NHL Ice Hockey Playoffs - May 12

Lots of excitement with game 6s and games 7s looming in this round. Break out your favorite hockey jerseys and make sure you wear them around town to show off your loyalties.

The sad thing is that the Vancouver Canucks got ca'nuked right out of the playoffs. Ah, no more Canadian teams in the playoffs. At this point I am pulling for the Pens.

My Tivo is getting full almost every night :-)

Looking forward to the next round. I love the intensity that all the players bring to the rink at this time of year!

Ice Hockey Playoffs Are Coming

We are getting near the end of the regular season for NHL Ice Hockey. There are a lot of teams that are battling very hard to get into the playoffs or trying to cement or improve their standings for home ice advantage. It is a ton of fun to watch hockey at this time of year because it is really playoff hockey for a lot of teams. This is especially true in the west this year due to so many teams just a few points away from in or out of the playoffs.

As of 3/30/2009 (with games still to be played tonight) the current standings are:

IN if Playoffs started today:
San Jose Sharks

Welcome to the Sports Galore Blog!

I am an avid sports fan of many sports. My favorite sports to watch are Ice Hockey, NHL Football and MLB Baseball. I also enjoy watching professional lacrosse, soccer and many more. I like to play a few of these sports and participate in fantasy sports leagues.

Some sports work much better for fantasy sports leagues than others. I think fantasy football and fantasy baseball are the best fantasy sports to play. It is a lot of fun watching the games and I end up paying a lot more attention to all of the games that have one of my players playing in them.

Anyway, welcome to my site and please feel free to jump in with comments to any of the posts!
