Uh, yes he is and this is his 2nd intentional stick to the head in recent history, plus his blatant head shot to a sedin.

NHL could throw the book at repeat offender Duncan Keith - Sportsnet.ca

He's a repeat offender, like BL said, he's swung sticks at peoples' heads before

Still some good races.

Who will finish first in the West? Stars or Blues?
Which 2 will make the playoffs in the East? Philly, Detroit, Boston? Seems like Philly has the best chance with a game in hand.
Who will finish dead last? Edmonton or Toronto?

Edmonton and Toronto are really battling hard for that last place

Speaking of Edmonton, they play their final game in the old arena today. It's been around since the early 70s There is about 150 alumni oilers players there for the celebration, plus there will be a big show to close the place out after tonight's game.

Are they giving brown bags for those 150 alumni? Cuz, the team on the ice is a disgrace to the jersey, the NHL, and all pro sports.

So it's Pens vs Rangers or Isles.

Rather play the Isles first round, even with McDonagh out. They don't have a goalie or Hamonic. We don't have Malkin or Maatta. 12-1-0 last 13 though.

Philly will get 8 seed. They could beat Washington.

^Agreed, I'd much rather play the Isles, even though I'm not afraid of the Rangers the way we've been handling them

I just want to see Wash and the Flyers beat the crap out of each other for 7 games

Making Canada proud

The b's are dead ducks. Even if they make the playoffs they've got no chance of getting anywhere. They trimmed all the character out of the locker room over the past 2 years and replaced it with serviceable nhl talent. Boychuk, lucic, Thornton, all gone, those guys kept the room loose but tightly knit. They've still got some talent but the heart is missing.

There all lead by example guys, that doesn't necessarily make the other players a team. Plus, Chara's getting old and is becoming less mobile.

Marshond seems to have non-stop moving lips.

But, you know your team best. We'll see how they do in the next couple of games...

Entertaining game between Pens/Caps. Hopefully a playoffs preview.


Nao, to the Blues and Hawks.

I was thinking the same thing

Glad to see the Pens secure home ice and Sid score on the backhand on a sick breakaway

I guess it's between the Dallas South Stars and St. Loo Blues on who wants the honors of playing Chicago in the 1st round.

You guys get the backup and a bunch of scrubs...I think the Rangers' playoff position is set.

So, some of the key starters will probably get the afternoon off...or, if they play, very short shifts.

Thanks for the update captain obvious.

Wouldn't want to play the pens in the first round either if I was cabby!

No. The only team you don't want to play is the Kings. If they lose, it's because Deano wills or allows it.

He's never wrong.

I want no piece of Dallas.

StL isn't a good matchup, either, but Hawks D just isn't fast enough for Dallas.

Rangers evil scheme to avoid the Caps & Penguins in the first two rounds step 1 complete, allowing the Islanders to rout them at home & sweep the season series!

They either need to do a 180 or will be gone fast.

Tomorrow will be tough even before they announced Zuccerello and Girardi are sitting due to "upper body" injuries & Detroit are literally fighting for their life.
