I'd be suprised if Bertuzzi isn't gone after this season lets face it he's had 4 different teams in as many season since he left the Canucks. Flames need to make some serious changes for next season as they keep failing to deliver when it matters. Even Keenan may struggle to keep his job as head coach. Think Igilna may need to move on too as think he and the Flames need a fresh start.

From the post playoff media interview that Daryl sutters done it would seem he's happy with the core of elite players they have and just a little bit of "tweaking" is needed? Keenan feels he will see out the last year of his contract, the media seem to think that the coaching staff being changed are the" tweaking" that Sutter is going on about. Though the Flames are only one of 5 teams I think, who have made the playoffs in the last 4 consecutive years not making it past the 1st round has been a bone of contention

It would seem that flames fans aren't to happy with bertuzzi's playoff performances and want him gone for good. So he could be gone you never know.

Blackhawks beat the Canucks 4-2 in Vancouver to take a 3-2 lead in the series and heading to Chicago for game 6 so hopefully the Hawks can finish the series at home.

The Blackhawkas dump the Canucks out the Stanley Cup with a 7-5 home win with Kane & Toews having big games and getting 3 pts each, to take the series 4-2 to set up a possible meeting with the Redwings in the Conference finals if Detroit get past the Ducks.

It was nice to hear the'Detroit sucks' chant near the end of the game

There were 2 great games last night and maybe i'm a bit biased with the Hawks doing so well but this seasons playoff are the best I can remember for a long time,i can't believe most Americans like Basktball more than Ice Hockey when you get nights like last night.

Bruins force a game 7 by beating the Hurricanes 4-2

And promptly lose in overtime


Carolina v Pittsburgh... Game 1 in Pittsburgh on monday

Chicago v Detroit.... Game 1 in Detroit on sunday

Conference finals

I'll go for Chicago V Pittsburgh Final. Hopefully if this is the final I hope its not a repeat of the 1992 final and we beat the Pens this time and win that darn cup!!

I think this might be a season to early for the Hawks,back in the early 80's the young Edmonton Oilers lost to the mighty Islanders team the season before they went on to beat them and dominate the league for the next few years and I think that could be us,lose to Detroit this season before taking over as the top team from next season.

I'm not so sure tbh, the young Hawks for me came of age when they beat the Canucks. Game 5 in Vancouver I think will be a defining moment for this current Hawks team. Don't think the Wings have been spectacular in the Cup and could have and should have been beaten by the Ducks.

'hawks for me. The synchronised diving team from Detroit looked old and tired last night. Had the Ducks been able to string more than two passes together they may well have won. Worse still was the Ducks power play in 5 on 3, just stand still and do nothing. Makes me wonder where Tony Granatto has been for the last few weeks because that power play certainly looked like the Avs this year.
Should the Blackhawks and Penguins make the final it will be a wonderful series with all the young stars coming out to play but don't count the 'canes, a true team.

5-2 to Detroit

Hawks go 2-0 down in the series against the Wings with a 3-2 loss in OT. Much better performance from the Hawks with greater speed and intensity, but they were their own downfall with 2 costly mistakes from Seabrook & Pahlsson gifting the wings 2 goals.

All is not lost and if they carry on playing like they did last night but cutting out the mistakes I can see this series going all the way.

Hawks do their best to throw away the game after going 3-0 up in the 2nd period, letting the Wings get 3 goals in a 5 minute spell. Hung on and ground the win out Sharp getting the game winner in OT.

Chicago got their AR$ES handed to them by Detroit losing 6-1.Huet took over from an injured Khabby in net so at least this shows if we want to win the cup on the future he's not the man to help us.Can't see us coming back from this now, it seems I predicted correct that this is too early for us to be beating the Wings in the playoffs.
