I'm trying to decide who I would rather face in the second round if we got past Winnipeg - Nashville or Colorado?

Preds in a heartbeat!
If the Kings manage to come back and win against the Stars, and the Bruins don't pass the Lightning tomorrow, these will be the intra-division matchups for the playoffs:
PIT vs PHI
BOS vs TOR
WPG vs MIN
ANA vs LAK
These are insane matchups, but my god they should not be in the first round. I miss the old format.
Agreed. The RANGERS season was over, thus the Rangers didn't fire their coach during the RANGERS season.I don't think so. Regardless of the makeup game, NYR had played all 82 of their games, as had 28 other teams in the league. I wouldn't personally call that an in-season firing.
Honestly Kovy to NYR actually makes sense, they can pay him what he wants for how long he wants, he gets to play with fellow russians he knows personally, and if they stink he will be a hot trade piece for contending teams.
either way he gets everything he wants.
It is a bit odd. Is he even making more money here than in Russia? I thought he was top-3 salary-wise over there. Otherwise why come back after a bunch of years to a mediocre team?I thought he'd want to win... But I guess money talks.
I'm superstitious enough to refuse even thinking about the possibility of Chicago jumping into the top 3. Edmonton getting it would be funny, but somehow everything they touch turns to ash anyway.Top 3 in the draft stayed out of the West.
Thought for sure at least one of Edmonton or Chicago would've jumped up.
Buffalo needs a coach more than anythingI'm superstitious enough to refuse even thinking about the possibility of Chicago jumping into the top 3. Edmonton getting it would be funny, but somehow everything they touch turns to ash anyway.
Happy for Buffalo and Carolina; both get they guys they seem to need most. Kind of feel for Arizona.
