Try finding cheap, 30-50 tickets. Can't find 3 together.

I thought this was gonna be 2009 playoff teams. Here's a list of the one's I could find. BTW: "NONE" doesn't necessarily mean the team doesn't have a slogan, I just couldn't locate it. Anaheim: NONE Boston: "We Want It" Calgary: NONE Carolina: "Our Team. Our Time" Chicago: NONE Columbus: "March On" Detroit: "The Beard is Back" Montreal: NONE New Jersey: "Rock Your Red" New York Rangers: "I am a Ranger" Philadelphia: "Hungry for More" Pittsburgh: NONE San Jose: either "23 Men - One Mission " or "This is Shark's Playoff Territory" St. Louis: "The Battle Continues" Vancouver: NONE First off, the worst has to be Columbus. "March on"....are you kidding me? I guess "April On" doesn't have the same ring to it. Or better yet. The Best: San Jose's first one if that's actually it, otherwise Carolina's speaks to me the most. Best wings, Believe Worst: The Beard is back.

As long as its not Stevie, I'm good.

From Abel to Yzerman blog entitled: Here Come the Springtime Experts

Alternative to the beard for round 1: Incorporates our oppenent - Wings win, give a BJ a BJ. edit: missed 2nd BJ

So, does this mean meech/cheli at forward or call up leino?

I second that.

I wish U-Verse was available in my neighborhood, my parent's have it and amazing. The only other option we have is comcast and I WILL NEVER give those crooks another dime (directly). I know satellite's available, but I have a few cable only HD tivo's, so that's out of the question.

I've been complaining to wow for 2 years. Funny they never mentioned that online form... just give me $10 off

My friends and family shave after the last game of the season. I've kept a beard the last couple of years, but always go "nude" after the last game. I'll be taking it off tonight and only trimming when the guys lose.

Look, I'm just saying if you're looking for an equivalent to a playoff beard, bracelets are not it. If you're looking for something to do instead of the beard...by all means. There's a clear difference IMHO.

Tomorrow, once the lines are set, lets pick a wing who has no shot to win and see if we can make it happen. Right now I'm thinking chelios. Anyone with me?

That's it. I've gotta call it. Shenanigans

No offense to you ladies, but: Do the bracelets itch? Do they incite fear in small children and animals? Do strangers cross the street rather than walk past you after round 2? If the answer is no, then keep trying EDIT: How about a large braid in your hair for each round they win?

Havlat, Hossa, and Hudler? Holy Cow. The real question is: How could Hossa leave Havlat and Hudler hanging? And where the H was Holmstrom?

please delete....just realized the games on NBC.

Horrible....Old school blue-line Ozzie horrible.

Add luongo, Havlat, Parise, and Ovechkin to the Wings. Subtract Maltby, Draper, Samuelson, and Conklin.

"Aww, Man! Was that supposed to be today? I totally spaced...look, we'll do it next time, okay?"

Hossa would have to miss a month or 10 games. Better to just wait till playoffs and you'll get Hossa back sooner.

And he's lazy.

I like the cap number, but I'm concerned about the legnth of the contract. Let me get back to you in 3 years or so.

I absolutely hate the weighted lottery system the NHL uses. Some guys around the office and I have been kicking around an idea to replaced it. Give the playoff bound teams a week off at the end of the regular season and hold a single elimination tournament as follows: Group 1: (teams 24-30 as determined by NHL standings) Group 1 plays for picks 1-7 with winner taking #1 pick. Group 2: (teams 17-23 as determined by NHL standings) Group 2 plays for picks 8-14 with winner taking #8 pick. Through the lottery, no team can move up more than 4 draft positions or drop more than 1. This tournament would allow a maximum change of +/- 7. IMHO, a tournaments woud have the following Pro's: -Additional revenue for non-playoff teams -Prevent teams from "tanking" the season for a better pick -Additional league exposer Good idea?

I agree. Everyone's brought up good points...I guess that's why its just water cooler talk.

Following your thought...there's no way nashville wins a 7 game series.
