Im sure Eklund was trying to say some thing with the title of his blog today about the start of the start of the 2nd round (western conference) series between DET and ANA.  What that something is completely escapes me (and the members of his site) as it makes no sense on ANY level (to true NHL fans).

A few good replies from the regulars of his own site kinda sum it up:

S Kaspar Rollins: “Uh no, unless I blacked out and it’s suddenly June….so the Wings finally moved to the East did they? “

IndianaSabresFan: “Only if you are on drugs and don’t realize that there is an eastern conference too..”

To Coach or Not to Coach….

Thanks to “-X-” for this catch:  In one of his blogs yesterday, Eklund talked about which goalie Gainey would go with last night, citing “sources” saying it would be Halak.  He then goes on to refer to how Gainey made a last minute switch last year in the playoffs to Halak.

Problem is, Gainey was not the coach last year….it was Guy Carbonneau.

** On a side note, it turns out his “sources” were wrong as usual….Carey Price started.

Another Day, Another Error (surprised?)

In his blog tonight, Eklund talked about the Canadiens being down 3-0 in games and whether they could come back.  With his vast hockey knowledge he refered to last years playoffs and how the Bruins were down 3-0 and came back to force a game 7.

Only problem is Boston was never down 3-0, they won game 3 to make it 2-1.

Hossa Plays for CHI?

Once again, Eklund shows his stupidity in his blog tonight.  While ranting like his opinion actually means something, he refers to the Cammalleri cheap shot at Hossa, but last time I checked Hossa plays for DET and not CHI.

I mean come on…..this is not a simple spelling mistake, we are talkling about 2 completely different players in Havlat and Hossa and its not like Hossa ever played for Chi to explain his mixup. [view screenshot]

In his blog today, poor Eklund cant even get the name of Doug Risebrough correct.  This is a Gm that has been with MIN for 9 years (since September 2, 1999)
