The NHL playoffs begin tonight - who's your pick? The team matchups are:
West
Detroit / Nashville
San Jose / St. Louis
Calgary / Vancouver
Dallas / Colorado
East
Tampa Bay / NY Islanders
Montreal / Boston
New Jersey / Philadelphia
Toronto / Ottawa
I say Detroit in the West vs. New Jersey in the East. Detroit takes the cup in 6.

Boston and Detroit for the Stanley Cup. It would be nice to have two of the originals in the finals. Give it to Detroit.

Do you know the way to ...

Ok, 9-year season ticket holder for San Jose, here... Gotta back my guys. Let's Go Sharks! Over the Blues in 5. We're just taking one series at a time. We'll worry about our opponent from the East when we get there. Game 1 v. St Louis will be on ESPN Thursday at 7pm Pacific time. I know, that's past bedtime for most people on the East Coast. You don't know what you're missing! (But then again, the Eastern games all start before I get home from work...) For those of you who will be watching, you'll love Jonathan Cheechoo, #14. The guy weebles and wobbles, but doesn't fall down! And usually ends up scoring at the end of it.

Played? I used to skate down the street to an outdoor rink near my house. I was too little to care about the damage it caused my blades. I will put in another plug for "Miracle". Great sports flick.

Miracle disappointed me - but I loved Mystery Alaska!

Hockey? Is that even played in the U.S.? 
RandomName - Yes, surprisingly. It is televised, too, and apparently some people WATCH it. Imagine soccer on ice, except that the offsides rule is less socialist.

You must be an alumnus of Denver, Minnesota-Deluth, or maybe even Maine, because I can't imagine CubDave had the SAT scores to be a BC grad! Plus, if you had gone to BC you'd be in the Boardroom, not the BOL room.

Not all Eagle Alumni are in the Boardroom, although my office is across from the Boardroom. Does that count?

That's close enough to the Boardroom, CelticsPride; it's just that not many college hockey teams have coaches, as BC does, that demand that players also have SAT scores at least in the 1400 range. Even their Canadian players were smart. They play smartly; they pass the puck smartly; they are smart.

I take back my comment about hockey scores being higher than soccer. With two hot goalies in net, nothing was getting through.
