Doesn't matter - they'll choke, just like Vancouver.

Obviously, San Francisco. The SF Giants won their first World Series in 56 years last fall.

It's still strange to see division leaders placed above better records. In the East, Pittsburgh is technically in 2nd but since they're not leading the division they're in 4th. That's just STUPID. That has got to change.
Looks like St Louis is out of contention. Was hoping they'd pull it together this year to at least qualify.
Sharks/Hawks in Chicago tonight. GO SHARKSQuote

A hero in leading Chicago to the Stanley Cup a year ago, Niemi has gone 17-3-3 with a 1.95 goals-against average while starting the Sharks' last 24 games. The GAA is the best of any goalie with at least 16 starts in that span.
This could be a big difference for the Sharks postseason this year. As a Blackhawks fan I fear a sustained run of playoff excellence from our favorite Finn.

Just got back from the Sabres game today. The Sabres beat Ottawa 6 to 4.
On the way to the game I just heard the sad news that former Buffalo Sabre and member of the French Connection Rick Martin has passed away at age 59. He apparently suffered a heart attack while driving in the Buffalo area (Clarence).
They had a small memorial at the game prior to the start and at the end after the game the players all came out on the ice and raised their sticks and pointed to the banner in the rafters for the fallen retired No. 7 Richard Martin.
Bad night for the Sharks. NHL hasn't dome them any favors with the schedule. Just finished a 7 game roadie.Got a brief homestand,then back out on the road. Then they make them turn around and go to Dallas tonight...BUt don't worry skippy. When they finish up with a bunch of games at home,not only will they secure the 3rd spot,But they'll take a run at the Wings for the second spot as well.Quote

Was at the Hawks-Sharks game. Surprised the Sharks would not elevate the physical game. You wanna beat Chicago, forecheck for 3 periods and beat em up. I guess you can't hit what you can't catch... If the Sharks were going to get it done it should have been tonight due to Hawks without Bolland and Campbell. Maybe we see you in the payoffs, I mean playoffs.The Western Conf. is simply going to the last 2-3 games before we know the playoff matchups. LET'S GO HAWKS!

I was at the game too. Half of the Sabres don't know who the hell Rick Martin was.
And why are people booing Tim Connely. He's the only player on the team with any talent. Tyler Myers is WAY over rated. time for him to sit out a game or two.[/quote
