Buffalo has definitely had a rough ride the year. I know that depressing feeling, because I'm a Blues fan. I think they're shooting for the longest streak from inaguration to Stanley Cup in history. And while it sucks to be a fan of a crummy team, it's worse to watch them win the President's Trophy and then lose in the first round in 7 games to the #8 seed. Ah 1999-2000, how you still haunt me.

Born in Vancouver but I could never bring myself to be a real fan. Still hope for the best though. At least the Gwinnett Gladiators won the other night when I took my son. Roller hockey in PTC helps quell my hockey addiction.
Ps.....Blackhawks are not worthy of the Saturday night live Superfans!!!!
Edmonton has some young, strong talent. I think in a few seasons they'll be a top contender.

I'm sure it was painful for you, but last year I LOVED the PHL-PIT series. That was awesome! If Fleury stays strong, the Penguins will be tough in the playoffs.
