Can't say I mind this, gives him 5 games to rest up 2 to get back into the flow of things and then were off to the playoffs, hopefully it locks us into the 6th spot.

What...a....game. Wow.

Who would've thought Tim Stapleton, Ben Maxwell, and Spencer Machacek would be the best line on the ice against the Capitals? Insane effort by those guys tonight.

The only negative in all of this is Washington still got a point, so the Jets are still 4 points behind them.

Bring 'em on. It'll be a hell of a series, but if you want to come out of the East, I think it's going to go through Pittsburgh. If we get them out of the way in the 1st round, I would like our chances to go all the way.

Flyers are 3-1 against them so far, so we can play with those guys. And I think it'll be huge to get over them. They've sent us home a couple times the last few years in the playoffs..

Pittsburgh looks great now, but anything can happen play-off time. I do think that they're the team to beat though. Crosby, Malkin, and Staal are all healthy and they're better talent wise than the team that won in 2009.

Philly is our biggest threat in the East in my opinion. I'd still like to say the we edge you in 6 or 7, but I guess I'm biased, hah. As long as your goaltending situation holds up in the playoffs, it'll be a good matchup.

Red Wings have turned a 4-1 deficit into a 5-4 lead.

Wow, finally a win. Amazing.

[BlueNGold]

So much for playoffs, I guess.

[daflyboys]

Briere heating up ... Bryz been hot. Can't be coming at a better time.
