If you're going to hockey games just for the fights, you're too stupid to have money. Week 24:
Monday: Anaheim over Detroit. The top three seeds in the West are Nashville, Anaheim, Minnesota? Do the first two cities even know what hockey is? Real result: Detroit 1, Anaheim 0
Tuesday: Tampa Bay over Florida. Panthers broadcaster Denis Potvin will bellyache about the officiating the entire time, further separating him from Bobby Orr in the grand scheme of things. Real result: Florida 5, Tampa Bay 2
Tuesday: New Jersey over New York Islanders. Don't you long for the stability of when Mike Milbury was running the Islanders? Real result: New Jersey 3, New York Islanders 2
Wednesday: Carolina over Philadelphia. Watch as Rod Brind'Amour tries not to smile smugly. Real result: Philadelphia 5, Carolina 1
Thursday: Atlanta over Toronto. And the Toronto media will weep, weep, weep. Real result: Atlanta 3, Toronto 2 (OT)
Thursday: St. Louis over Edmonton. Don't you wish you could pack it in when someone good leaves your place of work, like the Oilers have? Real result: St. Louis 5, Edmonton 2
Running record: 76-70.
The Hockey Curmudgeon feels like dropping the gloves every day.
