Here's to hoping the Caps would get to the East Finals for the first time in 16 years.

The Caps can be really good this year


And the East is wide open imo

[Girasuck]

Lets see...who's the Pens goalie? Sucks to know it's another wasted season before it even starts.

I'm pretty excited though to see Bennett on the same line as Malkin and Neal.

I'll be shocked if the West doesn't come down to Chicago and LA again, especially since it's such a shit conference now that Detroit left :lol

One reporter asked Holmgren and Snyder, "Why are you hiring a guy from within the organization when the organization hasn't won in 38 years?"

http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/union-army-surgeons-1865-granger.jpg

The Blue Jackets name was selected because the name pays homage to Ohio’s contributions to American history and the great pride and patriotism exhibited by its citizens, especially during the Civil War as both the state of Ohio and the city of Columbus were significantly influential on the Union Army. Ohio contributed more of its population to the Union Army than any other state, while many of the Blue Coats worn by the Union soldiers were manufactured in Columbus.

Considering how the west is shaping out, it will be a slaughterhouse in the west playoffs. So i would say the east might even have a better chance to win it in the end... but it's still a lot of hockey to be played until the playoffs.

They are a playoff team; when hockey is more physical and defensive.

Don't worry

I'm hoping for the same, for two reasons:

1) Stationed here in St Louis... gonna be going to the Bruins/Blues game next month.
2) It would be f'ing hilarious for the Boston to beat St Louis twice in the span of a year.

Right now, Richard Sherman is trying to get into the Calgary Flames dressing room.

How in the hell is that not reviewable?

Even if it wasn't reviewable, that could've pretend it is and "review" it. Even if someone figured out it shouldn't have been, they would hardly have a leg to stand on. They had a choice of doing the "wrong" right thing or doing the dumb thing and they decided to do the dumb thing. It will be funny when Detroit edges one eastern team for a point and into the playoffs...

[apalisoc_9]

Will the jets make the playoffs this year?

I hardly watch the NHL but my some of the guys I know talk about it all the time..

I'm debating buying a ticket, but if they're a tanking team..fuck them.

Jets aren't tanking, but they are not making the playoffs either. It doesn't help that west is so stacked up it's not even funny - 6 of the top 8 teams in NHL are in the west.

The Kings have been a flat-out joke for a while now.... since December 23rd, we're 4-11, and I don't see any winnable games until the break.... we can't score a lick, no power play, don't move the puck, slow as molasses, no creativity, and just plain boring, tbh.... might be time for a trade to wake this team up, honestly.... can't stand losing to the regular-season tryhard Ducks....
