Running 2008 NHL Playoffs Thread

Thanks for reminding us, EF.

Jeff Carter & Mike Richards were two of my favourite players when they were in junior.

 

The AP story I saw last night on the wire was that Coburn and possibly even Timmonen could be ready for Game 5. Is there any truth to this?

I could see Coburn being ready, but that would be a really quick recovary for Timmonen from the clot.

 

Thought this was interesting and worth passing along:

The Mule is still out for Game 5 tomorrow in Detroit.

The Stars will be without Lehtinen and Barnes again, as well as Fistric and Boucher.

 

Great piece by our very own FoF.

Thanks for posting that.

 

I never knew his real name. Good story though.

 

As always, a tremendous read.

 

Read that in the Magazine a few weeks back. As usual, top-notch work.

 

He's never gone all the 'typefitter' way so I just leave it alone.

Liked the piece, but I do wish it had mentioned Craig Norwich. He deserves some credit for the program.

 

Whalercanes to keep Peter Laviolette behind the bench:

Uh, care to clarify anything, Jim Rutherford?

 

You know that regular season Rangers game that would be the last major event at Yankee Stadium? It may be on hold.

I like how the Stars are putting the pressure on early. Nice start, now they just need to convert.

EDIT -- And there it is. Stars up 1-0.
