The Swamp

Tough to make a hockey nickname out of what is already a hockey nickname, eh? The last one I had (in college) was Shaker. If you try to guess why, well, good luck. Thanks for the efforts, Zills. Looks great. Yeah, I was a more than a bit stumped when I got to yours. Standings after the first night:...

2013 Swamp NHL Playoff Pool is....

Just finishing up rosters now, full roll out in an hour...

Minutes apart both games done.

Steen (called it) with a G-I-F-T GIFT from Quick.

And as ugly as that was, the Hawks winner was that pretty.

1 more game to go.

travzilla

A little worried that CHI-MIN is going to slow to a crawl soon. Been non-stop back and forth and these guys just be f'ing exhausted right now.

travzilla

Scottie, how do you like Dean Brown doing play-by-play in the Wild game? Understated (almost to the point of blah), but compared to the hyper whack jobs doing most games, I kinda enjoy him. Not Millen though.

travzilla

How insane would playoff sudden-death 4on4 OT be? I think I would except it starting at double-OT, especially if it was a way to compromise with the TV-exec crowd who are pushing for shootouts (I just felt Scottie shudder from here)

travzilla

Brown (LA) and Steen (STL) in The Show Me State (did I get that right?)

Sabo wrote:I think the Wild are going to steal this game. Total hunch.

a steal it would be.

Good pace to OT in CHI-MIN so far. Wild with some chances early.

I'll take Seabrook and Koivu for OT winners.

HOW ABOUT 2 OT GAMES TO START NIGHT 1

Anyone else find the TNT font for the game score horrible? I've got it on HD on 50" and better than decent eyesight and I'm constantly guessing what the score. Right now it is 65-86 (i think) and I can easily see it as any combination of those numbers if I just flipped to it. (god I hope I'm no...

Kinda pissed off that I don't get the Western Conference series between Chicago and The Cult. And the only way I can get it is to call my TV service provider and purchase CBC-Ontario (which is in the friggin' east! Gak!) or watch choppy firstrowsports online. Anyway . . . let the real games begin! ...

Canada's new polymer $5 and $10 bills Most people I know don't like the polymers. Also, I do a lot of work in banks and I can tell you that the tellers flat-out hate them. I love 'em, but it's true that most people aren't fans. Everyone says the stick together (static cling on the plasticy part). i...

I think it was a very well written piece. Everything he said was exactly what needed to be said. ( and so articulate! You can't really blame him for not being a bigger star (not that anyone here is), but I think more than anything this will be remember more as the opening of the floodgates. From wha...

The Tim Tebow Era in NY . About Damned time. But is the Tebow era in the NFL over? Probably, right? So that means the Jets are stuck with the cap hit? WTF were they thinking signing him? I still say this was all on Woody Johnson, since the coaches never even put plays in place for him. Whatever,at ...

Tuesday much preferably, but just in case someone doesn't get to it in time, I'll let a late one or 2 slide in.

Pens in 6
Habs in 5
Caps in 7
Bruins in 4

Capitals over Penguins in East Final. Washington loses to Chicago for the cup.

I like Hawks, Wings, Sharks and Kings.

(except the leafs, they are a total mirage and are damn lucky there aren't another 35 games to go in the season). This is an excellent point, given that the Leafs tend to make some noise around early-to-mid season and then collapse throughout the final 25 games of any given season and inevitably mi...

Leafs -v- Habs? Oh my heavens above I hope this happens. Because that. Is. Hockey. Right. There.* This entire country will be glued to that. It will be nation-wide and incredible. But at the same time, a little insufferable too, right? I mean I don't think it's like espn-yankees-red sox insufferabl...

Also, Jets/Caps/Isles/Rangers play lately aside, how bad is the East? If Pittsburgh is in the finals having played more than 15 games it will be a miracle. The West though, whatever 7 series play-out there are going to be awesome to watch. I know they are feeding on each other, but I'm not ready to...

travzilla

With Crosby out and Malkin hurting, the Penguins may not be such a lock in the playoffs - not that I'd bet against them - just saying... Yeah that was assuming they're both good to go, which I think they will be. btw, Trav - are you going to set up the playoff scoring pool again. That has been a fu...

What a huge game tonight. Can't believe the Jets have got 13 of 14 possible points in their last 7 games, and have actually lost ground to the capitals in that time. Win or the season's done for the Jets. Even if they could sneak past Ottawa for 8th, A Penguins 1st round sweep would be the easiest s...

Going to my final game of the (regular?) season tonight. Glad these are still meaningful games, I'm paying way too much money to sit there and cheer for them to lose for a better draft pick. I get the theory, but don't know how people in Edmonton could put up with that year after year after year. C...

Last night was a great "man, what a stupid setup" moment for the Rangers. Toronto sitting 5th, Rangers in the mix from 6th through 9th, and best case scenario was an OT that pushes Toronto into locking up 5th so we can max out and still not get above 6th. I need Deleware back so he can ma...

That's more than the Jays can say. I'm a pretty big Jays fan, but also a pretty big "Toronto sports fan in misery" fan, so it hasn't been all that bad this year.

I like how Rembert Browne put it: This song will have its intended purpose, bringing people together, only if people of all races band together to make fun of Brad Paisley and LL Cool J.

Anyone watch Hanibal on NBC? I guess I went in with too high of expectations based on initial reviews, but I don't think it's going to be anything special.
