Not 9 months any more...

Very cute, but wouldn't she look even better in these? I thought I heard her saying "Fluery, Fluery".

Though as much as I REALLY hate to say it (and I mean REALLY), I think Ottawa has a legitimate chance of upsetting NY. They are better than an 8th seed should be, and the season series was 3-1 in their favor... anything can happen. Lundqvist has to be stellar if NY wants to advance.

Just had to bring this up again

Go Preds!

It's awesome. Absolutely awesome. Every phase has moments that are great, but it's fun to have conversation with her while she's in the car seat and around the house.

It's going to be weird going from my daughter feeding herself to the 4 oz bottles, my wife breast feeding, and burp clothes again.

She's got a pink jersey that matches my wife's breast cancer jersey. Got a picture of my daughter somewhere reaching out for a fist bump in the jersey.

Yes, I called it. Nashville will be content with finally beating the Wings, they won't go far. You can quote that too.

What - 2010? Or 2011?

Cheers!

2011 wasn't historical for either team in that series.

Last year that was true, they were content with a first round win. I couldn't disagree more that it's the case this year. They've been there now, and the moves they made at the deadline added playoff experience. That, coupled with how they're playing... Rinne's playing out of his mind, Hal Gill should be back which will allow Weber to spend less time on kills, they're the first team to advance winning 2 games in Detroit's building where just winning one is no small feat. If I were to pick a team out of the West, right now, it's Nashville.

I know I'm going to sound like a homer by saying this, but I wouldn't underestimate the Blues if I were you.

All four (Nashville, Blues, Phoenix, LA) are playing great hockey.
