The East is awful. The gap between the two conferences has never been bigger. This is my take on the top 15 teams in the league. Of course, my opinion is not gospel but this my honest ranking of teams in terms of their Cup chances based solely on their ability (disregarding standings). Detroit San Jose Anaheim Pittsburgh Dallas New Jersey Colorado Minnesota Calgary Montreal New York Rangers Nashville Chicago Vancouver Ottawa Three of the top 10 teams in the league are in the East. That's pretty pathetic. The bottom three are pretty close and could easily be changed around.

Yeah like the Giants this year or the Steelers a few years ago.

What a shame. Will the Preds ever win a playoff series?

His numbers are correct, the NHL standings stats do include SO goals.

Thanks for the update. God I really HATE it when I miss a game. Even one out of 82 is too many!!

You mean the Jennings?

Hi kids, I didn't get to see this game and probably won't get to later on. What happened? Were we good or bad? Did we deserve to win it? Were we lucky?

Too many passengers on this team right now. That last 4 on 1 just summed it up. No urgency shown from Hudler or Fil at all. They just sat back and hoped Ozzie would bail them out.

That Byfuglien isn't a bad player. Especially for someone who has 'FUGLI' in the middle of his name.

Regardless, he won't see any action unless Huet gets injured. Kolzig's last playoff appearance was 2001 also.

Either is possible but 3rd is more probable.

Isn't Huet in net?

Same. Let's go Caps!

Carolina vs. Washington = HUGE!

That's not funny. Seriously, now I'll need a whole pack of q-tips to clear the blood and brain dripping from my ears.

It wasn't 5 minutes, we were down 2-0 with less than a minute to go. I think it was Draper who scored our first goal of the game with the extra attacker and then another was scored with 3 secs left to tie the game. It was awesome.

Yeah I get the impression you're a bball fan.

Legace doesn't have to keep a backup chest protector in case of wear and tear if Sammy isn't playing.

Stupid penalty by Turco. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. I can't believe Modano didn't get that shortie. Nabokov did well with zero help from Roenick and Thornton.

So what if a team in the Q is hosting the Memorial Cup finals (which is what is happening next year I believe)? Does that mean the other two teams from the O and W can't fight??

Why would he be offended by that?

I'd prefer to play Colarodo because Fersborg will get owned by Dutsyak and MDac will make a turtle out of that Merak Svotas.

Do you like basketball, SWF?

Agreed.
