Well, PickShack was right about three things regarding the All-Star Game; high-scoring, not physical and nonexistent defensive. We were wrong about the winner, thanks to Tim Thomas!

Back to real business: The final stretch to the playoffs.

Hockey is the sport who offers the best final race for a playoff spot (baseball being second, but very close!). Games will be physical, scoring will not be high, but at the same time won't be low, and a lot of trash talk will be said. The most interesting games will be between teams ranked 7-10 in their conference. They will all be playing and fighting for a playoff spot and no quarters will be given. If you are a hockey fan, this is some of the best, edge-of-your-seat hockey and will be very interesting.
