Cool note by Craig Button: If Tampa wins the Yzerman will have won 'Triple Gold' as a GM (WHC 07, Olympics 10), which is pretty neat since he only retired in 2006.

It's pretty amazing that he's a good gm. I expected him to be a catastrophic failure since he lacked the experience a new gm typically has when they finally get the position. Instead he's been perhaps the best gm in hockey since he got hired.

Brian France slumped into his couch in disappointment that he wasn't invited to the lovely Commissioner party. He wanted to see what other ideas he could rip off from these two for NASCAR.

I mean, of the three legs of the feat the two where you get to choose Team Canada are probably not the hardest.

Bishop wanted it more. That's why we play the games, to see who wants it more.

Hockey was the only thing keeping him alive. Much like Jagr. When there is no more hockey, there's nothing left holding him together.

I wish I was a hockey fan sooner, so I could have watched teemu play more. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.

E: That said, I'll feel the same pain when Getzlaf and Perry finally hang them up. Who do you think will retire first?

Probably Getzlaf since he already has the appearance of someone that is 40

Fighting like beavers.
Getzlaf has enough talent to be a moderately effective, floaty, Alex Kovalev type player when he's 38 so I think he'll last longer. Perry will have a sharper decline when he can't bump his way into the crease anymore.

If they decide to overhaul goalie interference again Corey Perry might just retire then.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
I remember Selanne on the Avalanche, but I have zero memory of him every playing for the Sharks. That has been wiped from my brain. Like, I see that it happened thanks to H-R, but it feels like an alternate universe.

fun kariya fact: he retired with exactly 989 points in 989 games. I like that. Although 1000 in 1000 would've been cooler.

So that was in fact the Ducks that were on the ice tonight, right?

Because based on the quality of play I'm pretty sure that wasn't the same team that was in the first six games.
