Is this not one of the most exciting parts of the regular Hockey season???

Gearing up towards the playoffs - intensitiy growing - trying to get as many points as possible - trade rumors swirling everywhere you turn.

...and then the second season starts. Ahhhh....

Hockey Rules :)

I agree, but contrary to the myth, "It doesn't get any better than this!", it does get better. The first couple rounds of the playoffs where theres a couple huge games on everynight. Then one huge game a night, then as it fizzles out the games get bigger and bigger.

You guys have it a lot easier than most of us at this time of the year!:)

Im holding my breathe hoping the Rangers get to the playoffs, while you's are sitting back waiting to see who you will be playing in the first round.

Huge game tomorrow, Rangers-Habs....Im gonna say a few prayers before hand:)

Yeah, it's pretty exciting, especially since the Canes aren't battling for that 8th playoff spot this year. we held our breaths during every game this time last year, we do have a little bit of breathing room with a 10 ot, lead right now. :)

Its exciting, but so is March Madness :)

It can also be the most frustrating past of the season... like watching your Pens lose at home to the Blue Jackets... when they NEED those points.

Granted... Mario, Lang, Straka... all out... but... it's the BLUE JACKETS! :mad:
