Me. It was a lot of fun being part of the "black out" crowd that night. I also clearly remembered WV getting it together last year when they played us (winning in triple OT) - heck, I think they were unbeaten after that! Glad we were able to return the favor.\n\nUofL still doesn't get any respect. Apparently all the sportscasters and coaches out there have been brainwashed into thinking there is any talent on this team (I'm being facetious, of course.)\n\nI answered another question previously with just this sort of response, given thumbs down because I had anything nice to say about my team. I am a fan, I do bleed red and black - always have - GO CARDS!

There was only 1 game tonight, and I think it is already over.  Thanks for the heads up and I will check it out in the future.  Lets go Caps!!!

Well, Moon, as it's still only the first round, it is far too early to tell. That said, I do like what's been happening so far. As correctly predicted here, the loathsome fat-cat red wings of dread detroit -- the #1 seed in the playoffs -- were unceremoniously dumped by the underdog Edmonton Oilers last night in six games! WOOHOO!!! Also, over the weekend, the Colorado Avalanche took out the hated dallas stars, another favourite, so again: WOOHOO!!!\n\nWhen my glorious Buffalo Sabres remove the utterly hateful philistinia floaters tonight (or Thursday night, either way, they go), the happiness trifecta will be complete and my three most hated NHL teams will have been eliminated in one fell swoop (I'll save that last WOOHOO!!! for later, lol). I love nothing more than to revel in the victory of the good and triumph in the defeat and abject humiliation of the evil -- and this applies to EVERYTHING! :)\n\nBut I digress... One reason these could be the greatest Stanley Cup playoffs of all time is that we missed out on ANY hockey all of last year because of the NHL lockout. Hockey came back in its full raiment of glory this season with rules changes which have directly correlated with a vastly improved on-ice product. Hockey has never been so good! Another reason -- indeed, THE reason! -- this could be the greatest playoffs ever is that my Sabres are so awesomely talented that they could conceivably go all the way and WIN Lord Stanley's Cup! Were that to happen -- and it's far too early to say now -- I would die and go to heaven on the spot! (OK, not literally... I don't even believe in heaven.) ;)\n\nAs for my expectations, well, I'm quietly confident my Sabres will continue to advance after defeating those despicable goon flyers tonight in their hellhole home in philistinia (Can ya tell I hate that godforsaken place and their truly horrible people?). But can they go all the way? In the East, where my Sabres play, Ottawa and New Jersey will be tough opponents and they may have to defeat both to continue (Carolina is struggling badly with Montreal and I'm not worried about facing either of them). If they can get out of the conference, I like their chances in the Cup Final, no matter who they face from the West. But again, all that is a long way away...\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! :)

They need to bolster their defense. Dejardins is old and slow and needs to be traded. I also think it's time to get rid of Brashear. I think it will be a very different team next fall.\n\nGo Flyers!!

I'm not satisfied!!\n\nI'm a Duck's fan and I wish they could win the cup this year; however after game one I told my girlfriend... "My prediction is either Edmonton will sweep us or the series will go to seven games."  After tonight it looks like (sadly) I will get it right with the first guess.  \n\nEdmonton is not a true Cinderella, they finished eight but the bottom three teams were playing musical chairs at the end of regular season... it won't a big surprise if they go all the way.  Too bad for the NHL and tv ratings.\n\nAs consolation to all Duck fans out there we can say the Ducks are mightier than at least 26 other teams in the NHL (by virtue of actually making it to the conference finals).

I am very dissapointed that the Mavericks lost it WAS ours but those stupid old referees made a lotta stupid calls I mean did you see how Alonzo Mourning and Shaq were making those hard fouls! I mean come on at least they could have been fair to the Mavericks, and I don't care what anybody else says about the Mavs they are still the best team in the NBA look at their season records and how they played in the series earlier and in those two games in the regular we played with Miami that was fair but what happend was totally uncalled for and next year Dallas will get it, but untill then I remain bummed out!

Ya...I loved that Crosby spin-backhand pass to Moore who backhanded it in....classic\nF*cking Hather had to dislodge the net when Malkin scored....\n\noh and Colby Armstrong, why have you continually given me fuel to hate you since you joined the Penguins? C'mon that was the worst breakaway shot I've seen for a very long time

This is a good question and your powerplay question ties in on why they lost. I very rarely say this but the announcers were right on in saying that Edmonton was not afraid to take penalties last night because san jose was not making them pay on the power play. The Sharks looked flat! Their passes were horrible, the weren't skating like they wanted in in the offensive zone and not coming back hard enough in the D- Zone, and to boot Toskala was horrible! He is done its time to put a goaltender that is play off tested in! Thats Nabokov!I think the Sharks blew it this series is over. They had control, they gave it up and now the oilers have the control going into a building that the sharks looked terrible in. They can't score on the power play because they don't shoot the puck! Its basic hockey teachings, good things happen when you shoot the puck, and when you get to fancy its can go very bad!

I totally agree, this is getting rediculous. Talk about sore losers. Aussies couldn't even get a shot on net and they are saying they got robbed. Plus Materazzi didn't deserve the red card so they were a man down the entire second half, defence was superb and the better team won. Please GIVE IT UP ALREADY!!. FORZA ITALIAAAAAAAAA

i think even the commentators were needing to call the samaritans - it has to be the dullest monstrosity i've ever sat through at such a high level and i'm pretty sure i was losing the will to live, or even worse the will to drink my beer! i'm amazed the players didn't just curl up on the pitch and have a snooze. i can see why the Swiss hadn't had a goal scored against them - everytime anyone got close i bet they were too pre-occupied with tying a noose to be bothered. it's supposed to be the finals for gawd's sake, not a kick about between the hungover, bottom 2 teams in the local pub league on a sunday afternoon...i mean even the penalties didn't evoke any passion!

I agree, I wasn't impressed, I thought they would play a lot better than that. Yeah we won, courtesy of an own goal.

I am afraid that their goose is cooked!!!! When they lost  4to 3 after leading 3 to 0 ,that was the start of their downfall.They are hurting on defence and their power play is zilch.The Hurricanes are playing with more desire and deserve to WIN. Oh well maybe next year......

By far the worst match I've seen this year.  I'm a long time holland fan and was surprised at the nasty way they played.  I haven't seen much of portugal, but they played ugly too.
