Mason has been amazing to me. Really have fallen in love with him. I fully expect him to be traded because of it.
- Flyersgod

Mason's been exactly what we needed: a stable, consistent, reliable goalie. He wasn't expected to be the next Hasek, he was expected to make the saves he's expected to make and come up with some big saves from time to time. He's done that, and he earned that extension.

I see the Bruins as the clear-cut favorite, going against one of Philly/Pitt/NYR in the ECF because it's fairly wide open. But when it comes to LA/Anaheim/St. Louis/Chicago, I can't see the SCF going longer than 6 games.

The Rangers are my dark horse team. I hate them a lot, but they will be a tough playoff matchup because of their style. They finally have some scoring and a decent PP to go along with defense and goaltending. Plus, Staal has really bounced back.

Dreger tweeted that the Sens are exploring a Jason Spezza trade.

i'm exploring what to have for a late breakfast. i think frosted rice krispies are in order.

That scares me. Homer loves centers.
- Flyersgod

Injury prone, soft and slow.

I will be happy to see another team pick him up if something does down. These kind of rumors come up every time near the deadline though. Just the media boys trying to gain viewers.

Im hoping its a big dud of the day and they are sitting there with nothing to talk about.

I'd like to see St. Louis myself. I have always liked Backes, and Miller has been a good soldier on a poop team for a long time. I hope they take it, but any team coming out of the West will be beat up.

STL has been my "Western"/"Second" team since Pietrangelo came up. Love him.

Heres to hoping Callahan reups with NYR on a Richardsesque type of deal. Take your pick Mike or Brad

This refrain has been chanted here a few times, but I'll repeat it.

If Homer was adamant against trading Coots and/or Schenn in a deal for Weber, I think they'll be Flyers for a very long time.

He was adamant about not trading them both in the same deal, apparently.

Agreed 100%

Good point. Whoever comes out of the West could be in tatters

I really look forward to those late night western conference playoff games. I love being a night Temple Owl!

Agreed, they seem to have it all figured out. That said, there are 5 powerhouse Western teams that could all beat any of the others.

I don't think that becomes an issue until you buy his jersey.

My jersies...

Giroux (3 of them)
Lindros (2)
Pronger
Hatcher
Lappy
Richards

I just look at them and cry.

I worry about their offense a bit. They don't have that true #1 center.

Have to be careful with guys that play the game with such a hard style.

Even M Richards, and Kesler and starting to show signs of decline imo.

and hopefully they'll beat the poop our of one another on the way to the final, and the remaining team will be decimated, just like it used to be back in much of the 80s and 90s for the east. meanwhile, edmonton would waltz into the final. still pisses me off.

Man me too. I get up for work at 5am and drive 80minutes to get to the job site... And I still have a tough time going to bed before midnight.

Just put your face in the pillow. 2 minutes, and you will be running with unicorns in dream land. Or so I tell my patients at the hospital.

Could be.

But like you said- that's gonna be great hockey with the likes of Ana/STL/LA/Chi all fighting it out
