Thanks Paul...they're gonna need it. :-)

Anything bad for NJ is good for Boston.:-)

Anything bad for NJ on Tuesday is good for the Hawks. :-)

They should limit the playoffs to the original 6 teams anyways. We only need the expansion teams to provide variety during the regular season and to provide additional farm teams for us.:-):-):-)

No, it should just be between the Canadiens and Maple Leafs since they are the only charter members left. :-) So in reality every team but them are expansion teams.

Actually you are right but I am using Original Six in the traditional sense. I suppose that we could let the Senators in since they were, at one time, league members in the early days.:-)

Ok, what did you guys think of Ovechkin's celebration?

That crap will get him killed one of these days.

That's what I'm thinking, and I'm wondering why nobody did anything. Does Tampa not have a big guy? A few years ago, there is no way he would have gotten away with something like that.

I missed it, do you have a link? :-)

Missed the celebration myself. But I have read a ton of stuff saying it was over the top. Untill he wins in the playofs he will just be a showboater.

Let me get the link really quick.

Congrats to Brodeur on shutout #101 tonight against the Wild:-)

Thank you....that was Bush League. :-)

Hawks can't buy a win right now. :-)

At this rate the nucks are going to blow past the Flames and the Hawks :-):-):-)

Flames just can't seem to have more than 3 players at the top of their game at the same time. Ollie's on a tear, while Kipper looks like he's napping :-)....

Same in Chicago....Toews is on a tear, but the goaltending and defensive (or lack of it, read "Brian Campbell") are killing the Hawks.

Eh, all you guys whose teams will at least see a playoff game get no sympathy from me!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-)

Is he being a ghost on the ice? I swear during the playoffs for the sharks you couldn't tell when he was on the ice, and when you could, it was not a good thing. So happy they didn't sign him, and got Boyle for essentially nothing.

Kings beat the bruins! Give the kings another year or two, and I think they will be very competitive again. Could be a scary division.

The blues have been sneaking up into the playoffs, two points back from the predators, and both have the same amount of games left.

Yeah, I would much rather have Boyle. Campbell isn't invisible at all......he can clearly be seen losing his check, coughing it up, shying away....it is sad. He actually had his best game in 3 weeks last night, and he was barely average.

How about that goalie in New Jersey!!
