Just straight up divisional playoffs, like it used to be before '94 would be fine...change the names back to what they should be too...I don't think a brandy martini represents these teams that well...
We play in the Patrick Division in the Prince of Wales Conference...and that's how I refer to it in my day to day conversations...

He never showed that speed in Pittsburgh. What a waste he was here.
It would have been nice if he was played in a position he was comfortable with during his short time here.

How would that have made him skate faster?

He would've skated with a comfortable competency instead of a latent "thinking-before-doing" level of getting used to an unfamiliar position combined with a completely unfamiliar system.
...but that would make it more difficult for the locals to bust out the old gold of iginlakarovsky because they really don't know anything more than goal and assist totals as a barometer of a players worth/ability...and we wouldn't want to think like that around here.

It has nothing to do with goals and assists in my assessment, in Boston he actually looks like he's trying and actually cares.....

If that were the barometer, wouldnt people have been fine with him?

Iginla's sub-optimal performance was a symptom, not a cause, of a failing team.

He mailed it in. He was a passenger looking to ride to a cup. He deserves every shred of criticism thrown his way.

That was a weird goal just now in the LAK-CHI game. Jones looked like he was in slow motion as the pass was tipped. So Saad was like "Ok, I guess I'll shoot in this half of the net if you're leaving it open."

Almost worth it to see JQ losing his mind.
And now the goal waved off (correctly). He may hurt someone if the Kings come back.

Great recovery by Keith to stop the breakaway.

Sporting of him to hold up a bit and not break Doughty's neck there.

The Flyer's are working some mojo. Would love to play them in the 1st round.

Not me. We'd probably lose. Don't like that matchup at all considering how easily flustered we get against teams like that.
