Doc Holliday

First thought that came to mind was Doug Brown. I'm so smart.

*Credit to Drake for the idea*

Personally I have a feeling about Jimmy that he is going to rock the Casbah in the playoffs. He has been money all season and he has one of the best playoff goaltenders helping him out every step of the way. Hell yes.

Crosby has an empty net goal dere, Gordie.

Unless Nostradamus is a Wings fan I would assume Phoenix fans. Like I said the MAJORITY have been sold, so I would think there are maybe 1k tickets (from scalpers or whomever) that will be sold from now till the start of the series.

The majority of tickets have been sold so the amount of Wings fans at the building won't be as high as previous games. Should be a good percentage though.

Guys, Yooper is obviously a Hakws troll. Let him sulk by himself.

Weak defensive coverage on the goal. This is a pretty boring game considering the Wings are trying to skate through 3 Hawk sticks in the offensive zone.

What school?

Pens in five seems fair. Sens aren't as bad as they were in 08 but not good enough to make much of a series of it.

I personally hope Ovi wins it but what a year for Stamkos. This kid is going to be a force in the NHL for years to come.

Well the good news is the Kings are a point back on the Wings. If the Wings win against Chicago they clinch 5th. Wooooo.

Edmonton is so bad. Had a 5 on 3 for half a minute and didn't even register a shot. Tie game now.

Considering it is arguable that Bourque, Harvey, and Shore are better than Lidstrom, there is no way you can even consider Lids and Orr to be at the same skillset. Not ******* possible. Bobby Orr was the best at both ends of the ice. He was arguably the most dominant PLAYER to play the game. Nobody even comes close.

Why do people think it doesn't matter when the higher seed you are the more likely you are going to face a weaker team? I would prefer a 3-6 matchup over a 4-5 matchup.

Fair enough. I figured that listing the seeding possibilities for each team would mean that you were trying to show where they would end up, since you already mentioned that the Wings won't be playing Chicago.

Why do people keep forgetting about the Kings?

Why? Howard needs to be playoff ready. Going into the playoffs right after playing against the Hawks would be a perfect warmup.

That part was LOL-tastic.

Read what I said. The term is asinine (also pathetic) which has nothing to do with tolerance.

Well I'm not going to be silly and say that Crosby's statement caused the goal to be changed, but it is still classy that he said "hey, it wasn't mine" even though it would have been his first 50 goal season of his career. There is nothing to hate on that move.

And I'm not even going to bother posting the numerous incidents Ovechkin has been in trouble for (and I love Ovechkin). You people are completely asinine in your hate for Crosby. It is borderline pathetic. It was classy for Crosby to go out of his way to tell people it his Guerin. He could have said nothing and just let it be, but he wanted to make sure the right player was given the goal. If a Wing captain did the same thing they would be heralded on this board for being such a classy move. But because Sid the Diving Whining Cheapshotting, no Defensive talent, Douchebag did it there has to be SOMETHING to discredit what he did. Just something. Hate him or not, that is a classy move for any player.

Preds have the tie-breaker. The Preds now can get to a max of 100 pts. For the Wings to pass they need to get 101. That means a record of 1-0-1 to finish the season. If they beat Columbus and take Chicago to OT (or visa versa) then they will get fifth place. Assuming the Kings don't win 2 of their last 3 games.

Of course they did.
