The opening game of the NHL's Western Conference final was no contest.
The Detroit Red Wings continued to roll, winning their seventh straight game, in ripping the Dallas Stars 4-1 Thursday night.
As if they didn't already have enough offensive weapons, the Wings turned what had been an ordinary power play thus far in the post-season into a three-goal flame thrower.
Full story: Red Wings dominant defeating Stars
Can anyone stop the Red Wings this year?

Wayne, your right Malking dies on the play. Your also correct that Syd does not quit, he skates over to the refs and starts to cry.

Umm wow do they ACTUALLY monitor these boards.
I can't always be on and respond to every single comment everyday cause i have other things to actualyl worry about than to throw whatever comments at anybody.
Detroit in seven is my predication. If I'm wrong oh well I won't loose any sleep over it. I just hope that Detroit wins.

You are confused, its Malkin that quits after he is checked not Crosby.
Malkin has taken the 2 games off in Detroit just like he did the 2 road games in Philly.
Maybe if Malkin the typical russian puck hog starts to pass it instead of being a hero every time he gets it and try to deke out all 5 Red Wings he might get more than the 1 shot he had on net last night.
Malkin is a choker, he should sign with the Oilers, that way he wont have to play in the playoffs cuz they wont make it for years and years lol.

A hockey fan, 2008-05-26 16:00:27. How come you have not responded to the comment about Sean Avery. Your the same fan that stated he should be in jail for waving his hands in front of the goalie like most criminals would be. At least this time you got the team correct. It won't go seven, five at best, depends how the league and by association the refs call the game. The true Penguins came out last nite. Syd crying, Malkin turtling when not jumping players from behind, Roberts sucker punching, Talbot just being the A-hole he is etc. etc. And they are comparing these idiots to the Oilers of 83. We'll see next year, my prediction is they don't even make it past the semi-finals next year. Hey DisgruntledFan, thats another prediction for ya.

Detroit in Seven

Bang and rock Crosby around with a few good body checks and he's done...simple.
The Penguins need him for almost everything. They didn't look so great agaist Detroit.
anyhow Detroit should win in Game . It's going to be tight if Pittsburg smartens up

Wayne, oh Wayne, are you there? Your boy looked less than average the other nite. Don't have much too say now, do you loud mouth.

You are an idiot. Crosby is the 3rd or 4th best? He is the best and will only get better.
You are a band wagon jumper no doubt, started the year off probably cheering for Boston or some other loser team and then jumped on the Red Wings wagon after they made it to the finals.
I bet you change teams every year.

I'm glad to see Crosby do so well for a local (that is, Cole Harbour) lad, but unfortunalely it has become an extreme case of "hero worship", something that rubs this long time hockey (and sports) fan the wrong way. I've admired the Red Wings' organization for many years, and I must admit I'm pulling for that Original Six team - the N.H.L. I grew up with - to win Lord Stanley's Cup.
