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

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 ****... 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.

Not a Bruins fans, but I\'ll cheer for them cause those damn bolts took out the caps (which i still can\'t believe they sweeped them....)
