It's time for the league to move every team that has a longitudinal coordinate of 37? or less. That allows Washington and a few other teams that ought to be moved to have a bit more time. So, in addition to Atlanta, let's move the Tampa Bay Lightning (I'm with Jen that they become the Quebec Lightning), Nashville Predators, Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, and Phoenix Coyotes.

Let's give opportunities to a bunch of appropriate cities to get NHL teams: Saskatoon, Duluth, Portland (Maine), Halifax, Fargo, Grand Rapids, Hartford ...

You forgot the FL PANTHERS but then they are a very forgetable team and i can live with the Sharks and Kings out in CALI but the other for mentioned teams need to fold or move north where the should have been to start with

You're right! In my excitement over one southern team being relocated, I did leave out the Panthers. I also left out the Carolina Hurricanes. Okay, so let me add both to the list, and to the list of cities to which teams can relocate I'll add Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island) and Anchorage (Alaska).

Ugly, ugly, ugly! The Bruins go up 3-0 on mistakes by the Lightning. The Lightning tie the game on mistakes by the Bruins. And then it all falls apart for Boston. Ugly, ugly, ugly!

Didn't you learn anything from the Penguins? now listen up when you have the skateblade on their throat stamp down and finish them off

While not official it looks like the Thrashers are leaving hotLanta and going to Winnipeg
While it's very unlikely they'll be the Jets they maybe called THE MOOSE

I can't believe it.

Sharks are losing 3-1 to the Sharks. They are not getting outplayed or "choking". I've seen enough to know the difference. This is just total self-destruction.

All this way and and they lose confidence, change their game, lose focus, try too hard, don't try enough, stupid penalties (lots of them).

Who stole the entire Sharks team and replaced them with knuckleheads? This is some Canadian trick! They're all playing like star-eyed rookies,

I know how Jen feels (actually I feel how Jen feels)... but a glimmer of hope remains. One game at a time. They are better than this, and are as good as Vancouver.

San Jose's downfall this game wasn't the fact that they gave up the PP goals(or even the penalties they took to give Vancouver so many 5 on 3's), it was the fact that they were 0-5 on their own PP to start the game.

Even though I am rooting for Vancouver, I can't say too many bad things about the way the Sharks have played the series. They have played with a heart that they never used to be known for. Thornton has even changed his play. He used to be invisible in the playoffs, but he is playing very well this year.

I think he won't be very effective next game due to his injured shoulder, but I respect the fact that he is still going to try and play regardless of how hurting he is.

Shades of Game #7 last year against Philly!

However, they didn't let it get to them for last night's game and they beat Tampa Bay 3-1(Smith got the start over Roloson). Thomas let in an early goal, but he was perfect the rest of the way. The save he made with his stick was phenominal!

Whoever said on Versus that it would be on highlight reels for years to come was, I am sure, correct.

A great moment in hockey history for sure but i still think Bobby Orr's leap is better and more classic

I agree, but why are we comparing the two?
