I just noticed that I somehow have Shea Weber on my team. I don't think he will score too many points in the playoffs. WTF.

FYI, Stewie is tied for 86th overall in the CBC pool.
To put that in perspective, Naum is tied for 39,438th.
That's what I get for not picking any Penguins and starting Jose Theodore… |

You should both also get a smack upside the head. Better luck in round 2, it'll be harder to completely fuck up.
Carey Price in net tonight, eh? Wellll.........
Welcome to 0-3, Habs.

Absolutely godly performance by Fleury. Total ass from the rest of the pens.
Wins is wins, though.

God bless the Fleury. Sykora needs to get scratched, he's obviously hurt. Gonchar has been oddly inconsistent.
We need an easy matchup next round to get our shit together. Also, I want to be able to attend games in person. Go Caines and Caps!

Next round (in the East) will be BOS vs. NYR and CAR vs. PIT.
Rangers will take Washington in 7. Varlamov won't stay hot, IMO. He's what, 18?

Yeah, but give the Blues credit. It wasn't like the Montreal/Boston sweep. At least they competed.

Wins is wins, though.
He made up for the dreadful game 3 performance and carried the team to victory. Eh, Pens played well in period 2 but got back on their heels in period 3, playing not to lose and did their best to serve the game up to the Flyers. Fleury had different ideas and the only one he let in, I don't think Spiderman could have stopped… …very sloppy in their own end, forwards and D-men both — Eaton, Scuderi, Orpik all lazy and by the end of the period, weren't even capable of even icing the puck. On Boston v. Montreal, Detroit v. Columbus, Jackets & Habs totally outgunned… Anaheim v. SJ very competitive, thought Ducks had upper hand last night, started to impose their will I thought, then I fell asleep at 3-3 and wake up to discover SJ won… Chicago v. Calgary has been very exciting series to watch — I love the way the Hawks play but Khabby needs to have his A game going for them to have a serious shot and I think no matter, any of these teams will be punked by Detroit… |

The Blues are going to be a nightmare next year. All the kids have some seasoning, and if they improve their blueline and maybe a bit more secondary scoring they will win a playoff series next year. |

I didn't know you were allowed to slidetackle goalies now.
Fleury played really well, and was lucky when he needed to be.
Series could easily be 3-1 the other way.

Yes, gloat. And ridicule me for picking Jose Theodore… …WTF was I thinking… …though Osgood easily could have netted 3 SO instead of 1, and there's still game 4 to go… |

Oh look, Montreal is completely fucked and really sucks.

Relying on a player who, every single time he touches the puck, rushes down the left side and fires the puck through the legs of the defenseman in a whirling dervish of fucking predictability to play thirty minutes a game of the laziest defense known to man and shoot the puck literally thirty times (less than half of which hit the net, even) whether a shot is the right play or not isn't a good playoff strategy. Washington is a good fucking team. Flat out. One of the best teams in the East on paper, if not THE best. And I'm not saying Ovechkin is really the problem. But how about some fuckin' defense. I watched the Caps/Rags game last night, yo. Ovechkin played almost 30 minutes, and I couldn't have told you that. Mostly because when his team is in the defensive zone, Ovechkin is nowhere to be seen in the frame. "Huh. Well, that's OV's line again. Where the fuck is OV?" |

Waiting for a pass. Caps look like they've been well crafted for regular season success but need to exchange a few parts to attain postseason success. Much like the Pens in the early Mario years… |

How can you be surprised. Their last three games have been complete and utter fail.
Game 7 should be interesting if the Pens decide to show up (because game 6 is guaranteed to be a Philly win at home with the Penguins playing like this).

Phoenix Suns? Chicago Cubs? San Diego Chargers? Those are teams with just general long streaks of futility. The Caps seem singular in their ability to completely outclass the teams they ultimately lay down for in the playoffs. |

Brashear suspended for 6 games. 5 for his crushing "blind site" hit on Ranger Betts and 1 for a pregame skate altercation…
Too excessive?
Seems so to me, given that a guy can swing a stick at another skater and rarely get penalized. Harsh penalty imposed just because the injury suffered.

They're inconsistent at best. Brashear got that much because he's a goon, plain and simple. Any other player gets 1-2, if anything.

Eulogy: Remembering the 2008-2009 Calgary FlamesThus, it isn't with sadness, but with hope that we, the friends of the Calgary Flames, look into the future. We remain confident in Daryl Sutter's sunny disposition and indisputable financial acumen, and we know that many great deeds still lie before us as the Flames once again confirm the answer to that ancient and vital question: what is the difference between the Flames and a training bra?
A training bra, of course, has two cups.
