Hockey is back! After a summer of tragedy, it's time to drop the puck!

Who's the Cup favorite? Who made the best off season moves? When will Crosby return? When will Doughty sign?


And to start off the season, Mike Modano officially retired yesterday.

The Blues look like they have given up. Never would have thought they would be on the verge of being swept.

Kostitsyn and Radulov will not be playing again tonight. Predators will roll with the same lineup as game 3.
No idea what happened to them. It's really weird.

I'm thinking Nashville will tie the series tonight. They looked a lot better in game 3 than the first two.

Yeah, they guys they had in Wednesday night seemed like they were a lot better suited to play against the Coyotes style of play. They also realize that just because you have one of the best goalies in the league doesn't mean you can slack off when it comes to defense.

Nashville now on the brink of elimination. Insanity. Mike Smith has stood on his head this series.

Preds deserved to lose tonight. They just couldn't put one in the net tonight. Well, except the one that got blown dead. But it shouldn't have come down to that anyway. The "intent to blow" rule is still farking terrible though. Especially when the ref is completely out of position. Also, Mike Smith is a douche.

I love Doc Emrick.

whistle
Doc: That's a whistle for the offside--
crowd boos
Doc: --and a few thousand linesmen disagree.

laugh out loud

The other night he had a great observation - something along the lines of "these guys work so hard, for so long, to earn a ring that's too big to wear, and a trophy they can't even keep."

Damn.

He drives me nuts. I don't want to hear about another player "finessing the puck" ever again.

I hate that term. Joe Beninati did that crap too. Annoying and stupid.

Benanati still does that.

I can't stand Emrick's "OH AND IT WOULD NOT GO!".

WE DID IT!!!!!! FIRST SWEEP IN KINGS HISTORY! Second time to the conference finals... wow. GO KINGS!

Hopefully Nashville can put up a fight and get to 7 games? I dunno. I'd definitely prefer Nashville over Phoenix. The Coyotes worry me.

Still can't believe the Blues got swept. I figured the series would have been a lot more even than that. Great play by the Kings today. Especially at the end when they kept it in their offensive zone so Elliot couldn't get to the bench for the extra skater. That was impressive.
