Little heavy on the East. Ever hear of the Western Conference?

[IceHockeySource]

Sorry I didn't mean to not show Western Conference... I was just going through and trying to find what I thought were the best clips. I did focus heavily on the Phili/Caps series at the end only 'cause it seemed to wrap up round 1 really well and it was the last time we would get to see Ovechkin this season. I really didn't notice I left out the West until I uploaded the video to Youtube haha.

I just posted the Round 2 video, and I tried to focus equally on all the teams that were playing.

[hockeyrules1212]

do a round 2 video!

[IceHockeySource]

I'm workin' on it :)

[moepperle]

whats the songs name?

[IceHockeySource]

The song is "Kings & Queens" by Luna Halo

... It's not my favorite song in the world... but it just seemed like it fit really well with the video.

[AOforCapsO]

i think the caps vs flyers was the most intense series of the quarterfinals

[AMFCode278]

Thats because Detroit is the most successfull AMERICAN team in NHL history

[INDLIS]

@grossidiot:So far the Sharks had managed to take them out of the playoffs at least 3 times.

[bishoppx]

@grossidiot LMAO. The league is heavily against the Wings, dude. Detroit gets the most bullshit calls against them all the time.

[bishoppx]

@AMFCode278 They're the most successful team in the NHL overall.

@fevercity east>west

[honeybobkins]

Someone's team didn't do too good last season. Seriously dude? Crosby and Ovie are good but Crosby can suck my dick, personally I hate the little pussy. Detroit would never let Crosby on the team, mabye Ovechkin but even without the star players you'll always hear about us and the good players. Seriously quit crying, everybody'll always hate the best and the best will always be talked about. Go home grossidiot.

[grossidiot]

If the league had their way Detroit would win every year and they would have Ovechkin and Crosby on the team. I have to push mute when listening to the games because all they talk about is Detroit, Crosby and Ovechkin.

I am sick of announcers getting off on Detroit during the games.

Detroit "ohhhhhh uhhhhhh uh"

Crosby 'god yeah that feels good"

Ovechkin "ohhhohhohohohohohhooooooh"

Crosby and Ovechkin playing on Detroit (head blows of after enormous orgasm)

Crazy save by nabby,theoo and huet

[Philliefakeout]
