For any hockey fans out there (usually Canadians, Europeans, northern Yankees, and the children of Gary Bettman's machinations--represent!), the NHL post-season is upon us and the two-month(ish) quest for Lord Stanley's Mug has begun!
8 teams from each of the two conferences (West and East, each comprised of 15 teams) have made their way in, and will battle (bludgeon?) each other through 3 rounds of playoffs in a best of 7 format (click on the Road to the Cup tab on the left side of the page to bring up the EA NHL Hockey-esque tracker):

Since my team is out of the playoffs (really, really out of the playoffs, and drafting first overall in June...) I've jumped on the Montreal Canadiens bandwagon (it'll take until the Conference Finals for me to start cheering for Vancouver). Being a fan of the underdog, I'd love to see the Phoenix Coyotes win it all, but the pragmatist in me thinks that it'll be Philadelphia or Detroit--maybe against each other!
Anybody else following along? Probably too late to start up a PF playoff pool, but oh well...
I can't really justify spending 6-12 hours a day watching hockey (especially with a thesis to finish...), but CBC is offering video-streaming for those in Canada, and I believe that NHL.com is at least offering live audio!
