I wish I had way more than I do so I could hire tasteless and artosis to cast the playoffs, "Nabakov is very important to the Islanders"...."Look at Kessel, he hasnt done anything threatening but I liked the way he cut into the middle, it forced the defenders to take notice of him and defend him as defenders are known to do"...ugh.

CBC's coverage team has me at odds. I like the idea of having hockey on the public broadcast, out of tradition, but the people involved are almost uniformly terrible. Friedman seems like the only guy who has anything interesting to say and then they fill out the team with terrible ex-hockey-players like Healy and PJ-fucking-stock. Guys who are remembered fondly for letting in soft goals and getting punched in the face.

I was sad when CBC lost the HNIC theme - but at the rate things are going, I'd be happy to see CTV take over the whole show.

what makes you think CTV is going to do any better? TSN is as mediocre as the CBC crew. The real problem is that as in most Canadian institutions you have an old guard that is way past its prime and only a string of funerals will move forward the state of broadcasting.

We have only a few players who played in the playoffs before, give them a period or a game or two to settle down.

I assure you it has nothing to do with that. The Leafs led the league with turnovers and giveaways. We have lacked any type of flow in a game for well over 2 months. It's the same thing that's plagued us all year and the forwards still aren't providing the d with the proper support.

PIT/NYI and BOS/TOR games right now are fairly unintresting. Only one good team on the ice in both. Hoping the SJ/VAN game is better

Oh that series will deliver. The Leafs really need to get their shit together or else it will be a clean sweep.

Leafs playoff tickets are going to become much more affordable for the two home games. Which is both good and bad. Its good because normal people might actually watch a live game. Its bad because normal Leaf fans will then continue to allow MLSE to gouge the crap out of them for no reason at all.

Um no they won't. Regardless of the product/series they're still going to go for a ridiculous amount. Even if it's resale from season ticket owners. Normal people? ._. Look even when we re-sale our tickets to the games we don't want to go to we get a substantial amount. Still the highest in the league.

EDIT: We really do need another team in this city.

The Sharks announcers (I think it's them I'm seeing on CSN feed on NBC sports) are rather entertaining. And just now calling the green men "the 40-year old virgins" and posing the question of whether they live in their parents' basement.

Yeah, the Sharks announcers are the best thing going for the team. They're some of the most entertaining in sports.
