Sounds like the NHL and NHLPA finally agreed on a deal.

Now who's ready for some hockey??

Wings/Blackhawks round 2! It's a network execs wet dream given that those were the highest rated games of the season.
And I bet Pittsburgh-NYR would be a ratings booster as well.

I don't have very high hopes for tonight. Caps can't seem to figure out how to win a series. Even if they do win, they can't win on the road to save their lives.

Welcome to the club.. heh.

I have my own hockey game at 7:30 tonight. I'm trying to decide if I should skip my game, or just let things be and play so I'm not overly stressed watching the Bruins probably choke..

What a comeback by Boston.

NYR/Caps game is already looking to be over.... but given what the Bruins did, I guess you never know.

I'm glad I at least switched over to watch the last three goals of the Bruins game, even if I didn't want Boston to win

it felt like a good game plan until they gave up the second goal... Dontknow I don't know if NYR just made that many adjustments that the caps were thrown off, or if it really was just an all out meltdown.

I am a caps fan, having lived in DC for 2+ years, but that's still not long enough to know the disappointment that comes with being a DC sports fan (except for DC United Mad I went all in on DCU, and it's been pain ever since)

Caps fan for 27 years. It's the same story every year. We S the bed when it counts. COnsidering the team has been out of the 2nd round of the playoffs only twice in almost 40 years, that should tell you something.

I am perfectly fine with having skipped my game to watch this.. Though, I wasn't feeling that way with about 10 min left in the third... laugh out loud

Detroit looking like a legit contender after last night. Can Chicago come back?
