I gotta say, I like the new seedings -- allows for better matchups in the first round (I think).

 

When did Colorado become good?

I do not follow Hockey at all, and was wondering when was the last time the Capitals didn't make the playoffs? 

 

The Wiz make it, but not the Caps.

They were talking about this the other day on CSN, IIRC the Caps/Wizards have only played concurrently in the playoffs 4x. The Caps last didn't make the playoffs in 2007, Wizards did that year.

Considering that both teams have been in the area 40 years, and the nature of each leagues' playoff structure, that just goes to show how dreadful those franchises have been.

Actually, more of goes to show how bad the Bullets/Wizards have been. Capitals made it to 14 straight playoffs at one point in the 80s and 90's.

Fair enough. They were bad early on, though, when the Wiz-lets went on some of their runs.

Probably about 10 seconds after TB scores to go up 1-0... Plekanec absolutely bitches a Tampa defender and snipes one home top shelf to tie it up for Montreal. That should be one of the top plays tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I was flipping through the channels and stopped on that game RIGHT before that goal. It was a nice play.

Disappointing ending though.  Man I hate the Penguins.  Or maybe I just hate Crosby, dude seems like such a tool.

They moved to get Winnipeg into the Western Conference. I don't remember if it was part of the full realignment this year or if it happened before.

It lessens the travel for Detroit and fewer games in other timezones. Haven't they been trying to get in the Eastern Conference for a while, I thought I remembered reading that.
