Except the best team in the West in 2010 (points-wise) in the Sharks.
The parody in the NHL is making it less likely to see many sweeps. I was surprised the Ducks took out the Jets in 4.

That happened once, 5 years ago, hungry team, against the #1 seed etc

Wait, where did I say anything about home ice?

You didn't, but you quoted a post about home ice

Is PK really that important in a puck possession gameplan? I mean, what makes the blackhawks better at puck kicking than other teams? Isn't handling the puck with the stick much more of an important factor in puck possession? Also, if the PP isn't as good as their PK, how much does that say about puck kicking and puck possession's correlation?

PK is not puck kicking

Puck kicking is important too if you watched the final seconds of the WSH-NYI series

Potentially big news out of practice this morning: Teuvo in a black sweater, Versteeg in white.

That could mean Teuvo goes back into the lineup and Versteeg goes out.

:fap:

Shoulda drafted Backstrom over Toews, a far better PuckKicker
