    Yes. It would have been too much to ask for the band to not have been in the background, playing for Blist talent, and not having the names of the presentors on the screen.

    Surprise, surprise, that a Canuck wins an online fan poll.

    Illitch "snubs" Bettman

    Junior high school girl attitudes is exactly how the NHL is ran though. Well that or like a dysfunctional family at any rate. Bitching to the press doesn't do anything more than air out the dirty laundry that doesn't need to be aired. Plus it also tends to entrench both sides more instead of fixing the problem. Mr. I isn't alone among the owners. He has allies in the political backwardness that is the Board of Governors and the parade of proxies that are sent. The proxies that are often changing make it difficult to set up committees and get things pushed through for approval. And as I said before, I think their dislike goes back to the '94 strike.

    Illitch "snubs" Bettman

    I don't think Mr. I has liked Bettman since the first work stoppage. Off-ice vs on-ice tradition. +1

    The injury thread

    Now that the playoffs are over... how long until we find out about who was hurt?

    Marian Hossa, merged

    Because the other superstars are busy playing defense against the two headed monster while Hossa skated behind the net to the corner, pulled a Sammy, and gave the puck away.

    What are your feelings on that Icing goal?

    Start to finish, this season's reffing has been horrible. The fact that the playoffs looked precap only add to it as well.

    Marian Hossa, merged

    Read my sig. Kinda ironic. Possible if he signs a long term deal, but I don't like the idea of having soo many tied up for so long.

    The injury thread

    No, doesn't even have to be cup final related for that matter. Injuries didn't cost us a damn thing this run.

    The injury thread

    I'm more just curious. The offseason is when the veil gets lifted a little bit and we learn that a "lower body injury" can mean anything from a broken foot to dislocated shoulder.

    Next Season: Who will be on the roster?

    Likely some more time in the NHL for the Griffins, but I doubt more than two forwards will be swapped out next year.

    Marian Hossa, merged

    If he was hurt enough to be that ineffective, then yes as well as he should have been replaced in the lineup.
