Any hockey fans out there?

But what an arms race between COL, DAL, MIN.

The West is completely stacked - especially the Central

Good year to be in the east that's for sure... Really tough year to be in the central, but that's all part of the fun, ain't it?

Another point for Hughes so far. Wild looking great

Announcer had a great analogy for Hughes...

Hughes...no we aren't this good and it won't go this good everything night... right?

It's too bad I'm also a fan of the Avs otherwise I'd be very unhappy about them never losing during this time when the Wild cant seem to make up and ground

you guys sure are glazing the Wild right now. Gonna make that 1st round exit extra funny this year.

Not really - we are so used to it that we enter round 1 with that expectation. No reason to believe it would be different this year.

As much as I despise the Redwings, I'm kinda excited to see them having success. Some old rivalries might resurface.
Go Bruins!

dang, 32 minutes - Hughes and Faber tonight. We really need to get Middleton and Brodin back. Wild still rolling!

I watched part of last nights game and it came into more focus for me. The Wild certainly got better when they added Hughes, but they didn't fix their problem. Their top line is clearly now one of the best. Blue Jackets put a defensive/checking line matchup on them so it wasn't 1 vs 1. It was effective most of the game, and the Blue Jackets are mediocre team. I will be looking to see if this happens to them more on the road for the rest of the season as the home team gets last change. It is going to happen in the playoffs for sure.
