Its rare that you see a head coach fuck up during a game in hockey. Mike Keenan really fucked up last night. Why didn’t he take the timeout??? Instead of having to battle back down 2, he made it 3. ---

yea in a game 7 it doesn’t make much sense to pull kip instead of just taking a timeout. ---

Pens and Rangers will be a lot of fun to watch. Side note: I love sitting in the open garage, on a lawn chair, wrenching away and watching playoff hockey. ---

> [@Just Karter](#): > > predictions? **Philly** -Montreal **Pittsburgh** -Rangers I was 50/50 on my last predictions though. 🙂 And I still didn’t watch enough of the West to make an educated guess there. I’ll say Detroit wins the West though just from a gut feeling. EDIT: Philly - Montreal will be decided by the league ahead of time though. If they call everything, Montreal wins. If they let the teams get away with things like they have been, Philly wins. ---

You guys sure give Montreal a lot of credit after struggling with 8th seed Boston’s shitty offense. To me they seem a lot like last year’s Sabres. Great on paper, but not up to the task of post season, long haul, gritty hockey.
