Conference Quarterfinals: #3 Phoenix Coyotes vs. #6 Chicago Blackhawks

[R.Middleton]

My god, Smith is such a stud. What an addition by Maloney.

[Mike Tython]

Mike Smith signed for 2 years, $4M. Bryzgalov was 9 years, $51M. I realize Bryz won his series, but geesh.

No kidding, and not many people had too much faith in Smith after his stint in Tampa. A big **** You to a bunch of doubters right there.

He didn't do jack sh1t here but steal a paycheck. Good for the Yotes but he was awful while he was here.

Maybe because your D is horrendous and the team as a whole is piss poor. He wasn't that bad when he left Dallas, show up in Tampa and his play goes to ****, goes to Phoenix and he's putting up good numbers again and has confidence. Coincidence? No sir.

Sorry but Kam 100% right. Been watching TB for 14 years now, if they had half the D Phx has things would have been different.

Sean Burke has done wonders for him as well. Tampa is cursed when it comes to goalies.

Don't take it out on me that Tampa has ass sucking D. If you can't see it then your watching the wrong sport. Your D sucks, I mean SUCKS, I hate to break it to you, it can only get better so there is an upside to it.

Yup.

0-5 in the polls so far, sooooo if my streak continues the Panthers, Rangers, and Caps will all be advancing and I'll be a perfect 0-8.

When Smith came into the Boston and Tampa Bay series last year in relief of Roloson he clearly out played him, IMO. I thought they made a mistake at the time going back to Roloson for game 7.

[HordiBrusk29]

Any way I am still in shock the Coyotes actually won a playoff series. Years and years of playoff disappointment finally over. I just wish I liked the team as much as I used to that way it would be even more enjoyable. Regardless I'm very happy for Doan. He deserves it more than anybody.

[ghjkfdhgfd]

Shane Doan deserves it more then anyone else in this series. Though I felt bad seeing Bruno on the chi bench, solid player his whole career, will never make it to the cup.
