Round Three!
The Conference finals feature two exiting matchups. In the West the Dallas Stars are going to the conference finals for the first time since 2000, when they returned to the Stanley Cup finals the year after winning the franchise's only championship. They face the Detroit Red Wings, who have been resting since finishing a second-round sweep against Colorado.
The Pittsburgh Penguins will meet the Philadelphia Flyers in the first all-Pennsylvania conference final. The teams have a great rivalry, altough they haven't met in the postseason since the Flyers' six-game victory in a 2000 second-round series.

"Goaltending is a normal job. Sure! How would you like it in your job if every time you made a small mistake,
a red light went on over your desk, and 15,000 people stood up and yelled at you?"
