i would not be so sure of that.
the canadiens are the most known hockey franchise in the world, liverpool is not.;)
think outside england here ian. :)
what a close one last night (not really tampas goalie was on fire) but i will take it. Sean we will finish before your rangers:p |

when teams are in no danger of missing the playoffs, they usually chill a bit towards the end of the season.
I'm not saying they will win the cup, but the sharks are not playing for anything right now. It is smart, and they should rest as many guys as possible to ensure the best playoff performance LEN. The presidents cup< stanley cup imo.
sean, i can't see Florida doing it. I think we will be fighting amongst ourselves for 7 and 8th.
i honestly would much rather face boston than new jersey:) |

liverpool are, they've been surpassed a bit by man united, real madrid etc in the last 10 years or so, but have a very decorated history and appeal in countries where hockey doesn't. I think gillett really wants hicks out of liverpool though & would sell montreal for a good price now to get that deal done. |

I agree but its a bit nerve wracking. Normally the pres. cup isnt much but I think Detroit having home ice is not a good thing, at least for the sharks. |

to a Stanley Cup caliber team home ice is not as important as it would be for those teams in the lower brackets.
The Sharks are good enough to make it far even if they lose every game left this year, i am still not sold on them being cup winners, but it is far from being out of the question:) |

Backs & Rinne deliver again :)
Ducks crush the Av's, I think I have a crush on Bobby Ryan :gsmile:
Bruins just keep looking better every night, maybe even final-material, no? |

the habs have never played well against the devils, the bruins on the other hand can never beat us in the playoffs. The last time they finished at the top of the eastern conference we promptly booted them out in the first round. There is also a good rivalry going between the 2 teams and its fans, something that is non existent with New Jersey. Gimme the bruins. |
