Make sure to check out the CBC NHL Bloggers Roundtable. Great to see traditional media websites enlisting hockey bloggers in the last few weeks. Thanks to James Mirtle for the pointer. JABS is up to something different, again using cool & hip bloggers, at least I think that is what Chris is trying to say.

via the AP,

The Minnesota Wild announced a slight increase Friday for season-ticket prices. The Wild attributed the rise for 2006-07 to inflation. Club-level seats will jump $5 each per game, to $85 and $75. Lower-level seats will rise $1.50 each per game, to $74, $64 and $54. Upper-level seats will go up 50 cents each game, to $30 and $12.50. Club-level seating will include a three-year term, with current prices frozen for the remaining two years. With arena capacity listed at 18,064, the Wild has averaged a paid crowd of 18,563 over their streak of 228 straight sellouts - including postseason and preseason and dating to the franchise's inception in 2000. At several games this season, however, there were significant numbers of empty seats.

Many of you Dish subscribers know I have been mentioned a few times in the last month or so that Dish & OLN are talking. They still continue to discuss getting the playoffs on Dish Network and maybe something very soon.

The Fan Zone

OLN has added a Fan Zone to their NHL section. Looks like they will be offering a playoff review video podcast after games each night. added 4:02pm, I just got off the phone with OLN (they actually talked with me this time) regarding the HD broadcasts of some of the OLN games. Their response was it is up to each individual carrier to decide where to place the HD broadcast. Many of us know INHD made room on their channels for the season HD broadcasts, but INHD has nothing on their schedule as of today. So basically, we are in a wait and see mode. The HD schedule is included in the first round schedule at OLN.

Streaming Of Playoff Games

I mentioned a few days ago Comcast will be streaming playoff games. The schedule wasn't available at that time, but it is now. Remember, you have to be a Comcast High Speed Internet customer to get the live streaming. Thanks to a KK reader for the heads up. update 9:23pm, I just received an email from the sports editor at Comcast.net and was told the streaming is free to anyone, meaning you don't have to be a Comcast subscriber. So check it out!!!

Goalie & Special Teams Are Key

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

from Dave Hodge of TSN,

Old adage number one - goalies make the difference in a playoff series. Old adage number two - special teams make the difference in a playoff series. They may be old theories, but dust them off and affix a colorful new label marked 20-0, and you've got the two keys to any playoff predictions you might be making. If goaltending and special teams were important before, they may be all that matters this time.

On The Edge

The News & Observer does a story on the matchups between the Hurricanes and Canadiens called "Who Has The Edge". They break down the goatending, defense, etc., the kind of information we have all read when comparing two teams. But this one got me- Who Has The Edge- When the Canes have the puck- they break it down and give the Edge to Carolina. Now- Who Has The Edge when the Canadiens have the puck? Uh, Carolina! WHAT?

Watch The Grinders

from the Hockey News,

At no time is the role of the grinder more important than during the playoffs. Veterans such as Detroit’s Kris Draper and Edmonton’s Ryan Smyth use their cycling and scoring skills to turn the tide of a game. "When they get the puck in deep, they are hard to play against,” Paddock said. “(They change) the momentum.”
