If the game goes past 2 OT's they will use a shootout to pick a winner because Rexall Place's Ice is booked for a Lacrosse game at 8pm (hockey at noon). We could maybe but unlikely see a PLAYOFF game go to a shootout. Is your blood boiling yet? just another sign that hockey has no business in alberta. time to shut down both teams and send them to seattle until the albertans riot and expel the parasites who currently own those franchises. | ||

Hey, the Flames aren't in THAT poorly managed anymore. The Oilers though... ya that might work. | ||

Best depth and best development system with the best talent scouts. No shock to anyone that Detroit always does good | ||

STL has nothing to play for. They can lose every game and finish 2nd at worst. Miller will pick up the pace come playoff time. I think he's coasting to avoid injury. Also he doesn't know the western conference shooters as well as he knew the easts so there's that too. | ||

His team has actually 0 defensive depth, if you watch the games everyone outside of Kronwall is a 3rd pairing type.

Nothing was done except a hail mary to get Suter and a valuable first round pick traded away for Quincey -- a guy theyll let walk in the FA because he's that awful. In the meantime the people who are actually driving this teams playoff push -- Nyquist, Tatar, Jurco, Gelndening -- would have stayed down in the AHL for another year because room had to be made for Mike Samuelson and Bertuzi and Dan Cleary -- AFTER he already signed somewhere else! Holland only looks like a genius on the background of Canadian team GMs. | ||

I am not sure if its just some random button you press and turn of your skills, look at Raask. The guy is still killing it, I am not sure I'd want to enter the playoffs with a goalie for the preceding 2 weeks has had a 4 GAA. | ||

Holland only looks like a genius on the background of Canadian team GMs. firstly, i can declare any one over rated just by saying.... "Bobby Orr is better than God". well according to that comment Orr is now "over rated". on a more serious note, Bowman won't work for morons... he'll leave and only allow himself to be put in a great situation surrounded by a top notch management team. now that Bowman is an old man he does not edit himself the way he used to in his more competitive days. Bowman has stated he thinks Holland is a good GM, his actions reflect his public comments. if you think Bowman's thoughts on "Holland as GM" were not considered by Red Wings upper management when Holland was promoted... then you're dreaming in technicolour. Bowman's input was huge. His input is huge every where he goes. 17 years now as GM .. i wonder how many teams have won more playoff games than the Red Wings in the past 17 years? | ||

and who is in Chicago's upper management team? and who is the GM of Chicago ? who do you think is really running the Chicago Blackhawks.  LOL. if Ken Holland is good enough for Bowman he is good enough for me. but, he might not be as good as Bowman. Scotty Bowman would fix Ovechkin's little red wagon in about 6 months. | ||
