Just in case you still are searching for your team's first round playoff schedule, you can find it at NHL.com. If you have a question about OLN in the first round, let me help you out As I noted about 3 weeks ago, your local carrier will still show the game in round 1 if it was/is scheduled to do so. The OLN feed will be blacked out in the local market. Now round 2 is a different story, and you may not want to read about round 2 coverage in order to avoid putting a jinx on your team. added 7:54am, NBC First Round Schedule April 22nd, 3:00 PM ET NY Rangers vs. New Jersey, Game 1 Colorado vs. Dallas, Game 1 April 23rd, 1:00 PM ET Edmonton vs. Detroit, Game 2 San Jose vs. Nashville, Game 2 April 29th, 3:00 PM ET New Jersey vs. NY Rangers, Game 4 Edmonton vs. Detroit, Game 5 April 30th, 2:00 PM ET Colorado vs. Dallas, Game 5 Philadelphia vs. Buffalo, Game 5 The OLN First Round Schedule is in the comment section of this post, too long to post here...Also, note CBC will be televising every first round game of the Canadien teams involved, but some may be on a regional basis and TSN will be covering games thru the first three rounds. added 1:58pm, for the NBC games this weekend, NYR-NJ will be in HD Saturday and EDM-DET will be HD on Sunday.

from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,

It's the 11th hour in terms of NHL teams' playoff preparation, and a handful of teams still don't know, or haven't announced, who will start in goal. The most interesting race is in Tampa Bay, where coach John Tortorella has said publicly that he thinks he will need both John Grahame and Sean Burke for the postseason, even though conventional coaching wisdom is to anoint one guy. "This is not an ideal situation," said former NHL goaltender Darren Pang, now a hockey analyst. "A seven-game series comes at you quickly and if you aren't sure going into it and everyone isn't on the same page, you can be out in four games before you can blink an eye."

from the Toronto Star,

Agent David Frost's prying into Mike Danton's sex life was the catalyst for the former NHL hockey player trying to hire someone to kill Frost, the CBC current affairs program The Fifth Estate reveals Wednesday night. Reporter Bob McKeown used FBI interview tapes, plus interviews with one of Danton's former girlfriends and a male friend to piece together the new information. The program also examines the close relationship between Frost and Bob Goodenow, the former executive director of the NHL Players' Association.

from the blog of Ansar Khan (Wings beat writer) at Mlive,

The Wings, according to several in the organization, will open on Friday if the Rangers don't win their division and draw Buffalo. Here's how it was explained: Buffalo's arena is not available on Friday, forcing the Sabres to play Games 1 and 2 of their series on Saturday and Monday. NBC, which will televise games on Saturday and Sunday, intends to show the Wings one day and the Rangers the other. If the Rangers play the Sabres, they'll play Saturday afternoon on NBC, and NBC will then show the Wings on Sunday, which would be Game 2 of their series.

Yashin A Ranger?

from the Maven at MSG Network,

-A change of scenery is a virtual must for Todd Bertuzzi and Alexei Yashin. We wonder whether the Rangers would be interested in Yash – as a second-liner. Darn right, he wants to stay in the New York area where his long-time gal-pal, Carol Alt, models. As for Bert, his $5.3 million pact is high for all his baggage but the talent – when motivated – is unmistakable. -Teemu Selanne’s take on what he sees as a homestretch officiating slump. “New rules? Wake up! I don’t know what the new rules are anymore.” -Mike Babcock on his Red Wings’ inspiration: “Obviously, it’s not because of money,” Babcock says. “It’s because of passion. It’s because of treating people right. It’s because of great scouting and Kenny Holland and Jimmy Nill and people that have been around here a long time – Jimmy Devellano – have done a heck of a job.” To say the least!

from the Washington Times,

The Washington Capitals are expected to reduce their financial losses by nearly 75 percent this season because of a lower payroll and a new financial structure for the NHL that will provide the team with millions of dollars in revenue-sharing payments. Caps owner Ted Leonsis said he expects to lose about $5 million this year, a sharp change from past seasons when high payrolls contributed to tens of millions of dollars in losses. He also said the team should be profitable by next season as long as fan interest increases. "We're a young, growing team, and there are better days ahead," Leonsis said.
