Well, this is it, I guess. Congrats to Henrik and Daniel for their successful careers. End of an era for the Canucks. I'm almost in tears.

Well, at least we freed up 14 million of cap space, so it's not all that bad I guess...hopefully we can get #1 draft pick now, as well as a whole bunch of younger players.

Oh wow. Thanks for the info. I'll have to watch Sportscenter tonight to see the story they do on it.

It especially hurts the Canucks that they won't be able to get any trades out of it since they're leaving. Vancouver should have started rebuilding years ago.

Yeah, I agree. The Canucks management has been trash for the last few years, just refusing to do an actual rebuild 



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Sedins end their final home game of their career in classy fashion.

Daniel sedin, #22, scored his 22nd, assisted by #33 (henrik sedin) at 0:33 of the second period.
#22 also scored his 23rd, assisted by #23 (Alex elder) and #33, at 2:33 of overtime.

There couldn't have been a better ending for them.

There's another game left, at Edmonton. I'm expecting a lot of Canucks fans there.

I know it's not NHL, but a horrible accident occurred in Saskatchewan that killed 14 people in a junior hockey team.

14 people?! Heard about this last night, but christ!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Okay, predictions? I’ve got:

Minnesota over Winnipeg in 6
Colorado over Nashville in 5 (the first round upset)
Vegas over LA in 7
Ducks over Sharks in 6

Toronto over Boston in 7
Tampa over NJ in 4
Pittsburgh over Philly in 5
Washington over Columbus in 7



Minnesota 1-4 Winnipeg
Colorado 2-4 Nashville
Las Vegas 4-2 Los Angeles
Anaheim 3-4 San Jose

Toronto 2-4 Boston
Tampa 4-3 New Jersey
Pittsburgh 3-4 Philly
Washington 4-1 Columbus



Nashville Predators 4-1 Colorado Avalanche
Minnesota Wild 4-3 Winnipeg Jets
Los Angeles Kings 4-3 Vegas Golden Knights
Anaheim Ducks 4-1 San Jose Sharks
New Jersey Devils 4-3 Tampa Bay Lightning
Boston Bruins 4-2 Toronto Maple Leafs
Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 Washington Capitals
Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 Philadelphia Flyers



Nice night tonight. Only 3 games to kick off the playoffs, but great energy/atmosphere. Winnipeg fought hard to win against the Wild. Pens crushed the Flyers. And the hype. The hype in Vegas. Lol. They just scored as I am typing. Great crowds all around, but the scene in Las Vegas was the craziest.
