That's true. Datsyuk is a great 2-way player... however, I see +/- as more of a team stat. Regardless, how awesome are some of these matches? Montreal vs Bruins... The battle of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh vs Philly... and for the first time since the days of the Oakland Seals, two Californian teams have met in the playoffs, San Jose and Anaheim! I'm very excited.

Oops. I knew a girl who's last name was Lindstrom, must of mixed it up! Here's the draft lottery chances for those interested. It'll be done live on Tuesday, Versus in the States, TSN in Canada. Personally, even though they are divisional rivals, I'm rooting for Colorado. Tavares would make a good heir to Sakic.

I for one, am against re-releases with bonus tracks (and best-ofs with new tracks). Forcing your fans to dish out cash for something they already once did is an insult. I am, however, not opposed to b-side/rarity/etc compilations, like Dylan's Bootleg Series or Nirvana's terrible "With the Lights Out" box set .

How hilarious is it that Boston and Montreal meet... AGAIN!?!

I'm so stoked. It's been awhile since I could actually enjoy the playoffs this much. The Blues are beating the Avs at the time of this posting, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say they'll get 6th. (EDIT: as per usual, my prediction was correct, Blues clinch 6th place.) East: Boston over Montreal in 6. Washington over Rangers in 6. New Jersey over Carolina in 5. Pittsburgh over Philly in 7. I could see this series going either way. West: San Jose over Anaheim in 7. Anaheim is so hot right now, I think they're the most dangerous team in the bottom 4 of either conference. Detroit over Bl

The Blues have a good team, I really underestimated them this year, probably because I'm unfamiliar with a lot of their roster. However, Chris Mason is a good goalie, former Prince George Cougar. I'm rooting for them, I'd like to see them over the Jackets in the first round... Just glad Anaheim lost, the Ducks are hot right now, though I'm skeptical of how long that will last, maybe they can take Detroit or San Jose out? Horay 300 posts. I'm pretty sure that beats last year. If someone wants to start a playoff topic, I won't be opposed and will lock this one.

America is not the world.

Was Osama a writer for The Lone Gunman?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

HORAY! THE CANUCKS CLINCHED THE NORTH WEST! 13 points back from the top in January, and today they beat the Avs to win the North West. Let's take this opportunity to read our predictions from the start of the season and remark. I was just reading the first page and looking at some of the predictions... I thought for sure this would be the year for Phoenix to turn things around, maybe not. I'm surprised to see St. Louis do so well, considering I had such low expectations. Did Sean Avery ruin Dallas? Maybe. It's strange to think that, the Stanley Cup was pretty much decided last year in the Wes

Yeah, wait, what?! How is that possible! Was Ben living a double life? Wouldn't the DI notice that he all of a sudden has a baby but has probably never even been with a woman? There is some time line issues that need to be resolved there, for sure. Questions/things that bug me the most: Faraday? Where are you?! We know the Swan is only in the planning stages (1977) but we've seen him in the Swan when it was being built. Rose? Bernard?! Any other surviving-survivors?! Where are they? Wouldn't they have been traveling along with Sawyer/Miles/Juliet/etc? Why was Dharma food being dropped in 200

Yeah but Widmore left the Island repeatedly, that's why he was banished. Maybe that's why he aged?

There is no "good" or "bad" in this show. It's all different perspectives. The mystery with Ben is not whether he's good or bad, it's what his motivations are. Are they to protect the Island like he claimed with Witmore? Or are his motivations purely about himself? Greed? Revenge? Power?

Agreed. Lost is the Sgt. Peppers of television. Nothing even comes close.

I got a PM from this person as well, with a link (I didn't open) from Russia.

I think Crosby wasn't ready to be captain and that's why he's being so "whiney" and "bitchy", he's doing his best to be a leader but he just doesn't know how yet. Maybe Bill Guerin can teach him a thing or two. Anyways, teams are signing a lot of NCAA players this season, due to changes in the CBA (something about players becoming UFAs at a younger age now?). As a Western Canadian the NCAA is kind of a mystery to me. Do any of you yanks know about Eric Walsky, Evan Oberg, or Matt Gilroy? The Canucks signed Walksy, are apparently going to sign Oberg, and are in the sweepstakes for Gilroy.

"Good Times & Good Brews with... Wilco"

That made me laugh out loud!

Yeah, I agree, I'd rather see my Canucks go against the Hawks or Flames too. Jeeze anyone see Sidney Crosby today? What a little cry baby.

Looks like CBJ may be up against the Red Wings in round one.... I really think a team like the Blue Jackets would match up well against the Wings, especially with Osgood playing the way he has lately.

Untrue fact. Actually, that's an outright lie. But that's just my opinion.

Not me, the only TV shows I ever watch are "The Beachcombers", "Trailer Park Boys", and "Kenny vs Spenny". I only own records by Anne Murray, Neil Young, and The Band. Anyways, I'm off to drink maple syrup flavoured beer. Oh and my favorite movie is "Bon Cop, Bad Cop", of course.

It's about time lamp posts started riding on humanity's coat tails and contributed to society!!!

Just one of those things that make you appreciate the time we have. Anyways, who is growing a playoff beard? Now that the Canucks have clinched I have started mine, it's not the best looking beard in the world, I blame my slightly Native ancestry for that but it's not going to stop me. EDIT: Tim Thomas is the man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC51RZNmQBw

Personally, I look forward to the New World Order.
