damn, fuckin Canucks are out.   They lost 6/7 down the stretch! what a fuckin joke. They gotta make some major changes this summer

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

I thought they had a chance when Burrows scored.  But they werent playing hard enuff 2/3rds of the game!  that has been the problem in the whole last stretch of the season!

I think it starts with the captain.  Nazzy's contract is up and he needs to gtfo.   Morrison is in the same boat, get the whole WC Express outta here for real. 

Make Mitchell or Kesler captain, they got the HEART at least to try and lead.

With that being said, the problem has always been with scoring.  Even when they played with heart.  So free up some cap space (nazzy, mo, etc.) and get sum power forwards.  Then this team will be set..

RIP 07-08 season.

Can't believe my Caps got the 3 seed. I was worried that all those teams above us would win out. We should beat Philly I think.

good predictions, i agree with most of them, but I think calgary will surprise san jose, iginla is a better player under pressure than tornton he can score the big goals, and watch out for phaneuf and tanguay they'll hit hard. Everybody around my says that nashville can beat detroit i dont know about that, detroit is a pretty rounded team, with only one weak link, the goalie is finish and yall know goaltending is the name of the game

I think Detroit will win pretty easily ; like i said, i see them win the series in 6. But Dan Ellis (Nashville) is a very good goaltender. He can win a game by himself.
