I blame the Make-ya-Laughs for finaly resembling something like a real NHL team...
The words "play-offs" and "Toronto" being used together in the same sentance for the first time in 9 years has lead to mass confusion, and the rest of the country going into hiding to avoid the up-coming 'Stanley Cup warm-up parade' that'll soon be rehursing up and down Bay St.

At least the World Series parade has officially been cancelled though...

Tonight will be the last divisional game between the two oldest rivals in NHL history.

Lets go Wings.

I hate that it was the last divisional game between the two oldest rivals in NHL history, but I loved the outcome!

Geaux Blackhawks!

Rooting for the Wings here... if nothing to slap some humility into them 'Hawks...

Sorry to disappoint you. but the Blackhawks won in a shootout over the Red Wings.

The Blackhawks- Blues games is close as well 1-0 Blackhawks after 2. Both teams have played a tough game so far.

Yup... blues lost 2-to-zip to the 'Hawks... man they're a good team.

But, man it was fun hockey... wasn't it?

So, prediction time.

21 seasons of continuous Play-Off appearances. Maybe more so then ever before, Detroit is looking at ending the year early.

Are they going to make it in?

Yeah... I think they'll find that last gear and squeak in.

I think Detroit is maybe the only team that can take on the Blackhawks in a 7 game series.

The Blues are so streaky, I really don't have hope that they can get "hot" at the right time, ala the LA Kings last year.

Fixed your typo.

Naw... the 'Hawks are that [u]good now. I find myself watching some of their games now.

Don't fool yourself.

Will Sidney be back?

Crosby, Neal and Martin all skated today. Since the Pens are assured to be no worse than the #2 seed in the East, I don't think you'll see any of the injured guys during the remainder of the regular season.

Hope the Sens can improve their place. Currently 4th in the East, but they're very hit or miss since they've lost a load of good players this year to injury...

Maclean should handily win the Jack Adams this year. It's amazing how well they've done considering who they've lost and how long they've been out.

Jack Adams is an award for fantastic coaching? And I agree, he deserves it. I have to say, his bitchin' 'stache and how well they've done this season has definitely made me a fan for life

Deservingly so, but Boston is going to have a busy week at the end trying to make 2 missed games up now.

Yeah, kind of sad though. I know why it was cancelled, but at the same time, people need things to take their minds off of stuff like that... I'm in Cleveland, and the local radio station talked about it for at least 3 and a quarter hours (stopped listening to it when I got home), the local news was talking about it, and the national news has done a half hour on it (it's a half hour show). I know everyone deals with tragedy and loss differently, but I would just want life to be normal asap.

Blackhawks leading 1-0 after 1, hopefully Emery can get another shutout

And the Stars didn't have a shot for 16 minutes straight

EDIT: Damn no shutout but Hawks still leading 2-1 after 2

And 5-2 finish, great 3rd period

Whoooo!

Blues win 2-1 in SO over the 'Nucks...

It was a really wild game!

Would be a hell of a series if they end up matched up. Though neither team would have much left for round 2 by the looks of things.

You ain't kidding... I think the Blues and Canucks are awfully close team skill wise.

Jared Cowen is back! And the Sens won their third in a row, things are looking good for them to make the playoffs!

Hopefully they'll be closer to full strength. Karlsson and Spezza have been working out off ice, and I think Spezza's looking to return before the end of the season.

It was amazing hockey.

The Blackhawks are playing some great stick, as they have been all year.

I do not think there is a team out there that can beat them in a series.

Anaheim might have a shot, the Pens might have a shot if crosby stays healthy, and maybe Montreal, but the Blackhawks are playing great D, and Crawford and Emery are really stingy in net so it is going to be tough to score over a series. They have only let 87 goals through in 42 games. That is 15 less than the Pens have allowed over the same amount of games.

Wings and Coyotes on NBCSports right now. Maybe the most important game of the year for the Wings. So far they've struck early, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed they keep it up!

Sens are trailing, but the game just started.

Also, thank goodness for the Blackhawks (only time you'll ever hear me say this). Went to the Harry Carey's in Lombard, and bought a 15 dollar burger... it was half off since the hawks were playing

Wings up 2-0!!! I'm loving the start of this game so far. Jimmy Howard is hot, and so is our Power Play.

Wings got it done last night. Now lets see the Blues lose tonight! 3 losses and the Blues will most likely be eliminated. Lets get it done!

You were saying? Blues won!

One can always hope.

Now, we gotta thump the Kings tonight.

Hopefully Dallas will beat Columbus tomorrow. Should things line up that way, I'll be feeling pretty comfortable.

Idk about Dallas, but the Bluejackets are an Ohio team... I think you should start feeling pretty comfortable

Season ends next week right? only 2 or 3 more games for the Sens, I believe it's impossible for them to drop out of playoff contention
