RIDICULOUS diving goal on a rebound by Boston College just now in overtime to upset Miami and advance to the Frozen Four.

Quote :

"Slap Shots has learned that the Players Association - with input on the number from the NHL - projects revenues to reach $2.575B this season, an 11.1-percent increase over the 2006-07 Hockey Related Revenue (HRR) of $2.318B. The cap should increase at a slightly higher rate because the players' share of the gross increases from 55.5 percent to 56.333 percent at the $2.5B revenue threshold. It assumes the players will once again exercise their option to approve a five-percent inflation bump. Thus the PA estimates that the cap will be approximately $56.3M - give or take in concert with the final HRR number that will be determined by playoff revenues - next season, an increase of $6M from this year. It means clubs will be able to maintain summer rosters of up to nearly $62M in payroll before personnel decisions come due at the end of the training camp. "

If this shit keeps rising so rapidly there's not even going to be a point to a cap anymore.

Good to see revenues going up so much though.

Technically the Rangers have a higher winning percentage at The Rock than MSG.



In all seriousness though, it should be an awesome series. Hopefully it goes better for the Rangers than the series two years ago.

Since the Canes are out, I guess I'll do what I did last year: cheer for the Canadian teams.

Go Montreal, Ottawa, and Calgary!

East:

1) Montreal Canadiens vs. 8) Boston Bruins
4) New Jersey Devils vs. 5) New York Rangers
3) Washington Capitals vs. 6) Philadelphia Flyers
2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. 7) Ottawa Senators

If all goes to form for the top three seeds in the first round, the NHL will get their dream Crosby-Ovechkin matchup in the second round.

West:

1) Detroit Red Wings vs. 8) Nashville Predators
4) Anaheim Ducks vs. 5) Dallas Stars
3) Minnesota Wild vs. 6) Colorado Avalanche
2) San Jose Sharks vs. 7) Calgary Flames

GO CAPS

I don't think I can bring myself to pull for the Habs. But I am all for the Sens and Flames.

If the Devils play like they did today then it will be a fun series. If they play like they have been playing this past month then it will be a quick series.
