Osgood is getting the start of game 5. Sounds good to me. Hasek's done.

Crazy Hasek Flaking out in the Playoffs "didn't see that one coming"

And you really think Calgary could be an answer in either conference? I like their team (I'll always root for Iginla) but I just don't think they have the talent to make it that far, and plus I think San Jose is seriously underperforming. The Flames are playing a big part in that, but it's just an impression.

Well I've seen more from Calgary obviously since they're in our division. Iginla is just beyond clutch. If that dude gets pissed he can win games by himself. Add in a hot streak by Kipper and you could see a Calgary run.

Maybe one day I will be able to talk about the Leafs in a thread like this.

Same feeling about the Blackhawks. They didn't make it but at least they were fun to watch.

Yeah, they definitely have some real good pieces.
The organization seems to be making a commitment to getting rid of the negative image that they had for so many years. They never played home games on TV before (to inspire people to pay and go see the game, had the opposite effect). This year they played a good chunk of them on local channels and next year every game will be televised. They have a partnership with the White Sox to advertise through each other at each others games. They are also smart enough to realize that the biggest thing that will bring back fans is winning. With Toews, Kane, Sharp, Byfuglien, etc as a base and Tallon(GM) making a commitment to improve the team with offseason moves they could be doing a fair amount of winning in the upcoming years.
