Wow, I can't believe no one wrote a post for this topic (myself included) this entire season. Oh well.
I don't think anyone in Vancouver could have predicted the season that was. So incredible. And now off to the playoffs... Game 1 is this Wednesday night - round one vs. the Dallas Stars. The last time we played the Stars in playoff hockey was 1994...
Oh, and I'm so ecstatic that the Leafs didn't make the playoffs... <ducks and covers from GC Leafs fans...>

Were Toronto and Edmonton the only Canadian teams that didn't make the playoffs?
I have to cheer for Tampa Bay, since they are our new affiliate next season and the Blackhawks (surprise, surprise! NOT!) didn't make the playoffs yet again. It isn't going to be easy to beat New Jersey, but it is possible.

Montreal didn't make it either  . It's just Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa.

The wings look good this season but the key is Hasek. I am nervous about the Calrgary series, Kiprusoff is one of if not the best netminder in the biz right now.
I like Buffalo in the east but man, 1-8 in the west are pretty close talent wise.
I want to see how Calgary fans treat Bertuzzi in game three.

Yeah, the Quebec Nordiques and the Winnipeg Jets didn't make it either, even though they were reincarnated as the Colorado Avalance and the Phoenix Coyotes (they didn't do so great).

Am going with the sentimental pick of cheering for the Pens in the playoffs. My first real hockey exposure was obtained when we moved to Pittsburgh, so without the Penguins I wouldn't be the CBJ fan I am today.
Is it next season yet?

The broadcasting is gonna be interesting. Don Cherry will be making his US Broadcasting debut
Be afraid...be very afraid
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...tion=si_latest
NEW YORK (AP) -- Don Cherry is bringing his loud mouth and louder outfits south of the border.
The outspoken former coach of the Boston Bruins, who has been a fixture on CBC's Hockey Night In Canada telecasts for more than 25 years, will make his U.S. broadcasting debut as part of NBC's Stanley Cup playoff telecasts, the network announced Tuesday.
"A lot of people have written that what I say up here I would never get away with it down in the States," said Cherry, the Bruins' coach from the 1974-75 season until the 1978-79 campaign. "I'll just go on and do what I have to do.
"In the States, they wanted me to go on one time in Pittsburgh. Jaromir Jagr, it was when he had long hair and he was with Mario Lemieux and I said, 'There's Mario and his daughter.' It didn't go over too good. That was my last time in the States."
Cherry will be teamed with Brett Hull, the never-shy former player who is in his first season with NBC.
"Better get some plaids," Cherry said.
Hull will also to contribute to CBC's coverage in Canada.
"He tells it like it is," Hull said of Cherry. "If they did it on a regular basis, he would be just as popular down here as he is up there. Part of the thing that's missing, not with just hockey, but in all coverage in the American sports world, is some personality. I think that's why you see a guy like Terry Bradshaw, as popular as he is.
"He's not just Mr. P.C., going, 'That was a nice catch and throw."'
The dude has some scary outfits

Or maybe I'm just exhausted considering how long last night's game between Vanc and Dallas lasted - I passed out sometime during the THIRD overtime...

YES!!!!!!! A loud, proud, and PSL holding CBJ fan, thankyouverymuch. Playoffs? Who needs some stinking playoffs?
The answer to that, of course, is anyone and everyone who has been supporting the Columbus Blue Jackets franchise since day one. And then some. Target: Next Year!

The game vs the Sharks was something else! I am surprised we got outta San Jose in one piece!
I am hoping that DH scores playoff tickets
