^Yeah but Florida really starts winning them at the end of the season. They always get hot at the end.

3/12/2008 12:25:19 PM

They always choke at the end. Always. I am so confident in this that I will say without fear of any jinx or punishment by the hockey gods that Florida is not to be considered a remote threat.

3/12/2008 12:29:38 PM

Florida has won 4 in a row and here is a list of their remaining opponents:

Washington: 1 away, 1 home
Carolina: 1 away, 1 home
Atlanta: 1 away, 2 home
Tampa: 1 away, 1 home
Isles: 1 home
Rangers: 1 home

They do worry me because of that weak schedule, especially if they keep their streak going(4 in a row going into tonight)

Washington has choked some games away here lately, and they don't seem like they have it together enough to really push us. Plus, here is their schedule:

Carolina: 1 home, 1 away
Atlanta: 1 home, 1 away
Tampa: 1 home, 1 away
Florida: 1 home, 1 away
Calgary: 1 home
Boston: 1 home
Chicago: 1 away
Nashville: 1 away

Seems like Florida will have an easier time collecting points over the stretch. I know they like to implode over the stretch, and havent been to the playoffs in a season that started in this decade, but I don't want to be the guy who ignores this and it comes and bites me in the ass

After one goal each, I bet they're happy now.

2-0 Hurricanes, nine left in the first!

3/12/2008 7:59:55 PM

Eric Staal with 11 points in 5 games. And this game is far from over (nojinxplz).

3/12/2008 10:02:55 PM

i think the main question from this game is:

why is "byfuglien" pronounced "bufflin"

3/12/2008 10:05:02 PM

i hope cullen is ok, that landing looked vicious.

^the same reason toews is 'taves' and kryzewski is 'sha-sheff-ski'

It'd be great to hit 6 in a row on Friday, but something makes me suspect we'll throw Grahame in.

3/13/2008 1:24:26 AM

yea it will be tough to get 6 wins in a row without ward in net but crackers has shown some ability to play out of his mind everyonce and awhile

3/13/2008 8:20:44 AM

^LOL

3/13/2008 9:43:57 AM

dont forget the last time he played buffalo, didnt we lose by $texas?

3/13/2008 9:45:52 AM

So we are definitely tailgating Sunday. Probably going to get out there around 10 as to consume much beer and tailgating food. I will be bringing the grill out with some burgers and hotdogs. Everyone is invited, come out for as long as you want. I will bring plenty of food, but byob. Sweden will be there as well. We will be in the employee lot(free), for any details PM me or send me an AOL message at: steviewonder0101.

Don't be shy, if you have questions about parking, PM me and we will figure it out. Its the perfect substitute for post-football tailgating and a great way to celebrate the pack 'basketball' season being over with. It is am Ward figurine night too, so thats good. Bret Hedicone may be in attendance

3/13/2008 2:08:04 PM

w00t for TWW tailgates

I shall probably make an appearance. Looks like the weather is going to be pretty nice. If you need me to pick up any food I can do that. Cherokee will come as well since I have his ticket and he appears any time the word alcohol is said.

3/13/2008 2:16:14 PM

3/13/2008 2:27:02 PM

i would love to go but we dont have tickets until the caps game next saturday

i'd love to tailgate then

3/13/2008 4:29:38 PM

I love this picture...Buffalo losing in overtime with a foot in the crease for good measure.

3/13/2008 5:20:12 PM

Tampa beat Boston tonight and Atlanta is up on Calgary last I checked....

Good news I guess, because Tampa although not statistically not out of it, beat Boston who currently holds 7th.... in case Washington or Florida take over the SE lead
