I'm actually looking forward to the Caps Ligthning game. I expect AO to pwn.

Ovie and Stamkos will put on a show for sure. Caps goal tending has been solid as of late so i'm predicting a 5-2 win for them, and Ovie getting 1g and 1a.

I expect the Avs to beat Chicago quite easily. With the way Duchene and Shattenkirk have been playing, they look to be going on a tear here soon.

I don't think it'll be easy now that Kane and Toews are healthy again. Throw in Sharp, Hossa, and Keith you they're a solid team, they just need some goaltending. Aves are definitely a team that could go on a tear, especially with Douchene, Statsny, Shatternkirk, liles, etc leading the way.

The tandem of Crawford and Turco isn't really a playoff like tandem.

Not at all, Dallas made a great call in dumping Turco and starting Lehtonen

They've also got Jack Campbell in the waiting as well.

Looking that way, what in the world happened to Broussard? I had such high hopes when we drafted him.

Shoulda kept Dave King lol
They still lack a solid 2nd 3rd or 4th scoring option after Nash the production drops big time. Commodore is gone....who is next? I say ya got trade either Voracek or Brassard or somebody young and a vet to get somebody decent to play center and we still lack a big time D. Too many problems to list. Garon/Mason haven't been so good lately either. When it rains it pours.
Brassard just can't string games together yet is his biggest problem. He has 4/5 great games then disappears for 10...

I haven't heard anything about Beauchemin.

If the Jackets are to trade a young player like Brass, Voracek, or Filatov it will most likely be Voracek since he has the most trade value out of those three.

Should be a good one. AO seems to be playing a lot better right now. Love to see him when he is on top of his game.

Suprised Wash played so flat last night. I got to watch a decent amount of the game, couldn't stop Sean Bergenheim as he played well.

Big game tonight between Boston and Philly. Hopefully Lucic can get back in the line up, they'll need all the offense they can get.

Games on tonight...

Philadelphia at Boston
Carolina at Buffalo
Ottawa at NY Islanders
Vancouver at NY Rangers
Nashville at Florida
Toronto at Phoenix
St. Louis at Los Angeles

No divisional games tonight, but a Boston and Philly will be a good watch.
