So it looks like Vancouver, Calgary, LA, with Winnipeg left in the cold?

Also Jonny Gaudreau is rookie of the month, March. Whoo.

That is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Chicago is not going to make it past the first round unless the Blues really poo poo the bed down the stretch here. Sorry Kimmo, you should have picked Tampa or something. :smith:

Winnipeg is two points up on LA with the same number of games played but Buff's suspension could be an issue

I think a lot of the West is like that this year. The Canucks alternate between looking like Babby's First Hockey Team against poo poo teams, and then the very next game they go and demolish the Kings. It's a coin toss which version you'll get on any given night.

I'm still not sure I understand why Burrows would need a hearing for that. He's a shithead in general but I didn't think the Gaustad hit looked bad.

The fact that he boards him twice in a row and Vrbata left the game obviously injured makes it that much more infuriating that it wasn't even a 2 minute boarding penalty.

Like, it's pretty close to what Weber did to Zetterberg in the playoffs two years ago, and he at least got a fine for that.

NHL officiating is poo poo. I will laugh my dick off when they lose a billion dollar concussion lawsuit.

I heard he removed his foot and beat his mother to death with it, inadvertently rupturing the achilles tendon.

Yes, this is why they need to take it easy on Dustin. He's a good egg, just got caught in a bad situation.

Maybe he was falling, and thrusting his stick out like that was a reflex to catch himself, and the neck just happened to be in the way...

Rooting for 2 games at most.

Nah.

If you're not rooting for an Islanders-Predators final like I am, you're lame as hell. And that would be some great hockey that no one would ever, ever watch.

But if we're rooting for the ratings Heat Death of the NHL Universe I guess the idea outcome is Tampa Bay-Nashville.

That sound you just heard was Gary Bettman making GBS threads his pants.

AHL's Bears were originally going to be called the Hershey Bars, that's pretty close. Not sure otherwise.

The Midwest Elite Hockey League has teams named after Compuware and Honeybaked Ham apparently.

Dunno if it counts, but the Milwaukee Admirals got their name because their owner also owned a store that sold Admiral brand appliances.

It's not officially because of the sponsorship deal, it just is a convenient tie-in.

Hell, they'll probably get paid by whoever manages Heart for the inevitable choice of goal song.
