NHL 2009-2010 Season

[Jaron]

Bye bye Kings!!!! HELLO WINGS

[PRC]

CANUCKS!

Good series by the Kings.. they're going to have a good team for the next few years.  Smyth won't be there much longer because of his age and the injuries he has sustained over the years but the rest of the Kings are looking good.  Doughty is going to be a Norris trophy calibre defenceman for a long, long time.

God damn it.

7 games :p

I am going to be watching tommorow's game with fear and dread.  The Caps have got to put people away man.  They were behind 2-0 in the first and then...they just couldn't come back so freaking frustrating.

At this point it has to be in the Caps head, what with blowing it at home. but then again i don't think the Habs have won at home in like 6 games. basically it's who chokes first. but i do think, one way or anotehr, washington is going through.

[Jacob]

A couple of nice saves by Lou there.

[Delirium]

Dammit, Capitals. I can't see any other team stopping Pittsburgh (season's #1 strategic objective) than Washington. Obviously that will be difficult if they can't beat the Habs.

[Grey Fox]

Go Habs Go.

Beating the Habs in 7 is not exactly a good sign.

Losing to the Habs in 7 is going to be worse.

I was pondering the fact that this season was really close in both conferences, almost all the teams were more or less in the race for the playoffs until really late, the way I recall it hasn't been that close since, well maybe never.

Anyway, it's not too far-fetched to think that this is in some way related to the fact that all the playoff series have been  close affairs with a silly number of overtime deciders, and the only one which wasn't was an upset.

Is this the salary cap really showing its effects, at the same time as a number of teams finished (or have come close to finishing) their rebuilding, like the Avs and the Kings? Or is there something else in the works? And how do you explain the Coyotes? Or the Flyers for that matter? Discuss.

Wow really?

[BuddhaRhubarb]

Like I said. Canucks in 6 games. Very entertaining series. Kings are a solid well coached young team.

Wow really?

I will not falter. Habs or death!

[Neil]

Well, dirty play allowed the Canucks to win.  Hopefully, whoever they face next will be able to stomp them out.

[Valmy]

I will not falter. Habs or death!

The Habs are my second favorite team so if disaster should strike...once I recover from my catatonic state of depression I will be rooting for them.
