If you're being sarcastic, let's see Idaho get an NHL franchise.
I would have agreed until last night. Sabres fans came to Columbus and were beyond obnoxious, not only in the arena, but at bars and restaurants in the Arena District.
Until Mike Priest and Scott Howson are fired, there will be no progress. We’ve wasted Nash for nine years and burned Mason out ( just as we did Marc Denis.) Unless we get real help, Johansen and John Moore are walking into a buzzsaw.
Here's a link to the list of most SC winnning teams (psst, the Wings are #3 with 11 SC wins) ...

GO REDWINGS!!!
Here's to a great series of hockey playoff games.......
Yes, what a tragedy. He was head and shoulders apart from everyone for the first 40 games. I agree, the pens won’t win the cup without him, however, I am impressed with how they’ve done missing some big guns. A gritty team.
We have the mighty ECHL in Idaho, where all but 3 teams make the playoffs.

Let's hope they aren’t a big disappointment in the post season again. Seems to be getting to be a bad habit with them....
Here’s a good breakdown on the Sharks - Kings series!

Guess the losers will be hitting the waves instead of the links!

Plus, I flat out despise the Flyers!
Nashville can win, but they are going to have to play much better on special teams if they hope to stop the Ducks. But they do have the defending Stanley Cup goalie!

Here’s a good breakdown on the series.

Montreal can give Boston a good fight - if Carey Price shows up! I still remember seeing him shut down my Hershey Bears in the Calder Cup finals, when he was 19 years old!
Its a good analysis. Despite the success of chicago and philadelphia last year with “no name” goalies, I am still old-school in my belief that you have got to have a good goalie to go all the way. Miller was not outstanding this year, but even at his worst, he is still solid night in and out.
Get traffic in front of Bobrovsky and shots on net and he will easily give up 4+ goals a night.

But the Coyotes can knock the Wings out if their goalie plays like he can. Bryzgalov is awesome, but he will need a lot of help from his defensemen to hold Detroit back.
LOL! I remember when that happened!
Too funny!

And the defense is ready for the shot blocking they'll have to do in the playoffs. It's just a question of when Sid returns.
