I don't even pay attention to hockey until the playoffs start. Tampa looks pretty good to me, Bergenheim has been unbelievable. Lecavalier and St. Louis look as good as ever.

They've got a WEAK defense and shaky goaltending just like years past.

They've only got two studs at D and they're Alzner and Calrson. Green flat out sucks along with Erskine and Schultz. Hannan will be gone at the beginning of UFA.

What also hurts the Craps is the lack of a true #2 center. Arnott is not it anymore and Johansson will take some time to develop. Once again though, 2 of the 3 stars failed to show up (Semin and Backstrom). It would be wise to try and get rid of Semin who is due to make 6.7 mil next season.

If Washington wants to succeed, changes must be made with player personal. Not just coaching.

It's easier to fire 1 coach than a bunch of players, i think BB will be gone.

Flyers are really missing pronger, but they definitely won't pull this series out with Thomas in net, he won't have a break down like Tuukka

And even that's debateable, with Nashville's crap-tacular game 1 and game 3 performances. They've had Rinne to bail them out but it has been brruuuuutal to watch them on offense.

Yeah, is sort of surprising how lopsided most of this round has been. The first round had a lot of drama. Now, you have one 4-0 sweep and two others that are 3-0.

Was going through my computer recently and found an old pic. I guess the guy who owns Tampa also owns some factories, including one in Upper Sandusky. After they won the Cup a number of years back, a guy I know mentioned to me that the Cup would be taken to each of his businesses for an hour or so for employees and families to take pictures with. Since he knew I was a sports fan, he invited me to drive up. So, shortly after TB eliminated Pittsburgh, I found the picture of me posing with the Cup wearing a Lightning jersey (mandatory for posing, I guess). Go team...I guess...FML.

Despite coming up short in the playoffs again, Capitals Coach Bruce Boudreau is expected to return to Washington next season, GM George McPhee said Thursday.

“I expect him to be back, yeah,” McPhee said on breakup day at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. “He's a good coach.”

"True" Caps fans can only hope. But I've been told Semin is all over the place at the Verizon Center :sarcasm:

At least it looks like it will be over soon, so we can hope the conference finals kick ass.
