Great news for the Red Wings
St Louis Blues are my team and I'm pumped they are gonna possibly be back in the playoffs.
A Nashville loss thursday night vs Detroit and a win friday vs Columbus and the Blues are in!!!!!!! , if they win out I think they can get the 6th seed and play Vancouver! They can beat them!!!!

Blues are in!
A win today vs Colorado and they play Calgary in the first round.
If they can do that, they can DEFINATELY beat Calgary in the first round.
LETS GO BLUES!
Congrat to the Blues.
They can't beat Calgary, but they could beat Detroit (they are 2-2 vs Red Wings this season)
Go Flyers!!! The rivalry of Pennsylvania!
I think they can beat the Penguins.
Flyers - Pens and Bruins-Habs are amazing 1st round matchups.
Flyers can win it, it will be interesting, but Pens have added Stanley CUp experience, grit and scoring with Guerin and Kunitz.
Habs vs Bruins: no comment; great stuff; I hope Markov and Lang will be back from injuries early in the series
I ing love this time of year. Absolutely the greatest 2 weeks are upcoming. Multiple games on every night with both teams in every game playing with passion and intensity to a level you dont normally see in a regular season game.
I bow to playoff hockey. Go Wings!
What took you so long ?
Playoff hockey is amazing; the intensity is there; it's like players are on steroids
Boo, hiss @ Red Wings
Hockey playoffs are intense, you can't look away for a second.
Caps-wings in the finals!!
I can dream can't I?
Seriously been waiting for the caps to win a cup for 20 years now. Best chance we have had I think. Only weakness I see is solid goaltending through the entire run
Blues were 1-5 and 2 vs Detroit. Don't know where you got 2-2.
They are lined up with Vancouver and can take them out in 6.
LETS GO BLUES!
TJ Oshie, remember that name
It was a mistake on a website; ooopsydooooooooBlues were 1-5 and 2 vs Detroit. Don't know where you got 2-2.

Goaltending and the D is not that great either.
But the Offense, OMFG
I have seen the D step up big when it counts. I am praying it happens this post season. Need the offense to keep shooting lights out too!Goaltending and the D is not that great either.
But the Offense, OMFG
Why does Versus use the channels TSN and CBC for hockey playoff games? Some of the games on Versus are done by the announcers of the channel and they use the graphics of Versus but then there are some playoff games that are announced by the announcers of CBC and TSN and they use the graphics of those channels. Versus pretty much streams CBC and TSN for some playoff games. What's up with that? Can Versus not afford to do all of the playoff games that come on their channel?
Huh?
Anyway.........the action on the ice starts tonight!
Because hockey is a Canadian game
Also, TSN = ESPN Canada
And no playoff hockey on CBC would be a national tragedy up north (Hockey Night in Canada is a tradition here)
Sometimes I forget that the entire country does not have CBC.
My parents tell me "back in the day" stories when TV used to shut off after Ed Sullivan, etc. You got 4 channels back then. NBC, CBS, ABC and channel 9 was CBC.
I grew up Don Cherry and Ron McLean on my television on Saturday Nights. I actually prefer watching the Canadian broadcast.
I went to Canada and was watching TSN in a bar. I didnt want to leave. I envy a channel that pays that much attention to hockey, day in and day out, all year long. *sigh*
It's great, but it's hockey 24/7 here; sometimes, it's too much.
I wish I could watch more NBA here; I mean, the coverage is not bad at all, but it coud be better
I just sucks I'm not allowed to put a dish in my balcony; otherwise, I would have ALL the U.S Dish Networks channels and packages
1.Boston vs 8.Montreal: Habs in 7. Dont know why, Habs have Boston's number and vice versa. Just a guaranteed good series.
2.Washington vs. 7.New York Rangers: Washington in 5. The Rags are fragile and they pay two mediocre centers $7+ million a year. They deserve to lose for those contracts alone. Lundqvist is the only reason they win a game. AO will be quiet on the goal front all series, but it wont matter in the least.
3.New Jersey vs. 6.Carolina: NJ in 6. Carolina is the hottest team in the East right now and New Jersey floated into the playoffs. Doesnt matter. New Jersey is a winning organization with the most accomplished goaltender in history who just came off the longest injury break of his career. Hes rested, focused and almost unstoppable. Should be a good series.
4.Pittsburgh vs 5.Philadelphia: Flyers in 7. This is going to be a great series to watch...unless youre a fan of either team. There Will be Blood. What a brutal series. Awesome. I just think Philly will win, but its a coin toss.
--------------
1.San Jose vs. Anaheim: SJ in 6. Anaheim got the worst luck drawing SJ. bet they wish they were playing the Wings. Oh well, another brutal series that sadly, wont be as close as its East counterpart. Anaheim falls, nonetheless.
2.Detroit vs. 7.Columbus: No predictions. No jinx. Its a tradition I have.
3.Vancouver vs 6.St Louis: Blues in 6. Blues are a very underrated team. Decimated by injuries all year long, 15th place in the conference when the calendar struck 2009. Roar back all the way to 6th in less than 35 games. Amazing. Vancouver is overrated, IMO. Luongo is the best goalie in the league, but hasnt had much playoff success (admittedly, he hasnt had many chances...this is his best so far).
4. Chicago vs. 5.Calgary: Hawks in 5. Calgary is a disjointed team who has literally gone from division leader to choke artist in less than a month. Chicago has rebounded from a so-so late March into April. Chicago is going to crush them in the first three games, IMO. Kipper isnt the goalie we know and love/hate. Maybe playing 70+ games a year has something to do with that.....naaaah, couldnt be. Oh yeah, Camalerri is going to fall to earth just as fast as his rise. Bertuzzi is useless. Iginla is the man. The defense is good, not great. With Keenan at the helm, I wouldnt be surprised to see Kipper pulled in this series early just because Mike is a Moron. The real question for Chicago in this series, and a real playoff learning experience for them is, how do they handle Calgary gooning it up when theyre down? Chicago is going to roll them, IMO, but they wont be the same team afterwards. They'll either be tougher for it or injured. Im betting injured.
You should live in Canada man;you would be the new "Bob McKenzie"; lot of good points
Bruins - Habs: yes, we do have the mental edge, but Markov is listed a day-to-day; we can beat the Bruins, but I like our chances better with Markov. Nevertheless, should fun to watch, great rivalry, and we almost beat them last week in Boston; it's a good thing Price finally woke the up.
If Markov can play at least 2 games in this series: Habs in 7
If not, Bruins in 6
Pens-Flyers: another great rivalry; 7 games, but very hard to say who is gonna win; Philapdelphia was built for the playoffs, and they have been in playoff mode lately; but Pittsburgh has picked up Guerin and Kunitz, adding scoring, grit and championship experience.
Aaargh.......Flyers in 7.
Devils - Canes: again, hard to tell; Devils have been great overall, Parise has had a career year and the addition of Shanahan during the season was a great move; however, Carolina has been hotter as of late, trading for Eric Cole before the deadline; Cole won the cup in 2006 with the Canes, and his team has been en fuego since he came back; plus, Brind'amour is a clutch performer; it's hard to go against teams that have momentum,
BUT Brodeur will rise to the occasion; Devils in 7
Vouashigneutone - Rangers: Washington is very talented offensively, but their blue line and their goaltending suck major donkey ass.
Drury may miss game 1, so Caps have to take advantadge.
Rangers in 6-7
Wings vs Columbus: Wings in 5....... no wait !
Osgood has been sucking as of late, and Mason can be a show stopper
Wings in 7.
(It's a good thing Wings are not playing the Predators
Sharks vs Anaheim: San Jose is the better team, but Thornton and Marleau are not playoff legends; Anaheim is big team and they will play tough.
Sharks in 7
Vancouver vs St-Louis: hard to figure; Vancouver seems to be a well balanced team, but Luongo has been so-so this season.
The Blues have been the hottest team in the NHL over the last 2 months; really impressive.
Because Canucks have home ice to bail them out, Vancouver in 7.
Flames vs Hawks: I somewhat agree with you Darkreign, but Hawks are a young team, and experience will be a factor.
It's true that Keenan won't think twice before pulling Kipper out, and that the Falmes are not 100% healthy.
However, I remember a depleted Montreal team easily beating the Hawks about a month ago.
Flames in 6-7
@ the Flyer picks
What NHL teams have cheerleaders?
Carolina and Chicago that I know of for sure.
What NHL teams have cheerleaders?
I think Phoenix does....maybe even the Caps, too.
I am also secretly rooting for the Blackhawks!
What NHL teams have cheerleaders?
I think the Atlanta Trashers do have cheerleaders as well.
In Montreal, they are not needed, because there are so many hot chicks attending the games
