What a wild game... just proves you can't expect anything when it comes to the finals, not even a 75% save percentage from the goaltenders.
Never has Bettman been as opened as he seems now to a return of NHL hockey to Winnipeg and Quebec City. I'm psyched, it appears he's now worried about his legacy :
“Frankly, if we’re going to move a franchise, there are a couple of places in Canada that I’d like to give my attention, because when both Winnipeg and Quebec lost their franchises it was because - I always talk about three things when talking about franchises: market, building and owner - and both of those teams were moved because two of the criteria went away.
“There was no building and there was no owner; to the extent that those markets are in a position to deal with those issues, I’d like to try to fix something that I wish hadn’t happened in the first place,” he said.
“Not unlike what we did in Minnesota.”

Next thing you know, BAM new team in KC =D
i hear those guys are doing ok in new jersey now though
OH YES IT'S TIME
this bears repeating:
Blackhawks ftw.
what the fucking shit is going on
FUCK
I was calling Hawks in five, this has the potential to go to game 7!
There's the Blackhawks I know and love
BRING IT HOME
BRING IT HOME
Can't beat Philly at home unless you have some serious momentum coming from a 7 goal victory
edit: and Philly barely squeaked out the game 3 win. AND the Hawks have been amazing on the road during the playoffs
so who knows
EDIT2: AND the top line finally looks like it gives a shit about the series
SO WHO KNOWS

But then again you can't argue with perfection and Leighton is perfect at home in the playoffs. I like the chances of the Flyers winning at home... but back in Chicago, I'm not so confident. They really needed a win in game 5. Winning two in a row obviously isn't unprecedented for these guys, but Chicago has proven to be the Flyers' least favorite city.
Should be a good game tonight though. Looking forward to a strong showing by Halladay and then a Flyers win!
