So....if things continue on as they are now, we will see a final four that features The Carolina Hurricanes, The San Jose Sharks, The Buffalo Sabres, and The Mighty Ducks of Anahiem. No Canadian teams....no fun.

They talk about The Pistons and the Spurs hurting ratings for basketball, but this is the worst thing that could have happened for the hockey postseason. Ottawa and Detroit woud have been choice, but 3 expansion teams and a lovable loser in Buffalo is too much to bear.
