Discuss the combine, trade rumors, draft position, upcoming schedules, theories, why you find that NHL is not that bad of a sport, the awesome fights that break out on occasion, the retiring players, and any other news. Enjoy.

The NHL playoffs will be discussed in this thread. Thanks

Sidney Crosby is better then the great one at the same age. Ooooh yeaaah. BTW, I told you all the Pens would make the playoffs this year

[Freak]

And next year they'll be playing home games in Kansas City. Sad.

By the way: There's no combine in the NHL, the trade deadline has passed, draft position is far from finalized and/or relevant, and "NHL" is not a sport at all.

True that. If they went to Hartford I'd buy season tickets, but then I'd have to give them up when the city fails to support.

The Flames really need new coaches. Great team at home which I credit to the fans in the Dome but then pathetic on the road which I blame on the coaching. :play_ball:

Playoffs have been pretty good this year, Vancouver is out now so of course now Vancouver is no longer a hockey town till next season but my picks for the rest of the play offs are...

San Jose over Detroit (I hate Detroit)
San Jose over Anaheim

Buffalo over New York
Ottawa over New Jersey (NJ is too boring to watch)
Ottawa over Buffalo

Ottawa over San Jose in the finals.

Ottawa and Anaheim would be a good finals too though.

[Freak]

So far, I've picked all right winners. Woo ee.
