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.

Really surprised the Blues got swept. But then again the Caps got swept last year by Tampa and nobody expected it. Welcome to the playoffs!

AH, AWESOME! So glad you got to go. Seeing them win in the playoffs was fun, but seeing the series win (and sweep, no less) must have been so awesome!

I wish I had heard the Penner chant... that's downright hilarious. He had a good series though.

I got a towel from the game I went to, but yours is definitely more badass and historical. Big Grin

And... O'Neal seems like he'd be a fun drunk. Haha.

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.
I missed the game on TV, fell asleep on my couch Doh Facepalm I wanted to watch the game, I have a policy of cheering for former badgers, like Elliot.

Playoff games are definitely not a slickdeal. laugh out loud

I wish I had kept my season tickets so I could've made a nice little profit. I know some friends have already made $500-600 selling theirs.

See Giroux got suspended one game. Think that puts a fork in the Flyers for 2012.

Not necessarily. Neal got suspended for game 4 in the Pens-Flyers series and the Pens scored 10 goals.

It depends how Philly responds tomorrow night. Bryzgalov needs to be better though - he's been on and off the entire playoffs and hasn't looked that great in the last few games.

Excellent point, and to quote you, anything can happen. I think the Flyers would have needed a huge game out of him to turn the series around, and it is just my opinion that it is not even possible now. Especially with, as you noted, the spotty goalie play.

Those balloons that the fans are playing with in NY are super distracting and annoying...
