Carolina on my mind...and my shoe

-Someone forgot to tell the Hurricanes that a win last night would have cemented them into the playoffs as the 3rd seed of the eastern Conference. Thanks to their epic Mama Cass choke, they now await the winner of the Capitals/Panthers game. The same Panthers that defeated them last night.

-Speaking of collapse, the Ottawa Senators have installed a beeping noise into their team, that way everyone knows that they backed into the playoffs. The Canes loss gave Ottawa a playoff spot, and the chance to relax for a few days since they have no remaining regular season games.

-Montreal takes on Toronto in each of those respective teams last games of the regular season. In the case of Toronto, their last game of this hockey year. If Toronto can pull off an upset, the Penguins would clinch the eastern Conference for only the 2nd time in their history. The 1st and only time the Penguins were the best team in the East, they were also the best team in hockey, winning their only President's trophy. I need not remind true hockey fans what happened that playoff season, but if you forgot, don't ever say the name Volek around Pittsburgh.

-My prediction is a Penguins/Flyers first round match-up. If you don't hate the Flyers yet, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??!!, but also, you will, if this match-up happens.

Nick will have the preview later on, but that is all from Aaron. IFYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN!
