Default I hope there's a riot.

Not that I care about the result; but won't canucks fans be a bit pissed off if they lose the series after being 3 up in the sidney cup playoffs. A riot would be cool; so come on iced hockey fanatics - if your team loses vent that rage.

I wasn't here but apparently the American classic rock band Guns and Roses had Vancouverites rioting. Was their music that bad?

They seem to play several thousand games a season too many.

Agree.

The teams in the NFL play something ridiculous like 12 games in a year, while the hockeyists can play up to 150. Bonkers.

More games = more cash from the suckers, er... fans.

Not a chance it's nearly over they haven't even finished the first playoff round yet.

Count on early June for the end.

NHL plays 82 regular season games and there is the possibility if every playoff round went seven games of a further 28.

For 150 you might be thinking of baseball (162 regular season games).

As someone who really doesn't care about the NHL I do make an exception when it comes to the Vancouver Cannots.

I love to see them lose.

Personally, I love it. The post-season is living up to billing. I hope the Canadian teams proceed (though the American teams are very Canadian too). Obviously gutted that the Oilers got nowhere near it again, though at least they get the first round pick again! Build from draft, build from the draft ...

Come on Vancouver and Montreal!

Hey Stevie!!!!!! We were all watching with baited breath yesterday and a $20 bet on from Mr D that the Canuck would lose turned out quite well

Haven't been as tense as that since the Welsh Grand Slam of 2008...

Cracking game though, and Granville Street was going berserkers tonight!
