I love this time of year.
Teams are scrapping for every inch of leverage, every foot of ice, every possession, because they all know, that this may be their last few games of the year.
As the regular season winds down, some teams are fighting for their playoff lives, especially in the Northwest Division, where a minuscule amount of points separate the division leader from those who will be watching from a Lazy Boy in two weeks.
While the Avalanche, Flames, Canucks, Oilers and Wild all jockey for position in the standings, other teams are fighting for other things.
The Sharks and the Wings are battling for home ice advantage in the playoffs, an extremely underrated thing to have.
In the East, things are a little more settled, but not much. The Flyers, Leafs and Islanders are all gunning for one another. However, the Flyers seem to be in the best position to take it. The Leafs are with out Mats Sundin, and the Isles are without Rick DiPietro, (he F**ked his hip up again)
once the playoff picture is set, ill make sure you get a playoff synopsis...
until next time, keep your stick on the ice!
