Fair point. I live in the Buffalo Bills general territory. Bills fans, and people in Cleveland can talk to me about pain as sports fans. But, yeah Cubbies fans, too. Plenty of misery to go around!

If CGY and MIN advance to the WCF, Calgary will have home ice advantage right? Pretty crazy to think about.

I don't think so.
From NHL.com:
Playoff Format
16 teams will qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The format is a set bracket that is largely division-based with wild cards.
The top three teams in each division will make up the first 12 teams in the playoffs. The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference, based on regular-season record and regardless of division. It is possible for one division in each conference to send five teams to the postseason while the other sends just three.
In the First Round, the division winner with the best record in each conference will be matched against the wild-card team with the lesser record; the wild card team with the better record will play the other division winner.
The teams finishing second and third in each division will meet in the First Round within the bracket headed by their respective division winners. First-round winners within each bracket play one another in the Second Round to determine the four participants in the Conference Finals.
Home-ice advantage through the first two rounds goes to the team that placed higher in the regular-season standings. In the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final, home-ice advantage goes to the team that had the better regular-season record -- regardless of the teams' final standing in their respective divisions.

Wild finished with 100 points, Calgary 97.

This series will be tight. Every game will probably be close. I want to see the Wild in 6.

Jeez Wild are getting pumped. Playing with the big boys now?
I think I'm going to call it quits on this one.

Spoke to soon, suddenly it's a game. Parise is one good player. Not afraid to take abuse to lead to scoring chances.

Total goals in two Eastern Conference games = 6 (in 7+ periods)
Total goals in two Western Conference games = 13 and counting

Is it just me or is the way Emrick pronounces Granlund insanely irritating?

I loved it when Bob Cole called them the North Stars by mistake.

Truly it is hard to blame Crawford OR Darling when they have to have a pylon or two as immobile as Rozival and Timmonen...those 2 should both be in the press box for ANY of the rooks that we can trot out.
Teraveinen's GWG was SOFT! Dubnyk cannot let that one by...soft flip, glove side, no screen.

Dubnyk won't be that bad again. MIN has got this.

Except for 1 shift, it appeared that the 'Hawks had the puck more in the 1st, however, the Wild d-zone coverage denied any really good looks...
Dubnyk seemed sharp on shots, however, he was really shaky when he came out of the crease to handle the puck.
