Well, honour can be restored to the playoffs by having Vancouver and Detroit be eliminated as quickly as possible.  It'd be nice if Boston lost too, as their goonish behavior has turned me off of them.  Still, I'm going to enjoy Washington and Tampa.  It's a series I can watch without hating anyone.

I quite like Tim Thomas, but the rest of the Bruins are a disgrace. Lucic's hit yesterday, Boychuk's boarding today, Ference giving the finger, then aiming at Halpern's head with the puck 20 meters away...

Imagine a Habs lineup with Markov, Gorges and Desharnais? Not to mention a certain Max Pacioretty, who had 4 goals and 2 assists in 3 games against Boston this year... Good going Chara.

Anyhoo. The boston goons will "play" the philly goons. Richards' asshattery against the Campbell bruins. I predict a few concussions and lots of broken teeth. Yay hockey!

LOL, Sabres.
:cry:  I was out at a bar right near HSBC Arena rocking my Andrew Peters jersey.  It was a sad, but typical, Buffalo sports night.

That's the best thing about being a Leaf fan; the hockey season has been over a long time ago.
Enjoyed watching our soccer team kick Edmonton ass last night. :D

You watched a North American soccer game?  That's pretty bad to begin with, but with hockey on?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

QuoteNHL sends Glendale $25 million bill for Coyotes' losses
34 commentsby Rebekah L. Sanders - Apr. 28, 2011 12:00 AM
The Arizona Republic


Glendale has until Monday to pay $25 million to the National Hockey League to cover this season's Phoenix Coyotes losses, according to a bill sent to the city Tuesday.

The documents, sent a week after the team finished its season in the playoffs, show that actual losses for eight months ending in March totaled $36.6 million.

Glendale promised the NHL last year that it would set aside $25 million from a utilities-repair account to pay team losses in exchange for more time to land a team owner. For months, the money sat untouched.

Glendale officials promised taxpayers at the time that the city would not have to pay the money if it found a buyer. Later, officials said the buyer would cover the expense.

But so far, Glendale's deal with team buyer Matthew Hulsizer remains incomplete as the city seeks financing.

Glendale spokeswoman Julie Frisoni said the city would audit the figures. She said negotiations continue and the city hopes to close a deal soon.

My picks for the 2nd round:

Washington in 6
Philadelphia in 7
San Jose in 7
Vancouver in 6.

I was reminded that on today's date in 1996 the last Winnipeg Jets game was played. :cry:

on related news, I heard the Thrashers are just waiting to move to Winnipeg.

In other news, a former Quebec city general manager is threatening to sue the city over the arena deal.  Quebec's government is also investigating the deal to decide if it's legal or not.

I think Kansas city will get it's team soon :(

I posted that story two pages ago.  ;)

Kansas City isn't getting a team any time soon.  There is no ownership group in place.  There is no one willing to write a nine figure cheque to move a team there.

Regardless of what team moves to Winnipeg I sure hope they are called the Winnipeg Jets.
