It's funny this year a lot of people have said that to me, took a little time, I guess I just saw it early.

Not very confident right now. Parise hasn't skated in 3 days due to some mysterious upper body injury and our speedster Haula (has been on a scoring tear) might miss the first game also.

We still have 5 slots in the 2016 NHL playoff pool

Surprised I neglected to say this yesterday, but RIP, Mr. Snider.

[icehog3]

R.I.P. Mr. Snider, and thank you for all you did for the game.

[AdamJoshua]

R.I.P. Ed.


Damn I was hoping that was about Rask.

Edit: because he did a lot for the ****ing Flyers too ... his first post season .. P.O.S!!!!

Crazy Kings-Sharks game going on, back and forth. San Jose just made it 4-3. I have the Kings in the playoff pool, but I won't be that sad if the Sharks take the series.

Here's my bracket prediction. Was way off last year.

I hope you are 100% right this year, Neil!

Great TB / STL game last night... not sure why people are calling for Abdelkader to be suspended (unless it's just people from TB), from what I saw two guys jumped him, he got out from under them and took care of some business.

"Abdelkader had a big time advantage there." Again, he didn't when two guys jumped on top of him and took him down.

I'm just shocked that Tampa is already playing the Blues, and somehow Abdelkader was acquired by them.

On a serious note, I agree with you completely, Adam.

For more whining (and even alluding to conspiracy theory), catch Hitchcock's post game press conference from last night. Oh, the poor widdle Bwuesies....

[AdamJoshua]

Good game between the Kings and the Sharks, can't believe Jumbo Joe is still playing ... why harry sinden said the kid was done like 14 yrs ago

Good to see Looch getting a shot at the playoffs, he's out there throwing some playoff caliber hits tonight too.

[AdamJoshua]

Sorry, Tom, clearly I jinxed Looch ..

I wonder how Rask was able to get in goal instead of Mason..

Sharks are looking like a much different team than years past. Maybe the embarrassment and missing the playoffs is what they needed. Some great hockey all around being played. Love the playoffs!

Lehtonen was absolutely lights-out brilliant last night. Dall go up 2-0 in the series. The goal off Dubnyks helmet from behind the net is one of the weirdest things I've seen.

Hope the Wild make a comeback to make this one do on a bit. Great teams to watch!

I'm still trying to figure out how that was a goal. Unless they called Dubnyks attempt to stop the puck from rolling into the net as intentionally knocking the net off the moorings. My club showed some effort tonight but just not enough. Couldn't capitalize on numerous scoring chances. Breakaways, 2 on 1s, nothing. Pp is terrible. Extremely frustrating.

[icehog3]

That goal on Mason was heartbreaking to watch....over and over and over again.

Sharks have been up 2-0 against L.A. before. And Jones was under .500 at home while crushing it on the road in the regular season. This one could be a long way from over, and I'm glad 'cause it's a great series so far.

Watching the Wild dominate the Stars for the first few minutes of the 2nd period, the place is dead quiet, swear I was thinking they were in Dallas

GREAT 2nd for the Wild. Though looks like they may start the 3rd on the PK.

I can't understand why it takes my team having their backs against the wall to skate like that. I haven't seen them skate like that since last years playoffs against the Avs. They were flying the last five minutes of that period.
