anyone watch phx/nash last night? i saw that some think nashville is the team to beat in the west (i'd say st louis is) so that didn't get them off to a great start.

Watched into the 3rd period. Game started out pretty tentatively, but picked up steam throughout. As a closet Coyotes fan I'm not sure how they are doing it, but they are finding ways to win...that and Mike Smith playing out of his mind.. I thought Rinne wasn't particularly sharp last night. That being said, I still think Nashville is the team to beat the rest of the way. (With apologies to St. Louis, but none to the Rangers)

listened to it early. radio is better than nothing, but there's no way to really know how things are going. watched more, but bedtime called. thanks for the reply.

As much as I want to see the Caps bounce the Rangers, it will be VERY hard to root for Dale Hunter (for ruining the one good Islander team of the '90s). I tend to hold on to grudges...but if he did find a way to win this series I might start to forgive him.

i was never a big hunter fan; i'm ambivalent about him as coach. but i want that cup!! tortorella could be coaching the caps and i'd root for them!

Would have been nice to have the Predators play like this against the Wings...

I'm sure the ice will melt soon. I've been watching all the playoffs on CMT, Hockey Night in Canada, great coverage and Don Cherry at intermission.

I was a little concerned they would stop showing games after all the Canadian teams were out, but that's not the case. They did however draw the line at Phoenix-Nashville, and I had to watch on NBC.

I read an article about this. CMT was allowed to cover two series and they chose both series in the East. Don Cherry is entertaining even if you can't always agree with him.
