You may have just jinxed yourself.

Come on Preds and Flames, stretch your series out as long as you can. They're really entertaining, and besides I want every other team in the West to be as beat up as possible in the possible maybe perhaps scenario (no predictions/knock on wood) that the Ducks play any of them.

Edit: Uhhh, the Preds game is supposed to be on NBC, but here in DC NBC is showing golf... what's the deal?? Golf??? It's the Verizon Heritage, not even a big deal (as far as I know, and that's not much when it comes to golf). Come on, NBC! Gimme some playoff hockey!

And it may be but, seeing how easy the Central is, shouldn't this have been a cakewalk for Detroit? Nashville is matching them stride for stride so far in the first.

Just noticed this:

Nashville captain Jason Arnott was diagnosed with a concussion and missed his second straight playoff game Sunday.

The Predators entered the game trailing the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 in the series. General manager David Poile said doctors diagnosed Arnott on Saturday. His injury may have been caused by a teammate's celebration of his Game 3-winning goal.

We're watching the Wings/Preds game just now. Thankfully it's the CBC feed and not that VS crap. Pretty good from a neutral point of view

The Wings have just scored with 6.06 left in the second.

[Barmy Army]

Detroit has just scored again making it 2-0, goal from Hudler with 16 minutes left in the 3rd.

Just noticed this: ... His injury may have been caused by a teammate's celebration of his Game 3-winning goal.

Yup, after he scored the GWG he jumped up against the glass and his teammates mobbed him. He either hit his head on the glass or on the boards when they all fell down on the ice. Arnott went to the bench and was having trouble, although he gave an interview after the game, he hasn't returned to the team. Talk about bad luck...

FINAL SCORE:

Detroit at Nashville 2-0; Detroit advances. Chelios is even shaking hands

[hillbillywingsfan]

I stand corrected, they scored an EN. I wasn't rooting for Nashville over Detroit or vice-versa. I'm surprised it took Detroit 6 games to put them away given how weak the Central is.

TSN's Ice Chips:

Forward Rob Niedermayer made the trip to Dallas, but was not on the ice for the morning skate. He's been out since Game 2 with a concussion. Niedermayer reportedly worked out with the team last night after they arrived and felt fine. He Worked out again this morning and had some faint headaches so he is not symptom-free. - TSN

Aaron Ward returned to the lineup in Game 6, Andrew Alberts was a healthy scratch. Patrice Bergeron spoke with doctors, but has not yet been cleared for Game 7. - Boston Globe

Defenceman Philippe Boucher will miss the remainder of the series with the Anaheim Ducks after sufferring a strained hip in Game 3. He will be re-evaluted in a week. Defencemen Stephane Robidas broke his nose in Game 5. - Dallas Morning News

Joel Lundqvist did not skate for the Stars on Sunday. His wife Amanda went into labor this morning with their first child. Coach Dave Tippett is hopefull he will play tonight. - TSN

Nick Schultz was back in the Wild lineup in Game 6 against Colorado, he had an emergency appendectomy less than two weeks ago. - TSN

David Legwand will be a game-time decision and Jason Arnott is doubtful for Game 6 against the Wings. - Detroit Free Press

Forward Mike Knuble will miss the rest of the series, and possibly the postseasno, with a hamstring injury. - Philadelphia Inquirer

Gary Roberts is day-to-day with a sore groin. - Post Gazette

Sharks defenseman Kyle McLaren struggled to get off the ice in his first shift of the second period Thursday night in Game 5 at HP Pavilion. He did not return after that. Sharks coach Ron Wilson would only say that McLaren is suffering from a "lower-body injury." - Mercury News

ahhh you can't say that DK. you know how the playoffs are. being a ducks fan. and we have struggled with nashville forever now. even in the reg season. they have our number just like the blackcawks.

Fish fry eh? Does that mean if the Sharkies make to the 2nd (hope not) they get the Wings?

I don't follow either team close enough to know that. I do remember Chicago beating Detroit a couple of times, but before the season even started I picked Detroit as the first division winner given the weak Central.

[GLOVESAVE35]

Flamers up 1-0 after one.

Time for everyone to join the Flames' quest to keep the Sharks away from the second round.

Hah, the Sharks never get past the first round it seems. Except last year. But Detroit killed them in that series.
