I am only sorta watching the west (indeed the pain of watching our “rivals” is too great) but the Eastern matchups have been a treat – end to end, smart hockey. Malkin alone is a revelation. I am now hoping for a Habs-Pens conf finals with Mario Lemieux and Guy Lafleur both watching from perches on high.

PS Did anyone else think of Guy when Kovalev scored his helmet-less goal?

Yup, I’m with the Holy Team (the Canadiens)…though watching the games from, uh, China, is a little difficult…

My husband and I have each selected a team to root for – he’s on for the Habs and I am rooting for the Flames. We have a bet on who will go farther. I’m also glued to the ticker about who is going to helm the Canucks. I love off ice off season stuff.

Vive les Habs! Actually, I’d love to watch the Penguins go all the way–it’s fun to see a dynasty in the making.

Thanks for using my photo. I snapped it a few years ago in Dublin, Ireland of all places. It’s the last place I’d expect to see a Habs sticker (particularly stuck to a very Euro scooter).

Ohhh, I’ll be SO GLAD when this hockey is over, and my husband gives me the remote back! I hate having to wait 2 months to see my favourite show in prime-time: Coronation Street. I AM A HOCKEY WIDOW!!

I’m keeping my eyes on the Washington & Philly series. I want Washington to play Pittsburgh at some point.

I am hoping the Flames will lose tonight so my friends that are Calgary fans can’t brag about how well the team is doing.

Go Habs go!

I’m bitter… so bitter… so I’m not watching any hockey (although I am still playing hockey). As long as the Flames don’t win, I’ll be happy. Go Habs go, I guess?

I’ve actually recently been schooled in the ways of the Canadiens – primarily the history and legacy of the team. That said, if I didn’t hop on the Habs train, I’d probably be chastised. However, given the class that MontrÃ©al exudes, it’s not a hardship to throw my support behind that team.

Gotta say, I really hope the Flames pull it out in the west! (they’re my “other Canadian team”)

As for the east… being from Toronto, I can’t say I’ve got much (or any) love for Montreal heh I would love to see Crosby and Pittsburgh go all the way so soon into his career!
