Guess I was a little off with 8 games.

By the way that guys opinion seems pretty close to the other ones.

nah...OldCoach is right...In the NHL they reseed the teams after the first round to determine second round matchups. With the assumption that all teams that are currently winning their series go forth the seedings will go as such:

Blues go from #2 seed to the #1 seed.
Coyotes go from the #3 seed to the #2 seed
Preds go from the #4 seed to the #3 seed
Kings from from #8 seed to #4 seed.

Meaning next rounds match ups will be the Blues/Kings and Coyotes/Preds

Duh, I'm an *****, I retract my previous comment. Sorry OldCoach

Hossa is OUT for game 6: http://espn.go.com/chicago/nhl/stor...aw-return-chicago-blackhawks-marian-hossa-out

Some unbelievable goal tending by Mike Smith lead the Coyotes past the Black Hawks. Looked like there was a some kind of force field shield around the Coyote's goal.

'Yotes finally got a couple past the Hawks' excellent goalie Crawford who has kept them in the series....

Blackhawks put so much effort into the 1st period with nothing to show for it, I think it took something out of them by the 3rd period. Yotes scoring first was critical to keep the crowd support out of the game.

Wonder if the NHL Suspension Czar will dole out any punishment to Blackhawks Hayes for boarding Coyote Rozsival from behind head first into the glass...knocking him out of the game...:doubt:

Smith was fantastic. A hot goalie can win a cup, but the Western Cinference is a buzz saw this year. Eight wins against Nashville and likely the Blues will be tough.
As for Hayes, yes, they should suspend him. I'm guessing that he gets 3-5 games to start next season.
