Do you recon he will still go now that there has been a management change?

I doubt it now. But if Anahiem keeps on sucking, I think Ryan is a front runner.

^yeah.. I'm not too sure on that.

[Matrix XII]

Canucks rollin baby!

Back to form :)

[KomaWei]

New York Rangers will win the cup. Nuff said.

[Razorwing]

Turris to Ottawa for Runblad and a 2nd . Hmmm...

[Matrix XII]

That's an interesting deal. I'm sure the Coyotes are glad to be rid of that mess.

[Razorwing]

So the Anahiem deals are buzzing around..

As per @helenenothelen, ANA GM says Selanne and Koivu are only two untouchables on Ducks. Which means he'll listen on Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan.

NEW YORK -- The NHL called off plans Friday to realign and adopt a modified playoff format next season after the players' association refused to agree to the changes.

The changes were approved in December by the NHL's board of governors, with the league planning to switch from two three-division conferences to four seven- or eight-team conferences.

Ugh! WTF has happened in Leaf Nation the last 6 weeks. We went from 9 games over 500 to now 2 games below! WTF #FireWilson

[mikebiacsi]

Looks like another tight playoff race in the west. I still think the avs will make the playoffs tho :)

[rajputwarrior]

the west and east are crazy right now. my boys are terrible (tons of hope though!) but i saw them play in vancouver and they smacked'em!

you have a gem in landesgok though mike

[Razorwing]

Isn't it Landeskog? lol. This thread LIVES! lol. totally forgot about this thread.

[mikebiacsi]

Saw the highlights of the Rangers-Devils game from last night. 3 fights on the opening faceoff is definitely the way to start a hockey match :D

Landeskog has been awesome for us, as has Varlamov, certainly lots of promise for us :)

[mikebiacsi]

Boom! Beat the flames for the first time in a year and 5 odd months, and moved up to 7th in the process. (Y)

[Propheta Messias]

What a season! Who would've thought that teams like Florida, St. Louis and NY Rangers would be at the tops of their divisions or conference. It's been a really wild ride this year and has made for a very exciting season. Sad to see it coming to an end but also can't wait for the play-offs to begin. Wings fan here hoping to see a rematch with the Pens lol

[mikebiacsi]

Yeah it's been a crazy season. We'll have to sort some predictions out for the playoff's. Those are always fun :)

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Blackhawks V Predators for the West, Hawks in 6. New York V Pitt for the East, Rangers in 7.

Blackhawks win in 7 over the Rangers for the Cup.

For the non-fan version, same numbers but replace Blackhawks with the Blues.
