Which series is everyone looking forward to the most that kicks off tonight? Myself, I'm going to be glued to that Detroit / Pheonix game. The Washington Rangers series also intrigues me as the Caps have faltered in the early round of the playoffs in the past and on paper the Rags have a HUGE advantage in goal.

Vancouver - Chicago , defending champs ( though somewhat depleted compared to last year ) against the most sound 'team' in the league. Vancouvers always had trouble with the hawks so it should be a great series.

Fan 590 in Toronto on "Hockey central" just said Coyotes to move to Winnipeg after playoffs. They (Doug McLean and Nick Kypreos) said it's a done deal.

 

 

Wow. That would be a big deal.

Kypreos is back tracking his words now on twitter.... "For the record I was told the Pho deal to keep team is "all but dead" and an announcement "could" come as soon as their play-off run is over"

Winnipeg is a better market anyways so I hope thats the case.

Good. Now get hockey out of Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta.

Go in the tank for 2 months. :unsure:

 

Didn't really pay attention to them, so I don't know who was injured/slumping/traded that put them into the tank.

I know his play this season was not up to the level of 09-10, but getting rid of Craig Anderson made a bad situation worst. Budaj and Elliott went 5-21-1 to close the season. Not all their fault and they played some decent games down the stretch. Their offense scored two goals or less in 19 of those games. They have more than enough talent on that team outside of goaltending that their record down the stretch shouldn't have come anywhere near that.

 

IMO they will also regret trading Stewart. Combined with Shattenkirk, I think the Blues got the best of the deal in which they gave up Erik Johnson.

Ya, congrats Vancouver in winning the Presidents Trophy....now play the cup champs and team that knocked you out the last two straight years in the first round :ph34r:

Almost seemed like the front office wanted to lose - especially after making that trade for Elliott.

This is hilarious....I hope the Sabres put this on the jumbo tron when we face the Caps in the ECFs!

Seperated @ Birth?

 

Erm... you do realize it isn't possible for us to face them in the ECFs this year, right?

I didn't know that CBC had announcers this boring. Where did they get them from? It's a tied game--scoreless, of course, but tied--in the third, and they are lulling me to sleep. It's like C-SPAN or something.

Listening to Beninati and Laughlin (especially Laughlin) brings back horrible memories of watching hockey in Washington.

 

EDIT: Although, the camera shows Washington fans at the game. So something is different.
