That's pretty awesome. Glad that the Panthers made a great turnaround this year. Same for the Yotes, even though it's not under the best of circumstances.
 
Not even thinking about that dude, it's playoff hockey in south Florida again! Time to go shave!
Yup this is only the start. Markstrom in the wings, Rau, our 6'3 center Nick B, and a bunch others. This team is only getting started.

Fun point the Devil's coah is the Panthers' one from last year. Panthers are 2-1-1 vs the Devils this year.

I'm kind of happy Boston is drawing Washington in the first round.
They won't be able to take it easy while opening up their Cup defense.

EAST PREDICTIONS

Senators over Rangers in 7
Bruins over Capitals in 6
Devils over Panthers in 5
Flyers over Penguins in 7

Bruins over Senators in 5
Flyers over Devils in 6

BOSTON vs. PHILADELPHIA - Year 3 of the Grudge Match to end all grudge matches in the conference finals... who will survive?

Thanks for the great season, Stamkos. Hats off to the Jets fans for being the among best in the league too. That game felt like a playoff atmosphere.
Congrats to Stamkos. Goes without saying, but the guy's a beast.

Shame the Jets didn't win it, but it really didn't matter. Everyone was on their feet cheering, chanting and applauding. I don't know if it came through on TV, but there were a bunch of "Thank you True North" chants going throughout the game.

Are there any plans for seat expansion at the MTS Centre? From how the fans have been all season, it doesn't look like they need it now, but I'd assume it would bite them a little in the future for having a small venue.
The small venue is part of what makes it work. It creates demand and allows them to keep the ticket prices high. It also helps that there isn't a bad seat in the arena.
 
So i didn't see an answer to my earlier post, Do anyone know which dates the different playoff games are? Like when game 1-3 is in San Jose and Kings, is it already determined if we know that they end up on second half?

And do you get your money back from stubhub if you buy to game 6 and it only goes to 4?

I'm not sure about the dates, but yes, you get a full refund if you buy tickets to a game that never happens.

All the Kings had to do was lose one more game in 2008 and we could have had Stamkos instead of Doughty. Ah, what could have been...
