Louisville

Don't know if anyone caught Melrose on ESPN the other night but he thinks Datsyuk will lead the NHL playoffs in scoring.

Dear Mikael Samuelson, The puck is also used for passing. Love, Louisville

That central divisipn excuse is always golden. I wouldn't get worked up about the smack talk though, it's the playoffs and guys are going to do it up until the finals.

Bucci explains why the playoffs are so great, and what teams are in store for.... He also picks the Red Wings in 7...Enjoy! Key comments:

Good for Burnside, but he is still a douchebag.

That is awesome. I love the print a lot. Thanks for the hard work we know you put into it.

Just to add my two cents, I think Cheechoo is completely overrated. Thornton, Marleau, Guerin will be the Sharks biggest threats. In that order. Of course, Cheechoo may score the odd goal from a crisp Thornton pass. I would not want to face the goalie in the winner of this series....

Link didn't work for me...

Those guys scare me a mile away compared to Iginla. He's a proven force anytime in hockey, playoffs or not, he's their capitan and arguably their hardest worker. I think if Lidstrom, his paired d-man, and Hasek can shut down their first line, the team can do the rest. A lot of this teams hope relies on Hasek and the defense. We have a capable offense to win the close games. Langkow, Huslius, Tanguay, Moss are decent goal scorers, but I'd be more worried about defensive play if I was Calgary. I think a lot of these games will be one goal games, some unfortunately, decided by officiating.....

TSN LOL....Discuss

That was great

Thanks for painting that picture for us. All I have to say on this deal, is please please please produce in the playoffs.....

FSN said so during the game, as did that DetNews article above. I'd trust that more than anything NHL.com or TSN has to say.

Would have been nice to see Flip after Datsyuk, but nooooooo

lol @ Sammy

Datsyuk couldn't buy a goal.

We should seriously consider pulling Osgood

Yeah baby!

WHA!!!

LETS..GO..RED WINGS!

Maybe it's just a bad equipment issue....

NICE goal Homer!

Don't feed the fire. Anything remotely mentioning Bertuzzi is automatic invitation for Draperfan to be a douchebag.

Don't know if it's been said yet but Martin Brodeur set the wins record tonight. Chicago is just trapping, lame.
