I'm feeling good! They are totally playing with house money at this point, so I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the games.

They can get a day or two of rest after tonight. The first round is gonna be fun.

Just saw the Johnson hit by Pateryn. Ugly.

Great day for Hakstol too. Gets in the playoffs, then gets to watch a team he constructed win the National Championship.

Datsyuk is headed to Russia after the playoffs. Detroit's going to have to deal with a $7.5mm divot in their cap, unless they can Pronger his deal off to a budget team

I've been convinced that they were going to choke down the stretch, especially after Toronto the other night. But there are so many great story lines about people stepping up, Ghost Bear, Simmer, the entire 4th line...playing for Ed...but to me (regardless of getting in-although it supports his case) that Ron Hextall is GM of the year. What he has done in a short window to retool a team that was laden with horrible contracts; bringing along youngsters at his pace and sticking to his guns to not become desperate; actually being shrewd with his draft picks. It's just been a Herculean effort. Way to go, Hexy! You get my vote.

Yeah. He says he didn't realize the cap implications when he signed it, if he did, he would have only signed year by year. Apparently the team had to beg him to return this year.

Nice, feign cap ignorance. 😉

And thanks again for the help yesterday. That job was one pain after another. Open up the tv and find no power cord - back to the store. Then the locked remote. Ugh.

"I started slashing the boards," Simmonds said about his bench reaction to Bellemare's goal with 58 seconds left. "I think that's probably my new celebration when we win. It felt unbelievable."

Actual days to rest and maybe even have an actual practice. Lock them all in dark rooms with intravenous fluids and therapeutic massage.

I didn't even that guy was scott stevens. Man he looks different. Can I say I like his analytical side?
- Just5

Yes, you may. Especially since he actually gives Flyers players credit when due. I'd like to hate him. I can't.
