Funny picture!

And yet disturbing on some level . . .

I was just about to say the Stars need to change goalies and the Blues add another goal. 3-0 St. Louis after one period.

If this holds up Stars need to find another goalie in the off-season. They won’t win the Cup with Lehtonen.

3-0 isn’t impossible to overcome. Go Stars!

Road Teams, this is a bizarre series.

It really doesn’t make sense, Dallas wins there and St. Louis wins away as well.

And often in convincing manners. StL seems a bit of a team of destiny.

But 5-0 is.

Sucky goaltending eventually catches up with you.

Go Blues! We still love Coach Hitch here in Dallas, and he out coaches Ruff again.

Congrats Blues! They kicked some rear end there and look really formidable.

Maybe the Stars will contact my Pens for a trade. We have lots of good goalies.

Go Blues!!

Dallas put up a very good series--just like regular season. A lot of games decided by only one goal.

Ruff had injuries to deal with while Hitch didn't this time around. It is quite rare to see the Blues go this far without serious injuries somewhere.

If Nashville can pull it off tonight, then my Blues have a seriously good chance at the Finals. The Sharks, though, seem to have the Blues' number. That will be a tougher series.

Injuries are no excuse. They need to upgrade their goalie. Can’t win a Cup with crappy goaltending.

Sharks up, capitalized on the power play, early 1st period. 1-0.

One is never happy coming up short but this Predators team has had a very good post-season even if they bow out tonight.

If the Western Finals are the Sharks vs. Blues, those are two teams that have had bitter disappointment countless times, the Sharks really seemed like the cream of the crop a few years ago, were making every post-season until I think last year.

3-0 Sharks

“Sharks vs. Blues”

If this holds up I’m glad for their fans. It’s been a long wait.

Pavelski and Joe Thornton have been with the Sharks forever it seems.

Good for the Blues and if this holds up, the Sharks in the Western Conference Finals.

Sharks have some very mature players, Thornton is 36ish. This might be their last kick at the can. They always seemed to flame out of the playoffs in weird ways. This time they win. Good for them.
