Players or numbers?
- 6628

Watching the game last night, damn they are soft, so were the oil.

Pierre McGuire got launched from the Senators today.

Watching the Rangers, boy they get rattled quickly and start chasing.

Playoff experience, no substitute for it

Hey Rick, Hoping this happens again.

There is no doubt this is happening, its an annual event for Leaf fans.

But I am a little PO'd at Tampa for taking their time - I wanted a Maple Leaf humiliation on home ice in Game 5 in front of all their loser faithful.

After that 2nd period in Pittsburgh I can see Owner James Dolan working on the Hangman's Knot for Gerrard Gallant.

How the hell did Adam Fox ever win the Norris Trophy?

So the Caps would play the winner of Bolts Leafs?

That series isn’t over yet.

I’m shocked the Pens are up 3-1 on the Rangers.

True, we'll see what happens, they got really fortunate with the pulled goalie, Caps playing a much more responsible hockey game

I don’t know about that, Washington only had 16 shots in regulation.

What a comeback

Yes but Caps had some grade aaaa chances because of Panthers turnovers

Man what a save by Oettinger

The Hawks could have drafted Oettinger….instead they ended up with Lafferty (eventually).

The Caps are not through to the next round, sizzle chest. They are tied at two games each, just like the Bolts and Leaves.

Until the SHL quarter-finals end in a loss for his Skellefteå AIK team or is elininated in next round, or wins the championship, the announcement of Filip Roos signing a hawk contract will not be announced.

Zadorov with a couple good plays in a row. I thought the Board of Doom had decided he is really bad at hockey? It's hard to keep up, and to connect the Dots, eh?

Thanks all for the shout outs earlier in the message board. As always, I appreciate your readership and support.

Wheter the Blackhawks news cycle is running rampant or running on fumes, I'll do what I can to crank out food for thought, updates, and such.

New blog! A look at how a powerful tool like a hiring profile can serve the Blackhawks well as they search for a head coach and even select the "best player available" in the entry draft.

You know, there was a time I actually liked the Leafs. I’m talking the Clark, Gilmour, Andreychuk, Potvin teams.

But… something about this present organization makes me really, really (I mean really) enjoy watching them lose in the playoffs.

I respected those teams back in the early-mid 90s.....but I think now for me is just the biased canadian hockey media who continually fawn over them and how "alive" their building is and then they $hit the bed and nothing is ever called out.

I haven't heard/read one critical piece on Dumbass operating in insanity and not doing a somewhat major shakeup to that core. See what happens over the next 3 games but tonight...is a MUST win for Toronto and see if this band of mental midgets wilts under the pressure again or do they actually win a critical game?
