It all begins again tonight. Tonight Philadelphia plays Pittsburgh, Detroit plays Nashville and Los Angeles plays Vancouver. I think hockey has one of the better playoff systems of any sport.

Bummed the Stars collapsed at the end of the regular season to miss the playoffs again. I don't think they would have gone very far had they made it, but you could tell the DFW area was really getting into hockey again. Pretty impressive season overall considering they had one of if not the lowest payroll and no owner coming into the season.

Joe and the new owner will have to look to bring in some quality depth as well as re-assess some of the veterans. I do think they have stocked up some nice, young talent to build around. Hopefully with that and the ability to spend some more they be playoff regulars for years to come and back in contention for the cup. Western Conference playoffs are going to be brutal, in a good way.

As for this years playoffs, pretty amazing what Hitch has done to turn around the Blues.

The Penguins lead the Flyers 3-0 at the end of the first period.

Too bad both teams can't be eliminated in the first round.

Can't decide who I detest more: Sid the Kid and his teammates, or the bullies from Broad Street. Let's Go Caps!

Blackhawks start tonight, don't have much of a chance to win the Cup this year but hope they at least make a decent run.

I'm very excited to see how the Blues/Sharks game goes tonight. This is getting to be a bad-blood series like OTT/NYR and PHI/PIT.

Did anyone see Roman Polak destroy a Shark on Saturday after the horn? To quote Ken Hitchcock, "You don't want to open the Roman Polak door. Whoah."

Hell of a way to stave off elimination by Vancouver. Even more impressive was the Penguins scoring 10 goals in an elimination game. Will be really interesting to see if either team can come back from being down 3-0.

I really hope the Blues can pull their heads out of their asses and play the kind of hockey that got them here. Having Pietrangelo back should be a boost, but knowing that Halak isn't available could go either way.
