The Preds and Sabres once again trade the top spot, while the Rangers were the big winners this week in the spot jump. They’re one place behind the Islanders and their crybaby coach. Meanwhile, the pitty has to go to the Flyers, for still being behind teams like the Kings and Oilers who are showing no heart down the stretch. Where did your team finish this week?

42-17-11 | Need a reason why the points system needs an overhaul, take away the Ducks’ OTLs, and they’re in third, instead of their ten point lead. |

42-19-8 | They might be too far in front for the story of the year to catch them. Broudeur for Hart. |

41-23-5 | Alain Vigneault is a perfectionist. His team has won four out of their last five, but listening to him, the Canucks have lost their last fifty in a row. |

| 18 (21) |  |
34-29-6 | If it wasn’t for Evgini Malkin, Paul Stastny would be your Calder winner. Fans of the Colorado Avalanche should be excited about this team. It’s a great young and solid core. |

What about those KC Pens? Yes, The KC Pens? I’m glad it’s over, so now I can start worrying about more important things, like gambling on the NCAA tournament profusely.
KC Pens… You have to admit, early last week, it really looked hopeless. It looked like Kansas City was going to get the Pens.
Good work on everyone’s part.
