Anyone else think that best of 7 is a little excessive? Best of 5 perhaps? Also.. is constant OT periods really more exciting than a shoot out?

Not sure but i think hidden patches of grit on the ice, or a Polar Bear randomly thrown into the rink would make it more interesting to watch

Well they 3 for 1 now, & with 1 more win and they go to the west final.

Will they win the SC. Not keen on Van but be nice to see a Canadian team win it.

Bit like wanting Manure to beat Baca, best of a bad job really. :blink:
