    Towards the end of the regular season I was really down on this team. A bunch of games after they traded Callahan, they weren't winning, they weren't scoring. One game in particular that drove me crazy was the 1-0 loss at home to the Sharks. I had had it with them. They have made a complete turn-around. These guys can play. I am a believer!

    It proves that it's a long season and you just have to hang with it. Once in the playoffs anything can happen.

    If you told me we'd be here, 5 straight wins, when I left the building after game 4 Pitt I would have laughed at you. Don't want to say all the MSL thing, but that brought this team together big time. That and Kreider back changed everything. 5 straight...wow.

    Captain Greed LMAO

    What is great is EVERYONE has raised their game. Even Nash who had been struggling for the entire playoffs has found his game. St Louis had 1 goal in 20 games as a Ranger and now has 5 in the playoffs. McD was hurt and lost. Staal was lost. Everyone playing well now. Even getting good shifts and scoring chances from the 4th line.

    LOVE IT

    I said it at the time, and I say it again...that deal was a grand slam HR for Sather. So what if we lose the 29th or so pick. GS HR.

    Cally should get a ring if we win...:).

    The only ring cally is going to get is when he rings for his butler to get his chauffeur to bring the car around, he is taking a road trip to Toronto. Only chance he will get to sniff a cup.

    Nash no but unfortunately Richards will be a business decision based on economics.

    Richards should still be bought out. I was never on the trade Nash wagon, he just plays with an average C.

    Still a long way to go. Can't talk about rings or cups anytime soon. Let's just hope they win the next game and see what happens from there! Really have enjoyed watching them play the last several games. Chuck I was at game 4 against Pitt too...and yeah, walking out of the building that night felt like the end of the season. They're really coming together. Getting Kreider back has had such a positive impact. His size, speed and skill balances things out across all the lines. Even the 4th line is playing well. Can't say enough about how well they've played the last two weeks (minus game 4...)

    I have a feeling they are going to keep Richards now since MSL is here and they are two wins away from the finals.

    Just step back. Who the F would have thought this team would be 2 games away from the SCF. I mean come on. No one thought this team could be that. Go back to Oct, Nov, Dec...no shot.

    Just wow. Who saw this coming. What an awesome ride.

    It would be pretty cool just to see them in the finals again.

    The team bonded and they're playing great. I think they can beat La or Chicago after they sweep MTL
