I'm just glad the Kings are out.

I'm just glad the Kings are out.

They aren't.  The Flames and Kings play tomorrow and the Kings are only two points back.  A Kings win and it comes down to the final day.  Winnipeg still also has to clinch the last spot.  All three are decent teams, but decent means that anything could happen on any given night with any two teams involved.  I'll consider the Kings to be done when the little "e" is next to their name in the standings.  Until then, everyone is going to be on notice.  I've never seen a squad so unfazed by adversity. 

Let me rephrase that: I'm glad I won't have to eat crow about my original post.

Who do the Rangers want to play in the playoffs? If they want to play the Sens, then they better let us beat them tonight!

Personally, I'd prefer to avoid the Bruins, but we're the best team and it shouldn't matter.  Gotta take care of business. 

And, much akin to your beloved Mets, the business of arranging offseason workouts will begin shortly.

And who are you a fan of, Mr. Blue PA?

Much much less stress involved in giving up on my team halfway through the season than watching them crash and burn in a blaze of disappointment

Let us pray that the Senators and Bruins get in.

I'm rooting for the Jets in the west and the Capitals in the east. Love old NHL teams (I'd love to see the Nordiques and Whalers return) and the Jets just have a fun team. I love Alexander Ovechkin, too. He's my favorite non-Devils player in the league. What a freak of nature.

Can we talk about PK Subban not getting disciplined for that slash on Stone though? Broke the dude's wrist. There has to be at least one game for that. I know he got a misconduct to begin with, but you can't just break a dude's wrist like that.

It's not a headshot or a clear intent to injure.  A bit vicious, but players go for the stick slash all the time and try to get away with it.  A major and a game misconduct is enough for this type of thing. 

Are you kidding? A slash like that isn't clear intent to injure? There's a huge difference between an aggressive slash and what Subban did. It's whatever though, Erik Karlsson leveled the living fk out of Beaulieu.

That Capitals/Islanders series is going to be the best playoff series of the year. A lot more fun to watch than whomever ends up in the final.

Now i'm even more stoked on a Caps/Lightning final. Which won't happen.
