Quite possible....NBC wouldn't like it but at least Chicago will get them an audience.

No doubt the networks are begging for the GD Rangers or Pens..
How cool would that be to see the Sens playing for the Cup? Small market team that over came huge injuries this season.. only to lose to the Hawks in the Cup Finals.. yep. Like that story.

If the Sens make the Stanley Cup finals, the league should just hand over the Jack Adams award to MacLean right before the start of game one.

Sens took apart a talented Habs club. Took them apart!!! They have the perfect balance on that team. Grit/size/scoring.. and oh yeah.. a vezina caliber net minder.

I just caught that!

I'm on fire today!

No sweat. I didn't catch it but glad that the comedic relief was cat-tured by Unnamedsource.

I think most of the resorts down there are pretty nice so you should be A-Ok. The resorts absolutely cater to Americans and everyone who works there speaks English so if you aren't bilingual you'll still be okay.

One word of warning though, don't expect to catch any Stanley Cup playoffs while you are down there. I was there during the Hawks-San Jose series in 2010 and I was a nervous wreak, constantly checking the internet for updates.

Is that you Philco?!?

Or hawks and boston, too. Definitely hawks and pens as well. People might be sick of wings and pens. 3 times in 6 years they will probably get san jose against ottawa

No, but I'll tell him you asked.

I thonk its more of the Penguins are no where near as good as people think , they are a one trick offensive pony and exploited a very bad goalie in Nobokov , Anderson is a beast in net and the Penguins are very weak on defense.

No, but I'll tell him you asked.

Its amazing.. letting out a good "phuck it, phuck them, phuck the rangers just vents the soul and is good for the body.. ahhhhhh

Philco is a bad influence.

Hopefully your resort has better wifi than mine does/did. Or maybe you have an air card. Either way, enjoy the sun and fun and hope you can catch the games.

The Penguins are terrible at puck possession, bad puck possession teams don't win the cup anymore, unless the goaltending is phenomenal, which ain't happening in Pittsbrugh

I guess I'll find out the hard way.

That could very well be, but it just goes to show you how arbitrary Q can be. Toews is another player who has played hard but not been effective at scoring… why doesn't Q sit him?
- Q...argh

Toews does more than anyone on the team besides scoring, even if joking this is just a stupid way to make your point

Yeah, I get it. I guess I'm just used to a more balanced, unbiased viewpoint from the Wings blogger.

Make a compelling argument how the Red Wings will beat the Blackhawks 4 times in 7 games. The best 5v5 team in the league, best PK in the West, high-end scoring, incredible defensive depth, commitment to the system, 200 feet of hell on ice when the other team has the puck, solid if not great goal-tending. But picking the team that hasn't lost playing hockey once the whole season with a full lineup (which they will have starting game 1) to win a series is biased. Please don't come back
