While I think the West is better than the East, once in the playoffs, it can be a disadvantage. Last year I don't think the sharks would have had a chance beating Detriot after going through the flames and stars, just too many hard games in a short period of time though.

You're right... just hope it ends up well for the East.

Especially my 'Canes!

Martin Brodeur's first game back and he gets a shutout. Not too shabby.

Crosby might not play tonight?

Oh......Bummer.

He got another one today! Brodeur has four shutouts in 13 games this season.

While my allegiance in the East goes toward Boston and Montreal, you gotta love Brodeur!!! Dude's sooo good for the league... He's hands-down one of the greatest (if not the greatest) goalie that I've ever seen.

His 100th career shutout as well.

If I am not mistaken he is just 6 games shy of Roy's win total.

BTW Nice moves by the Isles. Garth Snow is really putting them in line to get some great draft picks next year. The RE rebuilding starts now. Damn, I hate Mad Mike Milbury!
