I know we just won but it's conference finals time, baby! Another amazing game 7 win by our 'Canes. If we can beat Boston, we can beat any team in the league. I'm ready to see us dominate the Pens. Let's Go Canes!

I wouldnt watch ESPN if I was you. They are going down on the Pengiuns so quick it would make a Hooker blush.

LMAO, good one. I don't watch ESPN. We'll make them eat their words when we shut down Sid I'm just a kid and Malkin for the series and limit them to just 4 goals combined and only 9 points.

They suck at defense and in the last two games we played them they were -2 each with no points in the April game and in the January game they were -1 with a goal and an assist.

So two games -3 rating with 2 points combined.

I've change my prediction after this and I say we sweep them out and shove it in the rest of the Hockey worlds face the Sid sucks at defense and is only a one sided player.

Looking for a good series. We have fery good defensemen who rise to the occasion on taking on "superstars" such as Crosby and Malkin. This wont be a score more goals than the other team like it was for the Pens versus the Caps. They are going to have to play defense. And the canes offense needs to step up just a little.

Canes in 7...again

Penguins and ESPN are in for a rude awakening. They were stretched to the limit by the Flyers and the Caps. Both are good teams, but they have not seen a goalie in either of those series that comes close to Cam Ward right now.

This will be a tough series, but we've already beaten two teams who were better for most of the season. That isn't saying that this will be any easier though.

I could see the series going either way, but I'll predict the Canes in seven.

You are exactly right. If we can beat the Devils and the Bruins, we can beat the Pens. But that doesn't mean it's easier. We are entitled to nothing now that we have beaten the number 1 seed. We have to EARN our spot in the Stanley Cup finals.

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
