Worse than that, it's a Bettman Kihn-spiracy! The Ducks are in jeopardy, baby. Wooooooo-oooo-ooo-ooooooooooooooo....

The writers have to give him something if they're loathe to give the Hart to a complete player. If this is going to turn into a dating thread, you should probably take it to Between Periods.

The Toronto Sports Network's Reporters panel this morning said the Canucks will win the west if the Sharks are knocked out in this round. I guess primarily because Luongo made the Blues look like a team that didn't belong in the playoffs. Seems scant few in Canada's Media Hub have learned the lessons from 2008 and still think we have Todd Gill, Manny Legace and Ray Whitney stinking it up every year in the playoffs.

Umm, Mr. Hitchcock? It was pretty obvious... I look forward to Nash and Mason suiting up for Canada in a few days.

Draper should be giving advice to his teammates about faceoffs tonight...

A week between now and the second round would go a long way to healing Oz.

I don't care what happens in SJ/Ana tonight, but I really want to see some "message sending" that results in nothing less than a 40 game suspension for Pronger.

Kenny's signings have made me change a bit of my stance on this. In a non cap/luxury tax world, do we get Zetterberg and Franzen for these long-term brilliant discounts? I don't think so. It's probably a good thing for the competitive balance of the league (or at least the appearance of it) that we don't get everything we want.

They have roughly 1,489 RFAs and UFAs to sort out this year. If they fire him, they're in a bigger mess than they are now. If I'm the Habs president, I give him one more offseason to see if he can't fix this.

Ver-beauty with three points in that outburst. Inspiration from being named one of the three Calder Trophy finalists?

No, because Eric Lindros is still at 55.

Say 'Hi' to David Backes' wife for me.

Why fight Lucic now? All Komisarek wanted to do was facewash him for games one and two...

Glad I have Shaw Cable with TSN 2 and didn't cater to Ted "I want the NFL in Canada and charge people $900 for pre-season games" Rogers and his stupid crappy digital provider. Like Dano said above, I would think most neutral fans would think this series is boring, largely because Columbus just isn't in it. You can just see when they switch over to James Duthie in the intermissions he's almost embarrassed to be on the station that's show this game first. What neutral fan wants to watch complete and total domination when they can watch Marty Brodeur flop around, give up a goal with 0.2 seconds left and slam his stick around? This won't be a problem in the second round because there'll be half the options of other teams to show instead of the Wings.

Temporary Wiki editing can be a hilarious thing to do when yer drunk. Not that I've ever done it. Here's the one with Ozzie, Pasha and Nick on the top: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=285460137 Here's one with "Your Mom" as the greatest NHL player: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=285453117

Because they added Brian Campbell, the best acquisition at the trade deadline, and were much hotter going into the last few weeks of the season. A lot of people outside of LGW were expecting good things from the Sharks.

Leino got robbed!

Do they keep Doug Wilson as GM or so they shuffle someone new into that position?

Do they just sometimes give Hughson the night off and use clips of him from NHL 2009? I want to hear him call somebody "The Duuuude."

Canadian national media: Roberto Luongo, you're awesome. Luongo: Thanks, guys. Any questions? Canadian national media: No, but can we talk about how great you are? Luongo: Sure thing!

3-3 now. Director Kevin Smith is losing his mind Twittering this game: ThatKevinSmith: MOTHER OF GOD! THEY DID IT!!! THEY DID IT!!!! THEY'RE BACK!!! GAME THE f*** ON!!!! LET'S! GO! DEVILS!

Welcome to the (Red Wings) Machine.

If the Wings had Downey on the ice, they'd still have the shutout.

What the hell has happened to the Devils tonight? 37 shots against in the first 40?
