I hate the Avs because they are everything what the Oilers should be. Young and gifted with tons of offense (way better center depth btw) sketchy defense on paper, and good goalie dynamic and bam a competent coach and they are an elite team. They are practically the same team of the last two seasons! Look what a cleanout in management and a competent coach can do!

Well, when all you have is centers and no wings, better center depth happens. Wish they were better at face-offs though.

Only elite wingers can carry offense like Jagr or Ovechkin. But those elite wingers have to be 50+ goal scorers on their own.

Rangers magic number still at 1. They have Carolina and Buffalo in 2 of their 3 remaining games and I swear if they don't get at least one point out of those games...well then you'll probably won't be seeing me here for what, 5 years? 3 if good behavior?

I'm just mad over the fact that they've had a low magic number for a while now and they're still not in.

Avs tie it up with a few minutes to go after being down 2-0.
Ok, I know I am a huge fan of them, but the way they are playing now will make them super scary in the playoffs, you cannot keep them down.

After a very, very sloppy shootout from both teams, the Penguins beat the Avs.
Sucks, but it's hard to complain given the way the season's gone thus far.

Yeah, at least they get a point. Keeps them a full game up on the Hawks with one in hand. Have to remember the Avs played yesterday too and it was a physical as all hell game, the fact they came back in this one is still a good sign of their resilience which has been many critics' sticking point for them all year.

f***ing Islanders. You guys suck Except they'll always play the Devils super tough, of course. Definitely didn't expect them to beat Columbus, though, so I felt ready for that. Devils just need to win as much as possible; Blue Jackets still have to get through Dallas (albeit starting with a 1-0 lead) and Phoenix, two teams that are fighting for their playoff lives, while the Devils have to avoid falling into a trap vs. Calgary, NYI, and Ottawa. It's still a long shot, but the Devils have, on paper, the easier stretch here. Just win, and let the chips fall where they may.

Flames shutout the Devils 1-0. And with that, the Rangers are officially in the playoffs.

I have literally never seen anything like that Devils game before. New Jersey did everything right, and nothing worked. Had a good shot? Ramo stood on his head. Good breakout chance? Puck bounced just an inch or two to the wrong side and killed the opportunity. Lucky bounce? Puck skipped across the goal line but just wouldn't go in. By the second period they were outshooting Calgary 21-7, and dominating the possession game. Nothing worked. I can't imagine that other teams have games like this as regularly as New Jersey does. On a happier note, however...ZOMBITAR, AH'M CALLIN' YEW OUT! hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/53716/matchup?week=24&mid1=9&mid2=1A tie?! In the finals?! And they gave you first place by default?!I call shenanigans. I defended that title, and bah gawd, the rules state that the challenger has to beat the champ! So for the second straight year... Ladies and gentlemen... THE DENSLOW CUP!...To be temporary split in half to reflect a tie in the final round.

As the acting comissioner(and Zombitar), all I can say is: SUCK IT BIIIIIITTTCCCCHHH!!!!!!! .... In all seriousness though, I think I ended up winning based on ending up first overall in the regular season and/or my head to head record against you.

I see Vancouver shitcanned their President/GM.
That team hasn't been the same since the 2011 Cup finals. They were up 2-0 and following that moment, the wheels totally came off.

The Canucks overreacted to the loss.
Caving into the peer pressure of guys like Milbury (Thelma and Louise) and media people who said the Canucks were soft and lacked grit, they opted to not stand pat with their hand.
Instead of a tweak here or there to a very good team, they overhauled them and became too gritty, in a way.
I know people talk about toughness over finesse, but sometimes, you need some form of finesse in the NHL to succeed.
The Canucks are where they are because they got away from what they were and what they were building up from 2007-2011.

Seriously why did Vancouver fire AV? Why did they give up Schneider and Lou?
