This is what I'm trying to figure out. Did Murray say the player interviews played a role in letting Nolan go?

I'll send you a bill.

"I didn't foresee us as a 30th place team..." ~ Tim Murray. AHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaaaaaa! Aha! Ha.

I'm listening to WGR online.

Right. It says the brackets are locked once the playoffs begin. So, I suppose you can create and edit them up until that point.

In like Flynn.

What's the deadline? I need to find a thinking cap, and then put it on.

Nice to see all of the Canadian teams. That's been missing from the playoffs for a little bit. What do you think, Rangers vs. Blues for the finals?

WTF? That doesn't make sense. Kids these days.

There's no shame! I was doing my best text-impersonation of Rob Ray.

So, what do they call Eichel? Jackie? Jack-Jack? Eichzies? Jackzers?

Meant to point this out as a helpful post, too. I missed that part of the show, so, looking back on it, I think it provides a lot of context as well. Good job. The play was well developed and got off to a mmruuphhph.

In other words, the psycho-crazy Boston hockey fans will be total douches toward the guy for, like, ever. Figures. I feel bad for him now, too.

Thank you. This is the kind of post we need. No frills, no whatevers, just pure info to answer and enlighten.

So, could you, would you, point out the back story on O'Conner in that thread. Please.

Okay, so, after considering this awhile, and, obviously, watching games, I am not convinced Larsson is going to be here. Or Grigorenko, for that matter. I haven't seen Hodgson crack too many of these line-up prognostications, but he's should be out, too. Back to Larsson, this team blew chunks this year, and Larsson was a part of it. If we are to pick the wheat from the chaff, I don't see how Larsson rates as wheat after this season. Frankly, I think Foligno is borderline here, too.

O'Conner? O'Conner? Is it that he's a kid, and shaky, and people feel bad for shaky kids? Or, what...is there more to that story? Hello?

Oh yeah, and if not, what are you gonna do about it?

But he can go into beast mode, no?

Not that I'm trying to be "that guy", mind you. And, again, what is the story with the BU goalie?

I have to say, last night I went through the Eichel videos and was impressed. I recall the World Juniors and remember I liked Eichel more. But this here was a championship for his school, annnnnnnnnnnnd, I wasn't impressed with what I saw out of him. I kind of was expecting him to turn into beast mode the last five minutes and win this for them.

What's the storyline with this guy? Lots of focus on him over Eichel, I would say, during this game. Meanwhile...I wonder if this means Eichel is going to want to go back and bring home a championship.

Poof, the magic has left for now.

This is a fun game.
