Looks like the Icehogs are settling for 2nd in the division. Rested a number of guys and trail the Marlies 3-0 in third.

Too bad since Gran Drapids lost it's finale to Charlotte opening the door for Rockford.

Oh well...they had a great year and it's on to the playoffs.

wow...3-2 Pens..

Now that was a PP! Talk about speed and pressure.

Fluery did everything possible to kill it himself, but it wasn't enough

Wow, anyone watching the Rangers/Pitt game?

Rangers just had one of the best minute + of power play time I have seen in a while. Tons of great chances and finally converted on like the 6th shot of the power play.

Just posted about that. That was impressive!

Makeup call?

The hook was bull...., but that x-check was nasty and unnecessary.

Oopsie...

K. Hayes to the box...feel shame.

Good...

I find myself pulling for the Pens...hope for a long series.

Besides, K. Hayes can go F' himself...with all due respect.

...and it looks like hostilities are picking up.

Could be an entertaining, long and nasty series.

That game was a complete gongshow.

I don't mind some of the key players getting the night off. What pisses me off is that Dent rolled with Carruth. The Hogs would have been better off with a cardboard cut-out of Darling zip-tied to the goal.

So much for wanting a division title...

The Oil getting the number 1 pick proves the draft lottery is NOT fixed...

...and I would suggest after this year, the draft lottery SHOULD be fixed.

Good grief....Edmonton getting another number 1 is just a waste.

How did THAT happen?

Forget the lottery. The NHL needs to take the four worst teams in the league and make them play a tournament for the top four picks in the draft. Run it in a round-robin style, then a first-place and third-place game to decide picks one through four. The winner of the tournament gets the #1 pick in the draft.

Bettman can run this tournament in a different city every year, in a city without an NHL team. Possibly in a place they would like to park an expansion team, or overseas as a "showcase" thing (like the NHL Premiere gimmick).

Haven't seen much of Carruth at all...so what you're saying is...Carruth probably doesn't have a high ceiling?

Carruth has an open 5-hole large enough to park a Buick in.

Jets & Ducks attempting to pound one another into dust. Whoever wins will be wounded at the rate they're going

Carruth seemed to inch past Simpson in the depth chart before Simpson was traded...though that really isn't saying much. Appears the Hawks most promising goalie prospects are overseas right now.

Unless Nilsson signs, it's just Namilov. That's it.

Good Jets goal with an assist from Kesler.

Can't believe the Oil gets the pick WTF...hot garbage...pretty bummed for Buffalo.
How many #1's do the Oil get before they call uncle on a rebuild.

Of course if Stan got that pick he'd trade it for Chelios or Lindstrom to prop up that third d pair...

Meanwhile the Pens came to play tonight...good game. I'm with ya Rob a nice long series there.

Jets up by 1 on the Ducks... Anyone else catch the classy move by Kessler on the head shot with the elbow in the first?

I've been in and out of this game...missed that one.

Vermette hasn't played because he was pretty worthless down the stretch. He hadn't played a meaningful game in a long time. I don't think he was ready for it.

Giggity!!!!!

Garbage win for a garbage team....perhaps the luckiest club in the league
