Despite the 9.9% overall growth, a lot of it's due to the strength of the Canadian dollar. When the Canadian dollar falls, perhaps Hamilton won't be as attractive an option. I think all things considered, I read somewhere that the overall adjusted growth is actually only 2%. That's not the type of growth Bettman was looking for when he expanded the NHL to the Vs. and OLN TV networks. Not as attractive as everyone thinks.

I would take facing the Preds, Avs, and Stars instead of the Rangers, Sens, and Flyers any day. I daresay Detroit’s road to the Finals was easier than the Pens.

Nashville could play a fiesty game but the depth was not there. Dallas was still missing a couple pieces too. Pittsburgh is strong, has offensive depth and many other things going for him.

He has played well. If the flyers win (they are about dead)Umberger, Briere, and Biron should get first consideration.

I don't think Umberger should receive consideration yet, but only because he's only tore up one round of the playoffs.
