So, in the end, was this all smoke for the media to enhale?

On TSN this morning, they replayed the interview with him saying that Halak was "shaking" and was "scared" during Game 3. That franchise is cursed.

Paul Hunter of Toronto Star picks:

"If You Let Me Stay" - Terence Trent D'Arby.

Phoenix / Glendale would have scooped that one.

Good luck with Jerry Reinsdorf.

30 The number of playoff games with the Club scoring 6 goals. 18 The number of playoff games with the Club scoring more than 6 goals.

Pernell Karl Subban.

People too often look down on sports franchises that go from the outhouse to the penthouse.

"If I Ever" - Red Flag.

All from the Western Conference, all out in the first round. Interesting.

"If I Had a Boat" - Lyle Lovett.

He drank the Gatorade ™ and squirted the water; nice touch. "What do ya make a game?" That was great.

Fewest overtime playoff games, best-of-seven series: 0, (41 times, with first in 1941 vs. Boston). Most road playoff wins, best-of-seven series: 3 (4 times, with the first in 1988 vs. Toronto).

I applaud this move. Now, if someone could only convince Mr. Lindsay to do his autobiography.

"Time Loves a Hero" - Little Feat.

From redwings dot nhl dot calm :

"The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me) (an Evening with Pete King)" - Tom Waits.

From TSN :

"Have You Ever Been Away?" - The Beautiful South.

Dear Mr. Perez: Keep you're ankles taped. Thank you.
