Yes Potvin was a better Goalie in my opinion, i think Pavel Bure is the only reason you made it to the finals in the first place.

Well Kirk Mclean just was a terrible goalie in my opinion, just like Irbe the year he got on a hot streak for Carolina and eliminated the Leafs, but Detroit got to him and down went Carolina.

I love that Chad hits everything in site, he plays hard every night, and he sure scored 2 goals last night.

agreeded he has way better speed than I ever excpected from watching him with other teams in previous years, huge that Tucker and Welly are back but I guess wellwood didn't play much last night so I hop everything is cool there. I'm so glad that Aki Berg and Wade Belak no longer play significant minutes, like having a decent defence is so forgien to me

Well at least Aki is back in Finland, well Wade still plays defence on some nights and scares me every time he's on the ice, i do like him as forward on some nights, like say if Janssens is playing or Orr, McGratten, but if the other teams tough guy is not in the lineup i have no use for Wade Belak.

Belak is good as a fourth liner cause he knows the deal and what he is excpected to do, I remember there was a game where it was him newberry and I think maybe Kilger and it was the best forcheck I have ever seen, maurice rolled them and the sundin/poni/antro line back to back and without exageration the leafs changed lines completly and never lost possesion of the puck in teh offensive zone

So you live in Edmonton, how crazy was it last year, with all the dreams of Oiler fans flushed down the drain.

it was fun while it lasted but I was glad they lost becaue I never would hear the end of it, it was even better this year because all my friends were naive to think that they desereved to be in the finals and logically (well illogically) belived they would be back again this year so when things didn't go as good as the planned it was so much fun to see thier lines change from "Oilers are going to win the division" to "fuck the oilers"

Guess you missed 92 when he finished in second for the Vezina?

Ya well i believe the Leafs had the same amount of points as the Oilers last year but the Oilers are in a different conference and luckly got to the finals.

Well i do believe a Canuck goalie who deserves to win the vezina might get it this year.

Well that's good, in my opinion McLean was about as good as Raycroft is now.

Sundin: Playoff seeding stinks

Mats Sundin is not a fan of how the playoff seeding works in the NHL.

"You should be seeded by how many points you get, not being in a (soft) division," Sundin said in the Toronto Sun.

Currently the Atlanta Thrashers have the third seed in the Conference despite having less points (89) than both Pittsburgh and Ottawa who have 98.

"We've been on the bad end of that a couple of times," Sundin said. "One year we were seeded fifth one year when we should have been seeded fourth. Another year we should have been third, and we were fourth. It changes who you play. It affects you."

Under this system, Ottawa and Pittsburgh will meet in the first round meaning one of the top four teams in the East will be guaranteed to be out by the second round.

It also gives the sixth place team the advantage of perhaps avoiding a better team in the first round because of the skewed ranking system.

Meanwhile, in the National Post, it was reported that injured centre Michael Peca is still recovering from a broken right leg and will not be available for any of Toronto's remaining regular season games.

The injury will keep him on the sidelines until at least the first round of the playoffs

"It doesn't demoralize me," Peca said. "I'm just going to keep working hard. The team's playing great, so I know I'll get a chance to play regardless."
