Columbus

The Chicago Hockey Blog is reporting that Blackhawks prospects Kyle Beach and Akim Aliu have both been sent home for disciplinary reasons. (H/T to Taking Note) Hockey day or wedding day? Is this really a choice? Stan Fischler likes the Rangers in Game 4. The Hawks and Flames hate each other, according to Sportsnet. Probably the love triangle between Pierre McGuire, Dion Phaneuf and Brent Seabrook. Rory Boylen digs the atmosphere in Columbus. Might be the first time that sentence was ever uttered. Bob Gainey calls on Montreal fans to respect the American national anthem. I agree with him. The Habs have American players in their lineup, and it is a prime example of boorish behaviour to boo another country's anthem. I saw Habs fans do this in New Jersey, where they either sat, booed or did both to the American and Canadian anthems. Check out the Dallas Stars blog for a list of buzzwords used to describe the Stars' season.
