It sure feels good to be back to the Playoffs! GO PENS!

And any of you who really aren't that into hockey might want to check out the Penguins/Senators series...  They're two of the "flashy" young teams in the league and the regular season contests were always entertaining.

Sidney Crosby's (NHL leading scorer @ age 19) playoff debut, Wednesday night, 7pm EST on VERSUS.

Oh yeah

Sens, Canucks, and Flames to win, just because Slash didn't pick one Canadian team.

You mean they aren't on strike again?????

The MLB strike in 1994 is what killed that sport for me and if I was a hockey fan the last strike would have put the old dog out of its misery for me as well.

The strike is old news. The league came out after with more die hard fans then before. It also renewed the game with the new rules. The new rules made for more hockey being played in each game, rather then scoring 3 goals and then burning time off the clock.
