Happy news (for some of us anyways)! We got the title of Northwest Division champions!! Now all we've got to do is... face Columbus... This is bound to be interesting.
And Canadiens are facing the Bruins in the playoffs! Somehow, I'm not really happy about that but at the same time, it's bound to make for some entertaining hockey.

On another note, it's interesting to see how well Tim Thomas will fare against Price!

jonogunn! you should definitely go to the jersey store at coquitlam centre, I don't remember the name of the store though.
I've been watching the '94 documentary all day, it kinda did a run on me,
I'm about an inch away from putting my heart and soul into this year's playoffs, but I don't want my hopes and dreams crushed, again. I cried so hard after we lost to the Flames in '04, D:
and is it just me or is it kind of weird how the twins have been mentioned in playoff talk as a whole for us when they're incredibly quiet during the post-season each year? but they do really well against the Blues, I can't judge. D: I SAY SUNDIN UNLEASHES HIS INNER SWEDISH DEMON COME PLAYOFF TIME.

i'm not sure if customs for $229 is cheap, but I got my jersey for $50, (which was half off of $100), which is cheap, to me, haha.

Wear your gear tomorrow, because it is THE night!
Oh! And as most people expected, Islanders got the 1st draft pick then (in descending order) Tampa Bay, Colorado, Atlanta, and then LA.
For the 14 spots, go to: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=418357&...|DraftMicrosite
So I guess Islanders are going after Tavares. No Hedman for them but he would be a good asset. LA would stock up on the young scoring blood and probably take Kane unless one of the previous teams take him.

after Kings drafted Drew Doughty, all they need is better scoring. That guy averages 20+ minutes even as a rookie.
