Phoenix advances to the Western Conference Final to face LA

The Western Conference Finals is now officially Phoenix vs. Los Angeles. That should be interesting because they both have teams. However, I think LA has an advantage because not only do they have an amazing goalie, but they have fantastic offence. Phoenix lacks in offence, (don't say "what about Doan?") but their strong defencemen and goalie make up for it. This should be an exciting series because both teams eliminated their opposition last round with 1 or less loss. I'm looking for this series to get to Game 7.

Notes of the Day.

• Lightning D man Mattias Ohlund may be forced to retire after his surgery,
• Ryan Kesler had surrgery today for his seperated shoulder. Recovery time is six months.
• Blackhawks assistant coach Mike Haviland has been fired.
