    I got chills on more than one occasion. Great documentary and epic chapter in hockey's history.
    melmac and I were also watching it last night. Espo is a classic!

      Where the heck was this Elliott when the Sharks were playing him? That's like the 8th weak 5 hole goal to go in this series. Sweet Jeepers the Kings are making the Blues look terrible.

        I blame Marleau.

          Based on Bradley-Terry rankings (i.e., KRACH) found here, the updated (after 5/5, old KRACH) most likely outcomes are:

          West: LAK in 4 (42.5%), PHX in 5 (47.3%)
          East: NYR in 6 (37.2%), PHI in 7 (22.4%)

          Overall winning probabilities:
          West
          STL 10.9% - LAK 89.1%
          PHX 85.4% - NSH 14.6%

          East
          NYR 66.2% - WAS 33.8%
          PHI 39.0% - NJD 61.0%

          As always, KRACH is not a perfect predictive system. In fact, it's not predictive at all; it's retrodictive. Home-ice advantage, momentum, and the like can not be accounted for reliably, so they are ignored.

          Remarks: Every series is supposed to last a different number of games. Also, I hate the Kings.

          Next Round possibilities:

                Sigh. I hate that we got beat at our own game, and that they managed to rattle us early and we just fell apart. If we'd won this series I was fairly confident we could beat anyone, except maybe Nashville...what if.

                Amazing season though, way exceeded many expectations, and gives us tons of good stuff to build on for next year.

                  And they did so in pretty good fashion. Of course we are seeing lower seeds playing well against their respective opponents; case and point would be washington vs the bruins and the rangers. Overall, it makes for exciting hockey. Had you told me back in march that it would be LA, Pheonix, washington and NJ making a serious push, I would have doubted you.

                  As for NJ, they are still causing philly fits. They aren't winning the same way when they had stevens, but its certainly more exciting than they used to play.

                      Philly might have just ended their season if giroux gets any number of games for that one. But given how inconsistent these calls have been, its nearly impossible to tell what action might follow if any

                          Remarks: balls balls balls balls balls. Also, the first series is over, and the numbers lie about the Kings. In other news, the "underdog" by KRACH is favored in 3 of 4 series, with the other essentially down to a best-of-3. As before, there will be a round wrap-up when the semis are over.

                            Assuming this is true and goes through, there probably isn't a better option for turning the franchise around financially, given the success he had with the Sharks setup in a non-traditional market.

                                I wonder if they'll make a go of the Desert, or if Jamison has the same movement clause that the Supersonics had... Perform a "good faith" effort in the desert, and then move it wherever the hell you want.
