'08-'09 NHL Playoffs

Fukkin' A, the Canucks are in first by a point. Luongo outduels Backstrom.
poor backstrom, no support. He's a good goalie.
Florida won't go away. Hawks are of no help against the canadiens.
The East is getting as hairy as the west now.
If the Ducks win they are in the 8th spot, up 3-1 in Edmonton.

Alan's head is so far up his ass I don't know where to start. the Caps are 7th because their remaining games are not all against playoff teams?-lol
What a jackass.

very few who write on hockey know very little about the game. They just are sports writers who get hockey assignments for the most part.

Playoff predictions are funnier than Power Rankings. The only thing you can really predict about the playoffs is 16 that teams make em, and only one team can win 16 times Anything can happen and thats what makes them so special imho...nerve wrecking but special Anything can happen...

[atomic charvel guy]

best sport to watch ever

and there's not much that is as satisfying to me than wailing a slapshot high over the goailie and hitting the glass-lol

Agreed!

You guys want real hockey news, go to TSN's Hockey section (http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/), The Hockey News (http://www.thehockeynews.com/), the official NHL site (http://www.nhl.com), or your team's site.

SI's hockey coverage leaves a lot to be desired.

NHL.com's the best. I still can't understand why there's no coverage
on ESPN like there used to be. hockey takes a a lot of abuse from the
NBA people, I think they're a joke. I'm perplexed as to why everyone in the world
is not an over the top hockey fan????????

Not bad for being 13 points back a couple weeks ago, and jumping from 5th to 3rd in the conference with one shot 'aint too shabby either, now let the ping pong match for the division title begin.

ESPN has a couple of NHL writers on their staff. EJ Hradek is one. He knows his stuff. I watch/listen to him on NHL Live when I get a chance. But since VS outbid ESPN on the NHL coverage, ESPN doesn't really care much about hockey anymore.

[atomic charvel guy]

outbid or not, ESPN is 'The total sports network" according to them.
There's more nascar on there than hockey. Sickening i tell you.
I like the job E.J. does, but I think Lagreca is more listenable.

Well, LaGreca is a radio guy. Hradek is a writer. So, the difference is easy to tell. But the guy I like the most when he's on NHL Live... Clement. Now THAT guy knows puck!
