The thing is, the Wings played like garbage and yet they were a bounce here and a bounce there away from winning that series. You can blame puck luck, I blame the team, but in reality it was a combination of both plus health.

My cousin texted me last night during the game saying he might as well jump on the bandwagon. He doesn't watch hockey, but he lives in Phoenix. So yes, they very well may be. Point is, winning teams garner attention, especially in the playoffs. Either way, it's good to see PHX starting to get some support all around.

Awww man, I wanted Smith to get that EN. I'm happy for Phoenix, I really am, they deserve it. Phoenix just f***ed up Nashville....Phoenix...just...f***ed...up...Nashville. Yeah. My mind is officially blown that PHX/LA are in the Conference Final....even though the writing has been on the wall and that is who I was pulling for after the Wings went down.

I vaguely remember Matt's name coming up in reference to something at Capgeek, but had no idea what. I've also never looked at the cap calculator, neat widget. The web developer in me appreciates what went into making that.

That has weak sauce all over it.

It doesn't violate any rules, but Capgeek is no mystery.

I saw the highlights from the first, looked like he was laying the body on too.

I missed the first period, was curious where Johnny E was. I was more concerned that Hank was going to get hurt, he was in the middle of EVERYTHING. I can't find a box score but saw a mention of it earlier....did he get in a fight or what?

Well, well, well, Sweden 2!!!! I didn't know Arnold did play by play.

FYI, you can also go to this page and look at the bottom under 'live channels'. You will have to use a proxy to get access if you are in US though, not sure if Canada is blocked as well. http://www.youtube.com/icehockey

If you're a member of RWL, we're streaming the sweden/norway game right now. However, if you're not a member, we closed registration after regular season.

This is almost too good to be true the way it's playing out.

Haha, that's awesome. It does appear they change up the beers they are serving, so I think it is well suited for playoffs.

With you on Nashville, but that's about all I care for. I can sympathize with the want for Parise/Devils out. Nashville could collapse into the Earth for all I care. And St. Losers can follow them. I kind of want the Caps to win since the Rangers were so good, kind of an underdog vote. Then again, I rooted for the Rangers during most of their games I saw this year. I guess what I'm trying to say is, f*** Nashville and St. Louis.

Kind of like how 'Shanahan' has been inconsistent in his supplemental discipline just like Campbell was. Who woulda thunk?

I prefer numbers in the rafters as opposed to on ice.

Which is why this whole deal was so stupid to being with. Nashville thought he'd help them win, he got out of his ELC. Win/win from both of their perspectives. Well, it was. I'm interested to see if these guys play game 4.

Ours was better

Obvious Babcock is obvious.

Catfish can live out of water for quite some time. IMO it has seemed like all of Nashville's goals have come quite fluky. What was that, the 2nd time, Smith has played the puck and turned it over to only end up in the back of his net? Then the Preds' 2nd goal went off his stick as he tried to stop the pass. I'm not sure the Preds have got a 'real' goal. Of course they all count, but you know what I mean. I didn't get to watch the game but the highlights told a different story than the scoreboard did. I think PHX takes game 4.

John Collins let out a little ticket info in his latest interview with that ****** over at Yahoo... http://sports.yahoo....-163707006.html

Yeah, I think he said that quite some time ago that he was going no matter what. I believe the same thing was said by Malkin. It's because it's in Russia.

LOL, I missed that too. I had a call I had to take.

I didn't catch that part, I don't know.
