Nice post! Good writing. Wrong about the Habs going out so fast though.

big win for the blues, no doubt. the red wings own us, so i was shocked we won and came back so strong after wednesday night's uninspired performance. but that 7th place didnt last very long. it's very frustrating when the other teams are winning too. congrats on your win. they took it to the rangers tonight.

As of tonight, we're both in

As of tonight, we're both in seventh place. Way to go, Deadman.

Speaking of gritty young players, the Leafs just signed Christian Hanson, son of the only real-life "Hanson brother" from Slap Shot. He'll dress for the game against Montreal Saturday. He's a pretty good player, although just about everyone will be expecting -- and hoping -- to see some colorful goonery.

In reply to I don't know Oshie at all,

you will be hearing a lot more of oshie in the years to come.

and yes, it will be a close call for both of our teams going down to the wire. tho dare i say the blues will be a much more dangerous opponent should they happen to sneak in the playoffs. Since Jan. 3 they've enjoyed a .684 winning percentage, tops in the league. All bets off tho if they have to play the Red Wings first round since Detroit has owned us, this year and every year.

and no worries on the earlier ridicule. even i didn't believe the team would make the playoffs this year.

god, i even hate talking like this. it's a total jinx.

I don't know Oshie at all, but he does look good in the scoring clip: good hands and the patience rookies sometimes lack. Solid hits too. The wavy locks are just gravy.

Looks like the Blues have as firm a hold on a final playoff berth as the Canadiens do. I take back any ridicule I heaped on your team back in January, but remember that I was worried then about the Habs' mental and intestinal fragility. One head coach later, it's still unclear whether the team is finally coalescing. If they just back into the series, they'll be out in five games or less.

In any case, next year's Canadiens will look a lot different, probably a lot younger. An energetic team led by Vinnie Lecavalier, if rumors that refuse to die pan out.
