Colorado is my favorite team and I also like Montreal and I was not surprised that they could win the first games, in fact I hope the beat the socks off of Dallas and Carolina.

"The Carolina Panthers"?  (reference an answer a few submissions up).  hehe.  It's Hurricanes, but perhaps you meant to say Panthers?\n\nAnyhow, I am stunned by Detroit's early exit - likewise the Stars.  The East seems to be keeping pace - the top teams have either advanced or are near advancing, while upsets abound in the West.\n\nI'm a Canes fan, but I have to say, if they exit the playoffs, I'm pulling for Edmonton.\n\nAs for what happened to Detroit?  They spent the whole season being #1 and my best guess is they simply ran out of gas.

Injuries have taken their toll.  When they were healthy, they whooped Dallas.  They would have beaten the Bears too.  When the defense gets healthy, they'll be fine.  Hopefully they'll still be in the playoff hunt.

Yes, I am totally depressed! Bittersweet night last night. I am a true life-time Leaf fan living in Ottawa, it was nice to finally beat that heartless Senator team, but when Tampa scored late in overtime, I was devastated!

Yes, I am a firm believer that the Spurs LOST, and the Mavericks didn't WIN. The Spurs INVENTED defense, and there is no way they committed as many fouls as were called. I'd love to see STRAIGHT UP BASKETBALL (not a free throw bonanza) from these two teams, and if we see that tomorrow night, San Antonio will survive another game. The Spurs are the defending champs, and unlike some people who think this is going to be a cakewalk for Dallas, I think San Antonio is going to surprise everyone and drag this series out to 7! If anyone can--it's the Spurs!!! Just have faith--the pro's know what they are doing! =)

Yeah I was watching like every single game until the Lakers got knocked out... Now I'm sortta depressed about the whole thing. It's not gonna get real interesting until the next round. Then comes the finals when things really start to heat up.

I was super-mega happy for WADE and the team!! They deserved it, but I didn't expect Miami to close the 7-game match that early, thanks to the Game-5 win. If they didn't win that Game 5, they wouldn't have had the twice-to-beat advantage, which instantly killed the Mavs!\n\nI was also itching to see the reactions of the Dallas players and coaching team... I knew it was difficult for them to erase the memory of that night... I mean, they didn't have the homecourt "advantage" that they should've wished hard for...\n\nMost basketball critics were predicting that Miami would not win in the Dallas homecourt, but haha, they were wrong! I believed in my team, I believed in the waxing hot MIAMI HEAT!\n\nI believed in them last conference (but they lost to the Detroit Pistons early in the Eastern Conference match) and I still believed that they'd be the champs this conference. And I was right, coz they are indeed the 2005-2006 NBA Champs!!!\n\nCongrats to D-Wade for winning the Finals MVP Award!! Giving all praises to God, that's my boy, Dwayne!\n\nCongrats to Coach Pat Riley for a splendid coaching this entire conference, wish you'd stay in Miami for good! Nice of you to avoid the intriguing questions, haha! \n\nCongrats to everyone in the team, the 15-strong included! Enjoy the championship ring Miami Heat people!\n\nCongrats to the White Hot Heat supporters! Y'all did a great effort in showing intense white hot support and love for your Miami team!\n\nLive for the moment!!!

Well sadly, i think i am the most bummed person of them all that my suns are gone. I think the suns made this years playoffs one of the best in a while. And i dont feel the mavs won it fairly in game 6, the refs were horrible in that game and took us out of the 2nd half. Every time 1 of our players got on a role, they would call a foul, and they would have to sit down. But next year the suns are going to be the favorite to win the championship with Amare coming back. \n\nIll tell you 1 thing, the finals would have been a lot more fun to watch if it was the suns vs heat.

Moon, I have never been more ready for any game in my life, and I've been following -- and loving -- hockey since I was six years old! My proud Buffalo Sabres have played superbly all season long and have been THE surprise team of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Carolina Hurricanes have whined and complained and arrogantly proclaimed themselves the superior team from game one, yet here we are facing the ultimate seventh game of this series to decide it all. \n\nWhat do I expect? I expect my glorious Sabres to shock the hockey world yet again and defeat the 'Canes in their own building (where there will be thousands of Buffalo supporters cheering in full throat). It would be poetic justice and no team nor its fans could be more deserving than the Buffalo Sabres. I am so primed for this game and can hardly wait for the puck to drop tonight!\n\nAlthough I grew up in the Buffalo area and spent most of my life there, I now reside in the Washington, DC area. You will find many transplanted WNYers scattered about the country, including a large contingent here and in North Carolina. We are loud and proud in support of our beloved Sabres, no matter what happens. But again, we are going to WIN! :)\n\nThank you for the "welcome back" question, Moon! ;)\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!

Yes Ma'am! By beating the Mavericks and tying the series, the Spurs have not only gained the momentum--but the CONFIDENCE. If anyone watched the post-game interviews with Dallas, they saw what I saw, and that was a team that looked UNSURE. Just days earlier, they carried a swagger and a "spark" that was the prime reason for being up 3-1, and now that has vanished! Both teams have faced adversity, but San Antonio is the only one that has had to face THAT, PLUS elimination! After all that hard work, AND playing on their home court in a Game 7 situation they've been in--I doubt they will let the Mavericks steal it from them, and I do believe they will win! =)

First game dude.  And you're obviously a UNC fan.  Carolina might not look all that great tomorrow night either, but they're #2 in the country.

Yeah. I'm Canadian, and while I would have liked to see the cup back in Canada - I remember visiting some friends in North Carolina and looking at the stats last November and the Hurricanes were at the top of the conference.  I kept an eye on them all year - and you know what - as cool as it would have been to see eighth place (in the west) Edmonton come and win it - The Hurricanes totally DESERVED to win - they worked their butts off all year and game 7 - they were relentless and outplayed the Oilers hands down.  I'm happy for them.  I feel bad for the Oilers, but they've won the cup more than a few times - and The Hurricanes haven't.  Given they are an expansion team I think it's good for the south to have a Stanley Cup winner and spread the thrill of hockey to a region that is learning the joy of the game!

Well, you guys got your wish, there WILL be a Game 5 here in Raleigh on Sunday. I'm not the happiest person in the world right now but we'll just have to see about tomorrow.

Still here.  My team may be out but at least they've been there many times.  Let me guess, dallas?  I'll root for everyone else.

Not this year, but maybe next year.  Dallas will be weaker next year, that poor East, can't get anything right this year.  Detroit is their only saving grace.
