You call it an accident. I call it justice.

I think Iginla will end up with Malkin and Neal. I'm fairly certain they're not too eager to break up Crosby's line, which is chewing up the league based entirely on speed and chemistry. So then you have first defensive pairings going out against Crosby's buzzsaw line, and you trot Neal-Malkin-Iginla out afterward and...  Word around here is that Bylsma is not going to touch the Crosby line, so yeah... he'll be more than likely on the Gneo line. |

Its not like Iginla wouldn't work well with Crosby. I believe they were line mates at the 2010 Olympics, with Jerome feeding Sid the puck for the game winner in the gold medal game. Still, I don't see a reason to break up Crosby's line at this point of the season. Having Malkin as your centre isn't much of a drop off.

Well, fire sale has officially begun in Calgary. Bouwmeester trade doesn't look good, especially if St. Louis fails to make the playoffs and the first round pick gets moved to next year.

In more Calgary news, the Leafs were given permission to talk to Kiprusoff. Given the history between the Leafs and Flames when it comes to trades, I fully expect Calgary to get fleeced...again.  |

I really, really hope Toronto trades for Kipper. As an Oiler fan that's a win-win. Both the Flames and the Leafs get worse. |

The last big trade was more like the Flames and the Leafs exchanging each others garbage.
I really like Reimer, so I kinda hope we don't get a 'real' goalie. The Leafs issue isn't goaltending, it's letting 40+ shots go through every fucking game.

Canucks just picked up Derek Roy for a 2nd rounder and a prospect defenseman. Probably means we'll be holding on to Luongo till Summer I would think.

If they want to make any kind of a playoff push they need to move him now. They are running 2 full lines of AHLers and skating fists, and they can't score for shit. Kesler back will help, but won't be enough.

That's just a perfect example of how the NHL has too many teams in the playoffs.  |

Gonna say, hockey lost me as a fan. I keep trying to give a fuck now that the playoffs are rolling around but I just don't anymore. While the nhl was off fucking itself I started paying a bit more attention to the nba and mlb, not that I actually enjoy watching those sports played that much but this is also a really really good year for the uefa leagues so I find my sports attention has just adjusted to not needing to care about hockey at all.
A deep Sharks playoffs run will probably at some point bring me back to tracking things from afar but I don't think I'll ever be the fan I was and I doubt I'll be the one buying and organizing trips to games ever again.

People, the end times are upon us. The Leafs are in the playoffs. Do not worry. Kevin Lowe will continue to safeguard humanity by ensuring the Edmonton Oilers do not make the playoffs. Ever again. Thus diverting the possible apocalypse arising from a non-shitty Leafs team gaining access to the playoffs, for it is only when the Toronto Maple Leafs, the New York Islanders, Columbus Blue Jackets and the Edmonton Oilers make the playoffs that the world comes to an end (due to a tear in the fabric of space-time from the sheer impossibility of such an occurrence). |

Now that was a win the Canucks needed to make than fans feel a little more at ease. Would have been 3 - 0 if not for a goofy bounce off the ref.

Yep...that was as good as they have looked all season. How much do you love Roy? Barely knew his name when they traded for him, but wow he fits in well.

I love the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Watched the Kings vs. Blues last night - that was a extremely well played game by the Blues. They came out to bruise the Kings and Quick was the only reason that game didn't get out of hand. And then he did this in OT:  LEAFS TONIGHT YAY |

I just can't believe that wasn't Luongo or Schneider.

My boys LOVE hockey and will drop what they are doing to watch games when they are on and request to watch highlights in the mornings.
I was talking about playoffs last night and asked Logan if the Leafs could win. His answer was an emphatic "No Daddy, no Toronto Maple Leafs. No! No! No!". I asked him who was going to win and started listing teams and he chose Chicago.
So there you go, my 2.5 year old has picked the Blackhawks to win.

Smart kid. I wouldn't be surprised by a 1 vs 1 this finals. Penguins vs Blackhawks. Hopefully Crosby would be back and it would be an epic 7 game series.
The Bruins look like shit and I wouldn't be surprised if they lost to the Leafs. Somehow I think they'll claw it out in 6 or 7 then lose in the second round.

Anyone else see the hit on Eller last night? Is it just me or does the video show that it was kind of a wierd glancing blow and not delibrately dirty by the Ottawa player? Funny they only had a cpl of angles of it which don't really show it all that well.
Also, thank you Maple Leafs for being the Maple Leafs.

The Gryba/Eller hit didn't look dirty because it wasn't dirty.
Edit: Some people will call it dirty. We call those people "Montreal fans."

This. It was a clean hit on a poor bastard who received a suicide pass from an idiot. |

If he hadn't smashed his face on the ice which resulted in the shock of blood, this wouldn't be a huge discussion today. I was watching the game and went 'oooooh' on the hit, then CBC zoomed in on the gush of blood from his face and THAT was horrific. The reaction is mostly to that I think. Prust called Maclean a "Bug-eyed fat walrus" today, so that was fun. |

Prust isn't wrong, but he and Therrien are being whiny bitches, really.
The only player to blame in this current whole fiasco is Diaz.
Though I'll give an assist to the equipment players wear. A lot of hockey equipment is in dire need of modernizing and taking advantage of modern materials to provide similar protection without being so damn large and hard, especially shoulder and elbow pads.
