Friends coming over to watch the opening night Flames/Canucks tilt, so be out for a bit. For interested parties, some useful team-by-team previews here, although hopefully this is more accurate.
The Only Championship Team I Will Ever Cheer For won its only championship 20 years ago today. (The last remaining member of the team hung it up this year too.).
If it's mid-April, it must be time for the joint Berube-Lemieux Stanley Cup Playoff preview. Michael's picks are here, and I'm dismayed that he's not giving the Flames more respect.
I have been criticized in comments for not properly acknowledging the Red Wings' Stanley Cup victory, so consider it acknowledged. As Kaufman says, the series didn't quite become a classic.
Finally, the N.H.L. has altered their awful schedule, under which teams visit those in other conferences only once every three years. Since I was in Calgary for 12 days last.
