Back-to-back President's Trophies. I didn't think they'd do it this year. Incredible.

NHL.com calls it "Second Term."

CANUCKS WIN! LOUNGO GETS THE SHUTOUT! Back-to-back President's Trophies. I didn't think they'd do it this year. Incredible. Only one thing better than this....

Nothing would please me more than seeing the Canucks beat the Rangers in game 7 of the finals -- AT Vancouver because they got the President's Trophy instead of the Rangers.

Habs 4 Leafs 1 final score. Kessel, Bozak, Grabovski, Phaneuf, Gardiner. Outside of those five, I couldn't care less if the rest of this team never played a game in a Leafs jersey again.

So much for the 'genius' of Brian Burke building a winning team...

Hawks - Coyotes games 3 and 4 are on CNBC.

I'm thinking more or less the same...personally I'd take Boston over Washington, and I think San Jose will put up more of a fight, but other than that, yeah.

Wishful thinking. Bruins in 5.

[Cyclonus X-1]

I'll toss out some predictions too just for the heck of it. Note that betting men are usually wise to bet against the teams I pick.

 

Canucks in 6

Sharks in 7

Blackhawks in 6

Predators in 7

 

Rangers in 5

Bruins in 4

Devils in 6

Flyers in 6

It's E$PN. The Blues aren't "sexy" enough to make that list.

Sabres have a 1.1% chance to win the lottery tonight

8.1% for the Leafs...there's a better chance that a team behind them will win and bump the Leafs to 6th

[1-0-0-1-0-0-1]

I hate that the Isles are in the lottery. Again. But like it or not we're in there, so hopefully we'll get bumped up to #1 and get a shot at Nail. If not, there are some good D-men in this draft, and we need good D-men.

[PhilCastro]

Edmonton gets the #1 pick for the third year in a row

[invisibleairwaves]

Really? Edmonton? Again? C'mon

 

At least the Leafs didn't move down.

[invisibleairwaves]

I just realized the last time a team picked first overall three years running, all three picks ended up playing for the Leafs.
