The Latvians are engaging in some old-fashioned ballot stuffing in the All Star voting

Zemgus Girgensons has nearly twice as many votes as Sidney Crosby

Flicking through the channels I notice that Premier Sports seem to he having a couple of days "free view", so fans will be able to watch a couple of NHL games without subscribing, if that's your thing.

For the first time in 46 years none of the Canada-based clubs in the NHL will make the playoffs this year.

Exactly what the league wants as it panders to southern (and western) US TV markets.

I saw that on PTI a few days ago. Incredible that no teams from Canadia made it through

Some of my early posts to this thread referred to the Cardiff Devils' problems moving into their temporary rink.

Well, just last month they finally moved out of the temporary rink ("The Big Blue Tent") and into their new permanent home, "Ice Arena Wales"

I was at the first game and the playoff game the next weekend.

I'll try to go down a bit more often next season but its close to a 100 mile round trip for each home game

Cracking game at the Barclays Arena in Brooklyn last night. My first NHL game didn't disappoint with the Islanders beating the Lightening 5-2. They now have a great chance of making the playoffs along with the rags (Rangers).

Playoffs in full swing.   Penguins will face the Caps in round 2 after the Pens dumped the Rangers in 5 and the Caps beat the Flyers in 6.

Pens defeat the Caps in the eastern conference semis.  Now for Tampa Bay......

When it comes to the playoffs, the Caps always fall apart. Time to trade Ovie and rebuild

He has a great shot, but he is too one-dimensional.  They need to build a team.
