darryl straight-up says his priority is with the farm. jesus christ how did you win the cup then?!?

also, it was really weird to see footage of him playing as a blackhawk. he had emotions.

Apparently this guy:

He was mentioned on TSN Sportscenter a few weeks ago and I had the same, "who the fuck is that?" reaction. I thought it was the guy from Entourage and Hawaii Five-O:

Anyway, so the playoffs are starting eh? What are these playoffs anyway?

I HAVE THE BIGGEST ERECTION RIGHT NOW

So glorious :~)

EDIT: lol, just listened to the podcast. Nice work again boys and especially Marvie. And yes, we may be passionate about our team, but we are mainly fucking about. And also this year has surpassed our poor exceptions WAAAY beyond anything we predicted. So we are excited, just not jizzing madly.

Just saw the scheds.

1. TWO back to backs (games 1/2, games 6/7) in the Habs/Sens series? Trollolololol.
2. LOL Vancouver. Looks like Habs and Leafs are Canada's real teams (CBC picking Habs/Leafs and throwing Nucks in the trash).

Not playing til Thursday sucks, BUT, dat rest time for a really gassed Habs team. Also, Habs series and Leafs series alternates days. Oh CBC, you slick bastard.

Not going to lie, I'll be pretty pissed if the Habs get bounced by a team who's #1 center is ? Turris. I feel like Patches and Eller are going to be beast these playoffs.

Eller will be a beast. Remember vs the Bruins in the playoffs when he played like a champion on a busted shoulder? Warrior.

My god, the early morning saltiness

Am I the only one who would've been shocked if they hadn't chosen the first all-Canadian match up in several years? Besides the obvious advantages, they're also guaranteed to follow a Canadian team through two rounds.

Shut up and choke that salt down. Scrgs pls.

Looks like I'll actually be watching the B's/Leafs series due to the NHL/CBC's non-conflicting scheduling with the Habs.

Anyone know what the best single-season turnaround in NHL history is? Habs went from 28th to 4th, a 24 seeding improvement in a 30 team league. Surely that has got to be awfully close to the best, if not the best.

Solo your creative juices are wasted on small-time TSN plebs like us. Focus on writing the ballad for the Habs' first round exit.

If Van advances, and Tor loses, CBC will just pick them and Habs/Sens for the second round anyway.

CBC has the worst colour commentators in the business, not to mention Stock and Healey on their panel.

Man, I had no idea the draft lottery was tonight. Feels good man. Compare that to a year ago where the draft lottery was my Stanley Cup :lol

Last year, Panthers. First team to go from last to division leaders.


Edit-28th to 3rd.

Really happy with pretty much all of the first round match-ups except Sabs/Hens, I wanted both of those teams to do well :*( Of course this means one of those makes it to the second round, which is always a good thing as well.

Other then that, there's plenty of great hockey to watch and will make my predictions in a bit.

How many teams go from SCF to missing the playoffs completely? I would think that kind of choke would be really rare.

I'm excited to watch the playoff preview shows tonight, really hope they reflect on playoff predictions from the start of the season, it's been a completely upside down year.

I never realized until this season when it looked like the Red Wings might not make the playoffs how much people hated the team. I'm not really sure what they have against them but it's ok. Until the recent ascent of the Tigers they were all we had in Michigan. We need the Red Wings to counterbalance the Lions. Otherwise we are just like Ohio sports.

So I'm not unrealistic. I just want the Blues not to get swept. That's a reasonable expectation right? Not to say we can't win the first round, but we haven't beat LA all (half) season.

Oh well. Bring on the Queens with cro magnon Kopitar.

Could say the same for the Leafs making the playoffs.

I want an asterisk on that so in 2013-2014 when they miss the playoffs again we can say no playoffs in 10 years.

Saving my salt for Wednesday, you're lucky today Solo.

Alright since we already know Boston is going to beat Toronto in the 1st round. I'm wondering who Boston will face, I'm hoping for Pittsburgh. That would be amazing to watch.
