Portland is just PUMMELING the Kelowna Rockets 6-2. Bring on the Oil Kings

*edit: make that 7-2

Its about high time Seattle got an NHL hockey team, I was hoping the Phoenix Coyotes were going to fold.

Only a matter of time though, and I'll be one of the first to drive across the line and get a ticket when the NHL moves in.

Actually

Gary Bettman: NHL not considering expansion into Seattle now | Hockey | The Seattle Times

Damn! As a Canadian it baffles me how tropical & hot arid regions of the States can land a hockey team, but we don't have one in Seattle, or Quebec for that matter. I guess its all about the facility. ...sigh next stop Las Vegas.

Winterhawks over Oil Kings in five

oh wow dallas. thats why turning into a shell with the lead is the worst thing that all teams do for some reason. played a great game up to that point but deserved to lose it off that 2minutes alone. abosolutely disgusting.

If LA comes back and wins and it's an Ana-LA series good lord im offing myself. how boring will that one be (the answer is very)

I'm a Ducks fans, I just avoid fanny packs and khaki shorts.

Go Ducks! One down.

I'm really excited to watch the Habs/Bruins series. I'm betting it's going to go 7 games.

Good for you :yeah:

Original Six series are always special. Do you think the layoff will help or hurt Montreal?

The week off? Yeah, it could be a hindrance for sure, although it could also be beneficial. Hindrance - because they've been off for so long it could take a while to get back into the swing of things. Benefits - they're well rested, have had time to practice and also mentally prepare for the next round.

It's the first time these two teams have met in the second round since 1992.
