I don't raelly know about Detroit. Yes, they're a solid team, but you have to take their record with a grain of salt. Sure, they've won 57 games, but with this year's division-centric schedule, think of how many times they've played Columbus, Chicago, and St. Louis! I'm calling Dallas and Calgary in the West Final.

And in the East? Ottawa and New Jersey.

EDIT: Hasek's not going to be ready for the playoffs. Well, there goes Ottawa.

YEAH, I DIDN'T TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN PICKING DETROIT. IT'S JUST LIKE IN THE NBA. DETROIT HAS THE BEST RECORD IN THE EAST, BUT THEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE TEAM RECORDS IN THE EAST. YOU CAN'T CALL THE DETROIT PISTONS THE BEST TEAM IN THE NBA.

I really didn't like this year's schedule, honestly. I mean, it's one thing in a close division like the Atlantic, having the Rangers, Devils and Flyers playing each other every couple weeks, but in divisions like Detroit's, it's not as much fun to watch. I also didn't like that their weren't a whole lot of east-west games this year. Sure, it cuts down on travel time and that, but I would have liked to have seen Ottawa play Dallas, or the Flyers play Detroit more often.

So? I don't care who won. That was just an example. I would have liked to have seen more croos-conference games. There was, like, two weeks mid-season and that was it.

Well, you watch the tapes, duh

But seriously, what I'm worried about right now is that Montreal might not make it. Iff Atlanta beats Washington tonight and Pittsburg tomorrrow, Tampa beats Washinton tomorrow, and Montreal loses to New Jersey tomorrow, Montreal will get bumped right out. Now, that might seem like a lot of ifs, but it could happen.

And hey, if your prediction is correct, then tonight's Dallas-Detroit game will be a decent preview.

t only that it changes the competitive balance of the schedules so much, detriot schedule is 10 times easyer then the ones for any of the northwest teams. vancouver and minisoda would have both made the playoffs if they were in teh central division.

Exactly. Now, I don't think there are any teams in that shouldn't be, but I see your point.

DALLAS GOT F$CKING ROBBED BY THE OFFICIALS TONIGHT. MORROW CLEARLY SCORED A GOAL. HE KNEW, DETROIT KNEW IT, AND THE COMMENTATORS KNEW. THE REF BLEW HIS WISTLE BEFORE THE PLAY WAS OVER. ACCORDING TO THE NHL RULE BOOK THE GOAL COULD NOT BE ALLOWED. OF COURSE, HAD THE GOAL BEEN ALLOWED THE GAME WOULD HAVE ENDED IN EITHER A DALLAS VICTORY OR OVERTIME. YOU KNOW THE LEAGUE IS GOING TO TAKE SOME HEAT FOR THAT CALL.

Big deal, Dayv. There was nothing on the line anyway. How many times were Edmonton goals disallowed down the stretch? At least three times.

That's the way things go.

Of course, if Edmonton had missed the playoffs by a point, I would have been rank pissed.


EDIT: While we're here, award predictions? Calder? Hart? Vezina?

Bah, it wasn't a playoff game! And besides, the west is all set now! The only playoff questions now are first/second and seventh/eighth in the east

Dammit, the Avs weren't even trying last night against Edmonton. They had less than 20 shots on goal, and the defense was sketchy at best. That shorthanded goal in the 3rd was just handed to the Oilers on a silver platter as 3 players watched the puck go into the corner, get picked up and passed to Stoll for the goal. It's like they didn't even care about the game. Aside from Theodore, who is the only reason the Oilers scored 3 goals instead of like 7, the Avs don't look like they're ready for the playoffs. They're limping in with 3 straight losses.

I predict the Stars will win convincingly in game 1. After that, Sakic, Tanguay, and co. better get with it.

Woo, Devils with a BIG win. Taking the Atlantic Div. just like that when the Rangers should've clinched it months ago.

Man, now Devils-Rangers in the first round. Somewhat scary since the Devils have yet to beat them in the playoffs.

Hope this is the year. I can stick it in my friend's faces.
