So much pressure from the Wild....... I worry about the one mistake that causes a counter-attack for the Avs

Theodore bailing out the Avs so far

I swear if I didn't know any better I would think that Fedoruk was a top 6 forward

OK this PP sucks so far

I can understand if people logged off out of disgust........ that was a monumental 9 second collapse BUT in my opinion........... there is no better therapy for a Wings loss than a Colorado loss......... go Wild PP!!!

Go Wild!! Where's the LNC?

*crickets* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I have $700 on this series........ ROLSTON!!!!!!!

Unreal game, Cujo was awesome

Clutch glove save there by Lundquist....... wow!

Hold on to that thought guys........ 3-1 Pens

Nice to be able to see Ovechkin AND Crosby at the same time

Those of you who know what it's about don't need an explanation...... It was hella (yes, hella) fun last year with all those crazy Vancouver/Dallas games, let's hope we have a few this year (I'm looking at you SJ/CGY) Cheers :beerbuddy:

Detroit 4 Nashville 2 Calgary4 San Jose 3 Minnesota 4 Colorado 1 Annaheim 4 Dallas 0 Montreal 4 Boston 1 Pittsburgh 4 Ottawa 2 Washington 4 Philly 2 New York 4 New Jersery 2

OK, it is that time of year again when team's either clinch or are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. In the spirit of the season I will be providing a write-up as to the reasons why I think that team failed. I hope to keep them fun and entertaining Disclaimer: These are my opinions, you may not hold the same opinion and although you are wrong are free to debate the reasons why I think the team was destined for failure this year. Coming soon to a forum near you..... The LA Kings!!

Edmonton Oilers: Well I must say that you are probably one of the most exciting teams to watch. You have unreal youth talent and your team can be really dangerous in terms of goal scoring in the next few years, I would put you guys in my top 5 favorite teams to watch easily as you have a guy who likes to fight as well. What a run you tried to make, I would've never guessed that you would've lucked out of not finishing in the bottom five this year and giving the Ducks a great chance at a Stamkos like player, thank you for that. However, the last two years have proved how bad your management is, some of the moves you have made/attempted boggle my mind and seem to piss everyone off. Also, after your youth there is absolutely nothing to be happy about. Your team is no where as good as you will finish in the standings, if it were not for Garon, Gagner, Nilson, etc. and their unreal performances in the shootout you would basically be the LA Kings.

Huge game tonight, I think Washington runs the table and gets 3rd

Phoenix Coyotes: For the better part of the season it looked like you guys were going to make the playoffs as there were some players who were playing well above expectations and you do have some bright spots on your team such as Mueller. Where are your difference makers and all-stars? If you are going to go anywhere in the NHL a team is going to need at least one player that can take a team on their back and win them some games.

I like a lot of these picks but I'm going to play devil's advocate on those who put Coffey on their top ten list. Sure he was probably the second best offensive defensemen of all time and a definite HoF player, but was he really that good in Detroit? I remember thinking that he was somewhat of a liability on defense compared to some of the other D men that played with him.

Florida Panthers: With the annual last place (or close to) finishes that your team has had in recent years you have been able to get some good young players (Horton, Weiss, Bouwmeester) with high draft picks, unfortunately none of them have really turned out to be superstars with the exception of one....... he played goal......... you traded him away, I think this trade shows why you are out of the playoffs again, even though you seem to have two very capable goalies when you face the second most shots in the league it is going to be hard for any team to win.

Columbus Blue Jackets: Not much has changed for you guys since you joined the NHL.... you sucked back then and you still suck now. There are very few things to get excited about being a Blue Jacket, rumour has it that Foote had a private jet ready on trade deadline day so that he could make Colorado's game THAT night! I don't think it looks good when the person you decided should be considered the leader of your team wants to get the hell out of there. Sure you have Rick Nash and Pascal Leclaire but there are so many pieces missing to this puzzle. I don't think I can think of a more incomplete team in the league.

You're right....... I will 1. Yzerman 2. Howe 3. Sawchuk 4. Lidstrom 5. Lindsay 6. Delvecchio 7. Abel 8. Kelly 9. Ullman 10. Fedorov

Toronto Maple Leafs: I feel sorry for you guys, so much false hope amongst your fans. When I watch TSN I can still hear about how the Leafs might make the playoffs. "Will the league review the offside goal and keep the Leafs playoff hopes alive?" I mean come on! We already watched an interview with Mats Sundin's dog around trade deadline day to see what the status of his no trade claus was. The Maple Leafs are a joke, and it is so sad to see a team with the history it has turn out to be the team they are. It is impossible to get Leafs tickets and I don't know why since they haven't been good since they can't pour money into over the hill players who might have a resurgence. Fans in Toronto should stop going to the games and send the owners of MLSE or whatever the hell it is a message. I am quite confident that a monkey can do a better job of running the Maple Leafs. What the hell was JFJ thinking giving out all those no trade clauses? That is basically suicide, I mean look how good the Leafs did on trade deadline day. They gave away their most entertaining interview guy in Wade Belak and got absolutely nothing in return. I was really hoping that you guys would make a run like you did last year and give us the most entertaining end of the season games and ruin your chances at getting a good draft pick. I don't know what it is but you guys always seem to do whatever you have to in order to mess up the team, like trying to make a run this year and ruining your chances at getting a high draft pick. I think your season was summed up pretty good with that goal that was scored on Toskala.

Man Dats looks good tonight

boo urns

Wow wrong guy to turn over the puck to Jackman
