Attention Hockey Fans
This is pretty OT but I know there's a lot of hockey fans on this blog. As many of you know, tonight is a win or go home game (basically) between the Habs and the Leafs. I imagine this game is going to be pretty crazy. For us American hockey fans, there would usually be no way to watch it. But NHL Center Ice is offering a free preview this weekend. I'm pretty excited to get to see this amazing Hockey Night in Canada matchup.

Anaheim
is the worst franchise in the hisotry of professional sports. They are an abomination in the NHL.
As far as I am concerned this jersey

never existed.

Ah yes, the fish-stick jersey
That's the kind of thinking that led to a backup goalie being named GM.
But this:

might be checkmate.

How to play Devils hockey:
- NEVER attack. Hang back on every play.
- Wait for other team to bring up puck.
- Stick/hit/grab/push player with puck, or player to whom controlling player is passing puck. Have teammate steal puck and flip back towards own net.
- Repeat until game ends. Make sure to score a goal at some point so your overrated goaltender can get credit for a shutout even though he only made like 5 saves.

curling...
Its scores might be soccerlike, but hockey has more thunderous physical contact, and on television you can at least see the players' numbers and know who's who (there's my hours of grueling research watching Fox Soccer Channel). The surface of play is also smaller, so more things are forced to happen. Just my piece.

nw division champs
By virtue of beating the Sharks today, the Canucks locked up the Northwest Division title and the third seed in the Western Conference. They will now face the Dallas Stars in the first round. The bad news is that Marty Turco has an insanely good record against Canadian teams. The good news is that he's saddled with the reputation of a lack of playoff success. There was a chance that the Canucks could have drawn the Sharks in the first round, but based on the physical beating the Sharks put on the Canucks today, it's probably good they won't be facing them in the first round.
The save-of-the-year candidate by Luongo (mentioned above) apparently was on Ryane Clowe with an open net. Luongo had lost his stick in the crease and went back to retrieve it, then made a paddle save about a fraction of a second later.
By the way, twenty minutes are over with in Saint Louis and it's a scoreless game between Boston College and Michigan State. Vancouver goalie prospect Cory Schneider plays for BC, though being a goalie prospect in the Canucks' system won't get you anywhere for the next three years barring an injury to Luongo or unforeseen suckitude. Schneider was in the net for that horrible giveaway goal behind the net in the North Dakota game. That was bruuuuuuuutal.

def
As for Schneider, Vancouver's way too enamored with Luongo to even think about letting him go. Vancouver hasn't had a goalie this good in forever (Kirk McLean). So, I'm thinking Schneider gets traded for something the Canucks need. The first thing that comes to mind is a righty shot for the Sedins to mess with on the power play.
Gary Thorne calling hockey. A rare sight nowadays. I know he does other sports, but I'm really surprised he didn't bolt for Versus/NBC. It's weird seeing Jack Edwards on Versus.
