    Mueller got a bad concussion after a hit into the boards about a week ago, it's still not definite, but he should be good to go.

    Matty should be good to go, it was a minor injury and he was held out simply because they had already locked up a spot.

    We finally got Hejduk back too which is a big boost but we really need Mueller, he has been a stud down the stretch.


    Either way I am looking forward to it, worst part is that playing a series against you ensures late games every night and my schedule for this upcoming work got shifted from 9 am to 7 am which means I have to be up at 5.

    So Thursday morning after about 4 hours of sleep I will be fired up for work after the Avs game one win!!!

        1. I notice many of the SJ/COL and CHI/NSH games on Versus are listed as "Joined in Progress". Does that mean if an early game goes to multiple OT, there's a chance fans in SJ/COL/CHI/NSH won't see their teams play at all, or am I missing something here?

        2. I remember reading about how CBC and TSN divvied up playoff matchups. CBC got to pick 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 7th. If that's still the case, it means CBC chose PIT/OTT over WSH/MTL. Wow. The Canadian media's love of Crosby apparently knows no bounds.

          I could be crazy, but I think people are sleeping a bit on Nashville. I know they are playing Chicago, and I still think Chicago will win, but if Rinne gets hot it could be a long series on that ice. I think San Jose gets past Colorado and then loses to Detroit in the second round. I think that Chicago will play Vancouver and that series will depend on how hot Luongo is, and even if he is Chicago has enough talent to win. I'm not going to pick between the Wings and Hawks because it has the makings of an epic series.
          I could be crazy, but I think the East is the Caps' to lose. They go balls out for sixty minutes on the fore check and I think their aggressiveness will be rewarded. People always question their goal tending and defense, but I think it's the pace they play at that sometimes puts pressure on their goalie. The reason the Pens got them last year was because they had a beast of a fore check themselves IMO. The Pens could trip the Caps up if they get past a tough Ottawa team and gain confidence because they may have the mental advantage. It is definitely a crap shoot in the Stanley Cup playoffs so I will probably be wrong.

              It should be fun watching Chicago's depleted defense corps (and their forwards) try to get to the nerve to lay down in front of one of Shea Weber's thermonuclear slapshots.

                Take a deep breath, and look at the schedule again.

                    Bold (but biased) prediction:
                    The Kings will beat the Nucks, Blackhawks and Wings, face the Caps or Pens in the Cup finals, and either get mauled or somehow win. I know there's is a 0.001% chance of that happening, but I'm in dreamland right now, so let's just avoid getting shreaded by the Sedin clones in the first round.
                    My Teams:
                    NCAA FB-Oregon Ducks
                    NCAA BB-Gonzaga Bulldogs
                    NBA-Portland Trail Blazers
                    NFL-Carolina Panthers
                    MLB-San Francisco Giants
                    NHL-Los Angeles Kings
                    Won't change this signature until Oregon wins a national championship (started 3/10/10)

                      It's a bolder prediction than you thought. LA can't play the Blackhawks in the 2nd round. The Kings would play either the Sharks or the PHX/DET winner.

                          well, you said they wanted a Thursday start but get a Wednesday instead. like the NHL stuck it to the Wings bc they wanted a day later start. sure sounds like they were trying to pick the day they started.

                            It'd be interesting if the Jets/Coyotes franchise can beat the Red Wings after all the last time they made the playoffs they faced the Wings and lost.

                                I know this is redundant already but the NHL is braindead.
                                Why do the Hawks and Preds have to sit out for 5 days before getting their series started?
                                And why is the NHL basically in blackout until Wednesday?

                                Are they trying to let the NBA to catch up so it can cast it's long shadow over hockey?

                                Another great job by the NHL.

                                Who else remembers when the playoffs would begin 2 days after the last game and have the East and West play every other day? It was great.
