Puck drops with MON and BOS at 7pm EST

My team: GO CANUCKS GO!

one word:

Red Wings


hmmm...

Wings own

Not cheering for the home town Leafs Jim? I wouldnt either, a bunch of goons on that team. Still the Leafs-Sens should a good series to watch, refs will probably call a tight game.

Red Wings?

Wings win game 1.

Glad to see a new team made it this year! (Nashville)

red wings all the way

Go 'Naucks' Go

No one actually admits to liking the 'Leaves' but would be cool if they took the cup

Game 1 Results

Nashville 1 at Detroit 3 (RedWings lead Series 1-0)
Boston 2 at Montreal 0 (Bruins lead Series 1-0)

GO Wings!!!
