On an NHL quasi-related note... the Hartford Wolfpack has been renamed the Connecticut Whale for those old school Whaler fans who hadn\'t heard yet...

Fun game last night between the Rangers and Devils

Stepan And McD looked really good. Boyle was a monster, I hope he will continue to play the physical game and use his size.

Love having the Boogeyman on the team although the 10 min misconduct call was total BS

Frolov looked great, Gabby was Gabby

Dubi looks like he really hit the gym in the off season. Hopefully they keep a few kids on the team. Should be a fun season

It\'s pre-season...  The Rangers will suck as per usual and miss the playoffs... Brodeur is getting older, but he\'s got the record and The Rangers have the Queen in net...

I can\'t believe hockey hasn\'t been discussed in here since september! Piss poor!

Anyways, I have to vent on the Blackhawks.  What the hell has happened?  They win the cup last year, have a whole musical chairs done in the off season, and now we are left with a team that can\'t gel on the ice.... that can\'t win games.  Its honestly just plain old sad and pathetic.  

I know there are a lot stat nerds out there, and I am sort of curious how the winning team has fared the next year.  Right now, Chicago is 26-20.   Not what you\'d expect for the defending stanley cup champs.  Because most of their games wins and losses have been sloppy.

My 2nd team Rangers seem to be having a decent season.  I tend to see more Rangers games than Hawks games just because of the MSG network.  I will also add, pretty impressed with the marketing by the NHL this year.  Between all the hype on HBO with 24/7 (which i absolutely loved) and the actual winter classic, to supreme coverage on VS, I almost feel like NHL is making a big comeback.  

On a side note, locally speaking, if anyone wants a cheap fun nostalgic time, I really suggest going to a CT Whale game.  Went in the beginning of this month, and I had a complete blast.

Me too.

Everything from the editing to the music selection to the voice over by Liev Schreiber to Sidney Crosby\'s ugly moustache to my personal fav--the swearing of Capitals Coach Bruce Boudreau....it was phenomenal.  

I would almost like a behind the scenes playoff edition.

Haven\'t really had anything to be excited about in hockey all year.  Aside from the last handful of games, the Devils have looked like absolute dog shit...  We can\'t score and our defense seems to have forgotten how to play...  That\'s what happens when Lou lets our top players go during free agency...

Today is the big "hockey day in america" for the nhl.   In case some of you didn\'t know ;)

Some great games on NBC starting at 12:30.   Flyers at Rangers first.  3:30 will be Penguins at Blackhawks.  

Then on VS, at 6pm, its the heritage classic outdoors...Montreal vs. Calgary.

No hype about the playoffs yet??? COME ON.

Blackhawks need to come from behind in this series.  Vancouver is going to be hard to beat, no doubt.  Just hoping the hawks can come home and win.  It would be highly embarrassing to have the reigning stanley cup champs be ousted in the 1st round.

my back up team, the capitals are killing the rangers.  you can tell ovechkin wants the cup this year.

SkyePrizm, at least the hawks made it to the playoffs....that would have been REALLY embarrassing.  vancouver is killing it though....i dont think any team would be embarrassed to lose to them.  definite favorites to win the cup.  if anyone in the west is going to beat them though, it would be the hawks.

im hoping my sabres can pull off another win tonight.  thanks to pronger not playing we definitely have a shot.  theyve had an incredible run for the past few months just to make it into the playoffs after being in 13th/14th place the first half of the season.  this has been one of the must fun seasons to watch and the playoffs are going to be even better!  

im also thankful to have some entertaining sports to watch.  definitely sucks to be a mets fan when the mets\' season is over while there is still hockey going on :(

Last year was a dream for those of us in Chicago.  But after dismantling the team due to salary cap issues, the bar was still set high for them this year.  After a disappointing regular season, it has become quite apparent that their lack of physical play and net presence has been their undoing so far after the first two games against the Canucks.  You can get away without it during the regular season, but not in the playoffs.  They are a whole different animal.  Without someone standing in front of Luongo and blocking his view of the play and getting inside his head, which Byfuglien did last year, I don\'t see much hope for the Hawks.  Maybe it\'s time to dress 6\'8"  260 lb. defenseman Jon Scott and shackle him to the post in front of Bobby Lou.  And if anyone messes with him, he can pulverize their faces into chopped liver (check out his fight with LA\'s Kevin Westgarth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=985bd9nTDGA). It certainly couldn\'t hurt.

Damn Sedin Twins and the Vancouver Canucks proved to be just too much for the Blackhawks.  Though, I have to say....  Crawford played one hell of a game in goal last night.  I can\'t blame him for the loss.   Defense completely collapsed and there wasn\'t much for him to do.  

From here on out, cheering for the Caps to go all the way.
