals.  I am so aggravated! This is crap that seriously needs to STOP!!!!! Ill always watch my Suns, but I cant ever watch a game without wanting to throw something at the tv.  Nash is a double MVP and he doesn't get anything called for him ever,.  Its just plain ridiculous.

well, the top 2 seeds are gone. i am glad to see dallas gone and disappointed in detroit losing.  i say the avs will slaughter the sharks in six games .as far as the oilers and flames who cares?  i see the flames and avs in a dogfight in the west. i say the winner will play new jersey for the cup.

Nothing in game 2, game three Dallas just imploded in the last half of the 4th quarter and that may have very well cost the Mavs this series.  The worst part is that Dallas is blaming the officials and not taking the blame themselves.  Miami offered no excuses when they lost the first two in Dallas, sucked it up, and now have momentum in the series.

I miss the whalers with all of my heart and it sickened me to see Carolina celebrate with the Stanley Cup.   That should've been CT have a victory parade not those dawn Carolina who think icing is just frosting on a cake!!!  Okay okay I am done venting now!!!

i think it is asked too much. why don't they ask something else instead?  as far as the odds of edmonton, buffalo, carolina and anaheim i'd say were pretty low.  no one predicted early in the season that there would be 2 lower seeds in the west battling in the conference finals.  in the east no one foresaw carolina or buffalo battling it out in the eastern conference finals.  i did some research and found some sites with the odds. the first site(vegas insider) edmonton was predicted to have a 25-1 chance, anaheim a 40-1 chance, buffalo a 75-1 chance, and carolina a 100-1 chance.  the second site (usa today) predicted buffalo odds at 30-1, carolina 45-1, anaheim 50-1, and edmonton 90-1.
