In the good old days you'd always see several scraps/intense hockey as teams fight (literally) for their playoff lives 2) The skill level has undoubtedly increased with the flood of Europeans, but so has the intensity level waned as a result.

He is on the way to the Conn Smyth and Pittsburgh is on their way to the CUP. I cannot see Philly's defense stopping these guys. The Malone/Malkin/Sykora line reminds me of the Devs "A" line circa 2000-2001 playoffs. They are unstoppable. Not to mention a second line center named Sidney. The Flyers will take to many penalties and the Pens will capitalize. In the west, that hit Brendan Morrow leveled the Shark with reminded me of Scott Stevens. IF Dallas can stop "the Mule", I think they can take Detroit. Lets face it, the AVS played like dogs. Dallas will be a much different opponent than Colorodo. It is Turco's time to rise. In the end, I am not sure Malkin can be stopped.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('17462','Randy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('17462','Randy','Malkin is a beast.

I mean, it sucks the Devils got eliminated in the 1st (and by the RANGERS) and I was absolutely devastated for a few days, but after I got over it I started enjoying watching the rest of the games. Oh, and I can't really understand how a Devils fan can hate Detroit, Dallas or even Pittsburgh more than Philly. Rangers and Fyers are our #1 enemies, after all. Right now I only care about the Flyers losing, that's all I'm asking for. And may the best team win the Cup (Dallas would be cool, but I won't cry if they lose). Oh, and when it comes to the level of play, I don't find it any worse. Last year's playoffs sucked totally IMO, only one 7-game series, zero excitement. But this year we've already had some pretty good games and tight series. I think you're being too negative, Joe. :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('17445','Revan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('17445','Revan','Maybe I\'m strange, but I\'m enjoying these playoffs just like any other.
