When listening to pundits pontificate on the playoffs, I keep reading about how San Jose and Vegas are dangerous. Vegas is supposed to be the team to beat in the west. St Louis is a team "no one wants to face". San Jose was getting all kinds of adulation when they had won 7 straight, and Winnipeg and Nashville are top teams and still favorites despite recent struggles.

Have spent a lot of time on highways recently, mostly listening to NHL radio on Sirius. Despite the (supposedly) Canadian content there, most of the talking heads barely mention the Flames. Most were wagging the Sharks a few weeks back to take the West (wonder what they're thinking now?) and Vegas to be the team to beat. I find it all kind of amusing, and would be happy to be the dark horse in the race.
And, of course, Burns for the Norris and either Trotz or Cooper for the Jack (or maybe Tocchet if Ari makes it; no mention of Gio or Peters).
Haven't been driving for a bit - too much tax crap to do - but look forward to my next driving which will afford me the opportunity to see if the convo has changed!
Oh ... 20 year-old Tawny Port for me....
