I guess it's time for you to rekindle your love for Sports bar in a different province.

CBC is on their way out as a hockey network.  They've failed at every turn, and there's no real incentive for them to succeed.

Is it me or are NHL athletes more likely to sport a beard than any other sports?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It's the playoffs.

You mean you don't have a playoff beard? I'm starting to look like an Hobo here.

Even though the Penguins are still in I don't really follow the NHL all too much.

I think that beard comment gave that away.

Hard to say.  They certainly had troubles with Anaheim.  They'll be against a divisional opponent next round, and they're miles better than either of the East teams.

If we look back to 2007, the Wings were knocked out by Anaheim in six hard-fought games, Ducks then going on to all but sweep the Senators. Last year, the work of knocking out the Ducks had already been done by the Stars, who were then beat pretty solidly by Detroit. This year, the Wings did it themselves, in seven.

I think the Ducks is the team that is the absolute worst match for Detroit in the entire league, I'm impressed with them beating Anaheim, people were saying they were having an off-year.

Hey Beeb!

Bettman stated he'd rather see the Coyotes end up back in Winnipeg than go to Southern Ontario.  :thumbsup:
