juice come on now, you have been here long enough that facts have no part on HB

I'm sorry

Fair enough. They've had some epic playoff battles of late.

With that said though, so have the Sharks and Wings. I don't see the Avs sneaking in, so that would be the team I sub out for the Sharks.

Plus, while I may be bias, I think we'll end up on top of the Pacific Division. 3 matchups with both the Yotes and Kings from this point on will determine that though.

Any news on where Steve Ott is going to end up? It's gonna be a huge trade when it goes down...I mean it's THE STEVE OTT!

Is it because he said the Canucks weren't going to win or that the Leafs would magically make it?


Oh, the bolded. Yes, through all the hardships he's kept his thoughts from Monday.
