    Canucks' postseason hopes have taken a hit.

    His wife is from Florida, thus a US citizen. The pregnancy is/was a complicated one. There is alot that can go horribly wrong quickly. If she had to be put on bed rest (shudder) I sure as hell would rather her be with family instead of in Vancouver. I've worked with many men that have been forced to be away from their families when their children were born. Sometimes they haven't been able to hold them until after a birthday has passed. It's a moment I've been twice blessed and fortunate not to have missed. Hockey is a game... families are forever.

    How far will we make it this year?

    Well, the furthest team from Detroit is Anaheim I believe so I'm guessing that is the farthest they have to go. Edit: wait... we weren't talking travel were we. oops

    Will the ducks get their wings clipped?

    I'm more in favor of return to 2 divisions per conference and playing within your division first round. *middle odd team out escaping to middle off team of other division.

    Can you get fined for a dive if they called a penalty?

    Didn't the league have a bad boy list a few years back (I wanna say 99-2k ish) with known divers that the league was keeping an eye on? I remember Floppa and Kariya being mentioned but nothing coming of it.

    The Fight Thread

    San Jose/Phoenix... Carcillo goofs on a breakaway while Weller and Murray have a go. Weller doesn't take his lid off to match Murray being without with ample time to do so. Weller gets an early edge landing a few before hugging of dear life. Murray spends most of his time trying to get free, trying to get Weller's helmet off, or punching the back of the head. Best part though was that Carcillo saying to Gretzky that it wasn't me in a fight!

    No-touch icing.

    What sucks more, an early whistle or a stretcher? A question to the LGW oldtimers old guys... has contact other than the exceptionally bad ever been called regularly on an icing race?

    No-touch icing.

    Are you against boarding?
  15. vangvace

    No-touch icing.

    lazy D = exciting play. I see less icings and more dump-ins going to the other blue-line. How many hits to the head result in injury? Injuries from boarding? One is too many. I wonder how many other how manys I can pull out of my nether-regions? That does sound like a good best of both worlds type of fit. I think that more puck handling goalies (along with romoving the trapazoid) would greatly negate the advantage of icing on the PK.

    Could we See Crosby vs Ovechkin in Round 1?

    NHL vs. NBA attendance

    Wow... little pent up still huh?

    San Jose is scaring me

    I'd say the top two in the league come out of the west, but so are 6 of the bottom 10. IMO the West has more have/have-not teams whereas the east has more parity throughout. Add into it that the East has won 3 of the last four cups... But to shoot my own opinion in the foot... 6 teams have winning records in the east vs the west. 10 teams having a winning record in the west vs the east. Only Chicago has a losing record vs the east.
