Should be interesting to see Toronto up close however. 151 goals in 37 games is silly. 

The Leafs have 140 in 37. The Lightning have 154 in 37.

Oh. Yeah. Eyes flipped em. Right you are.

Still not shabby.

It maybe all over for the Habs, Price is out with lower body injury 😢

I'm still not seeing any detail on it besides the fact he won't on the road trip. 

It is a bit spooky. Niemi against Tampa on Saturday sounds like something to avoid watching.

Some mystery incident involving Bobrovsky has him missing the game tonight. Lots of speculation and little in the way of facts.

Blue Jackets: Sergei Bobrovsky will not play Thursday night after 'incident'

The news spread quickly, just as the Blue Jackets were about to get on the ice for their morning skate Thursday at Nationwide Arena.Sergei Bobrovsky,

My team is so, so horrible right now.  Just a complete lack of awareness and effort. 

I was kind of excited when Peter Chiarelli was brought in.  He never was an Oiler, so he had that going for him.

Now, I see why Boston fans laughed at Edmonton when he was signed.  What a moron.

It's really hard being a lifelong diehard fan of one of the worst run professional sports teams in existence.

Not NHL, but...

Started to get into hockey couple years ago and loving it.  Even got the wife watching.  Becoming huge Blues fans.  This year didn’t look good at turn of the year, but on a roll right

[nevets88]

Sometimes watching professional athletes practice is more fun than the actual competition.

For a meaningless game, I'm glad I got out of the office to watch the Habs-Leafs last night. 

Aside from the Poehling hattrick and shoot-out winner for Montreal, it was also Bob Cole's last broadcast on Hockey Night In Canada.

To me, Bob Cole sounded like the authentic voice of the sport. Any game he called seemed more official and more important just because it was his voice doing the call.

Really liking how the Blue Jackets are playing right now. 

Going to the game Tuesday night and will be in a suite thanks to the company that my buddy works for. 

It will be my first playoff hockey game.

Actually got the chance to see Game One. CBJ falls behind 3-0 and its here they go again. Then the game totally turns around.

I'm getting paroled tonight, so looking forward to see the rest of the playoffs.

The Columbus-TB series really has taken me by surprise (and many other folks as well I'm sure). CBJ has really ramped it up and the Bolts look almost resigned to getting swept.

Playoff hockey is just the best.

Was that game any good?

Bolts didn't want to pack it in and really made a game of it. I liked it, sitting on the couch.

Not a bad choice for your first.

It was a blast. Great back and forth game, we were getting pretty nervous in the 3rd though, wasn't sure if they'd be able to hold off basically an all out attack by Tampa for a full period but somehow they did.

The view from my seats before the game

[mcanadiens]

Glad to hear it.

That's the type of view I like to have when I go to a game. You can see pretty much everything from there. Down low, you lose too much of the near boards on the ends.

It still blows not having my club in it, but the locals are giving me something to watch.

Watched part of game 6 of the Bruins/Leafs series and I remembered why I don't watch playoff hockey unless my team is in it. The officiating is atrocious (second season "rules" are dumb).

[mcanadiens]

Well this whole thing is going in the least attractive way possible.  I'd really prefer not to see the Bruins win The Cup, but that freaking Rask guy is just too damn much.
