DU sits down to chat hockey with TNH :

Watching hockey...you?
Total puff piece, but nevertheless in all likelihood a strong signal from the corner office that there'll be no change to the status quo any sooner than has been currently planned for. Take it for what it's worth, I guess.
DRW hitting the links this weekend as predicted, with the Flyers and Rangers looking like the next ones to be checking out. CBH showing championship mettle with the 2OT road win to force a Game 6. Still asking the Blues to "show me" ... rooting for them, but I've seen this movie before, and last night may have been their best chance to knock off the champs. Now I'm waiting to see if the San Jose thing is for real, or just their own latest mirage.
Anaheim has bounced back with two road wins, and I like them to advance. I think the Cup stays in the West again, but Washington and Pittsburgh look to be the two toughest teams in the East right now. They are headed on a collision course in the next round. TB was not particularly impressive in getting by DRW, but they should get past the winner of the Florida-NYI series in the next round regardless. I'll predict Washington ekes past Pittsburgh, and even if Stamkos is back for TB in the semis, I like the Caps to make it to the Finals.
I think everyone else is rooting for St. Louis to get Chicago out, 'cuz if CBH manages to advance, they may just run the rest of the table (again). And if SJ doesn't knock out the Kings in this round, I have a sneaky suspicion Anaheim will knock them out in the next round.
If CBH beats St. Louis tomorrow night, no way the Blues will beat them in a Game 7 - home, away or on Mars. And if CBH get into the next round, I think they WILL run the table (Dallas won't know what hit them, and they're better/more experienced than Anaheim and Washington). So I think you can say the Cup might be on the line tomorrow night at the United Center.
Just passing the time until we can sort through the tea leaves after this weekend's UNH Hockey banquet.
