Argh, Ducks dominate for the whole period and Minny scores a goal like that. That's the way the season has gone for us. Just no luck.

Marchand, what a c***. Good to see Niskanen beat the snot out of him for it, and good on Marchand for at least deciding to go through with the fight.

Detroit (104) vs Dallas (95)
Nashville (99) vs Chicago (97)

Kings and Flames would whine, but neither was in the east last year anyway. Think Dallas took LA’s spot and that was the only change, but I didn’t check that.

LA would have been out despite having more points than two teams who were in (Chicago and Dallas)

Also the Northeast conference may have 8 teams depending on the situation involving Phoenix/Quebec.

Phoenix stays = 7 teams
Phoenix moves to Quebec = 8 teams

Really I thought they would be one of the 4 that were against it.

Maybe the Florida teams felt that the Canadian teams + Boston and Sabres would bring in more fans to their games. Travelling may not be too much of an issue with the right schedule, Winnipeg is in the middle in terms of traveling distances despite being in the southeast.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is going to be an expansion to 32 teams

Sens suck m i rite?!?!?!

Anyway, great game. I was there tonight good atmosphere and fun times. Zack Smith has been awesome for us this season and is quickly becoming my 2nd favorite player (next to Spezza of course.)

Also I won the contest on twitter for the 100 level seats for the game against Washington on wednesday so I'm pretty pumped for that...never been lower than the low 300s.

Ottawa in a legit playoff spot woop woop. Even if Washington wins (lol) their next game they can only tie us for points.

I can't say I'm fond of the new playoff format. The more open tournament that started in...1993? was much superior to the closed-off divisional one we are apparently going to have again. But the scheduling and alignment of the conferences is top-notch, and I can't complain about it one bit. Let's just name the four groups Smythe, Norris, Adams, and Patrick and call it a day.
