How do Fleury's numbers and achievements to this point in his career compare to some of his peers? Is he the second coming of Martin Brodeur, or just another product of the French-Canadian goalie factory? Look at the numbers and judge for yourself.

As few as four and as many as 7 games for whole summer?? Sad, but all good things come to an end. Enjoy a nice break from all the Pens-Wings blah-blah-blubbering from the MSM and listen here: Wed, 21 May 2008 21:18:28 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/269530 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/269530 With the Conference Finals set to start, FIO staff writer Greg Gibeault provides a concise preview of those teams fighting to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Can Mike Richards and the Flyers slow down Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins? Can Marty Turco shut down Henrik Zetterberg and the Red Wings attack?

Who were the key players and difference makers? Was I able to do a little better with my predictions after a disappointing first round? Have clear favorites emerged in each conference? Wed, 07 May 2008 08:49:05 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/264210 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/264210 Well, I did awful last round. I went 1-3, only getting Detroit correct. I won't let that discourage me, however, because now I don't have any favorite teams or players that will sway my picks. WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS Detroit Red Wings vs. Dallas Stars Dallas has clawed and scrapped their way all the way to the conference finals and it hasn't been an easy journey needless to say. Now to be the best they'll have to beat the best. Detroit is coming off a series where they obliterated the Avalanche. This should be more interesting than Detroit's previous series and this should be a real test of their skills when they go up against the red hot Marty Turco. If any of you missed that 7 period slug fest last night, you may want to go watch some of the highlights. However, as hot as Dallas may be, Detroit is Detroit. I have the Wings taking it in 6. EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers I didn't pick the Flyers, but I did say they had a great chance to make it. They're here now, and now they have to try and take out the NHL's golden boy. The Penguins made Vezina hopeful Henrik Lundqvist look silly last series and the Pens will look to stay hot. What it will come down to is offense. By that I mean the Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and the rest of the Penguins offense is so potent that I'm not really giving Philly a shot. But look on the bright side, Philly fans, I haven't picked you to win yet and you've kept winning. So, I guess it's good that I'm not picking the Flyers? I think that made sense. Anyways, I have the Penguins taking it in 5. If all goes to plan, the NHL will have Sid the Kid in the Cup finals. We'll see if Gary Bettman's cash cow can go the distance. This should be two great series.

One this is for certain, the Stars are in trouble! Some might find this statement a little strange concidering the Sharks are the team facing elimination, but that has been the reality for some time now. On the other hand, the Stars have been in the drivers seat all series, and for the first time on Sunday we will get to see how they play with a little pressure and the realization that a loss means their season could well be over. For certain, the Stars need to finish this series in Big D, cause going back to San Jose for game 7 is not a good idea.

The Sharks defeated the Stars 3-2 in OT to force game 6 back in Dallas, and in the process made a little history too! Sometimes you have this eerie feeling that something special is going to happen, and this was true on Friday night in the Shark Tank. Just 1:05 into the extra period Joe Pavelski refused to give up ......... keep reading at MVN.

(Runs 20.5mins) Topics: * Why are the Wings and Pens are so dominant? * How the class nerd is a lot like Dallas -- identity=victory! * Is Price the issue in Montreal, or is Philly just a good team?

They also have to feel great about the play of the goalie Marty Turco. He is one of the biggest reasons they are where they are. In only 2 games this postseason Turco has let up more than 2 goals, both loses to defending champion Anaheim. Also to go along with his 1.86 goals against average and .921 save percentage in this years postseason, both teams that have played the Stars have had a extremely tough time when Turco has been handling the puck. He is playing like a third defensemen on break outs out of their zone and Turco's offensive skills have helped him on the defensive side of his game because the Sharks are having a tough time keeping the puck in the zone on dump ins cause of the great puck movement from Turco.

The one thing I wasn't expecting, was how well the Dallas Stars would be playing. Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:46:00 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/260340 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/260340 I am going to make this short and sweet! Both hockey teams come into this series on a high note. The Sharks were able to stave off elimination and kill off their playoff demons against a physical and tenacious hockey team in the Calgary Flames. The Stars just eliminated the Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks. While I do give them credit and respect for that accomplishment, Anaheim is not the same team with the same drive and hunger as it was last season, and are a perfect example of why it is so hard to repeat a run to the cup in the NHL. Nevertheless, the are the Champs, so Dallas deserves credit.
