    Keep in mind though, the pens blue line might be beat up but so are some key forwards for Nashville in Johansson and Fisher and Fiala, the trade off is pretty even. 

    I'd like to see the preds take it. 

    Fisher has been skating, so there is a possibility he may return. Hopefully Craig Smith will also be able to compete.

    I first noticed Pekka Rinne as an awesome goalie back in KHLs Jokerit year or two ago. I actually started watching Preds games this season because of him, but I kind of got underwhelmed with what I saw. Now, he is back big time and the team plays pretty exciting hockey.

    On the other hand, I find Blues as very slow and indecisive to my liking. Not going to be shocked if they are the team with the least shots on goal average. That said, you can win with quality not quantity, but it is just as IP says "least compelling to watch". From watching the game last night, I lean towards Preds just because Pekka has superb game and the team is very cohesive. Unless blues pulls them self together, I think Preds will continue to be a surprise in these playoffs.

    Rinne never played for Jokerit. During the 2012 lockout he played for Dinamo Minsk.

    I am bummed that I can not watch the games because I live in Ducks territory. With my NHL subscription, I have to wait for two days before I can see the game, by then I would already know the scores and stuff and it is a bummer. Need to see if I have a TV channel that shows them, I would love to watch this series.

    Do you have cable?

    So yeah.  Woo?  I dunno.  I'm tempted to ask and see if you expert type people out there think the W88/P40/P88/MC curve is better for beginners vs. the E28/MC4 curve, but I have no confidence that I'll actually listen to the answers if I get some new weird bug up my ass about curves... Maybe a Sakic curve would be perfect!!!!!!  :-)

    I wouldn't say that any curve is necessarily better than another, but you will most likely have to adapt your shooting style as you switch between curves. I have been playing for fifteen years and prefer shooting with mids and mid-heels. You should also be aware of stick lie, depth, and the face as you go between curves. I tried shooting with a True MC and hated it, but in theory it's the same as a Warrior W88 or a CCM P40, which are the two main curves I'm using. However, that may have been due to lie and kick point instead of the curve itself because I later modified the stick to a Bauer P88 curve and still don't like it. I never had any success with the Easton Sakic, but again, plenty of other people have and it's personal preference. My advice: if you find a curve that you enjoy, don't drop the extra money trying to switch curves to shoot with the same specs as your favorite player. If there's a Hockey Monkey around you, I also recommend asking to use their shooting lane and you can try all the demo sticks they have in there as well. Good luck to you :)
