Awww.. He thinks he's people!

Actor Harrison Ford was in attendence for Game 6 between the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings. He may have been there as a guest of the Sharks, as it appears he is in a luxury box. It also appears that he may be near Matthew Perry,

Either Ford is hanging out with Chandler Bing, or he is a fan of the San Jose Sharks. Either way, Anze Kopitar is havig some sort of existential crisis. We'll see how he responds in Game 7.

The Phoenix Coyotes have been sold... again.

The deal is contingent on the Coyotes reaching a deal with the city of Glendale.... again.

The group is led by Canadian millionaires... again.

This deal will inevitably fall though.... again.

Tony Reali: All right, you guys, we saw the Penguins defeat the Ottawa Senators in Game 5 last night. Can they be defeated, or is the Cup theirs for the taking? Plaschke?!

Bill Plaschke: You gotta like the Los Angeles Kings here, Tony. They won the cup last year, and and and and I'm just not sure how you pick against the Lakers. I mean Kings. Los Angeles!

Bob Ryan: Plaschke, come on. Obviously the sun out there in Los Angeles has baked you a little too much. How could you make such a homer pick?! Obviously, the biggest threat to the Penguins will be the Boston Bruins. 

Bomani Jones: The Pittsburgh Penguins have scored 4.27 goals a game. Their power play converted nearly 25% of their chances during the regular season, more than 6% better than league average. Sidney Crosby has 7 goals in the playoffs. James Neal had a hat trick last night.

Tim Cowlishaw: I think if anything, Detroit has proven in their handling of the skill players for the Chicago Blackhawks that they will be able to deal with the the speed and agility of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. I think the Blackhawks are a good proxy for a team that would have to face the Penguins down the road. And it's sort of interesting to think that the story early in the season was about the Blackhawks as the dominant team, and now they might --

Tony Reali: All right, final word... Plaschke

Plaschke: Los Angeles!

Ryan: Cam Neely!

Jones: Pittsburgh is the 2nd largest city in Pennsylvania

Cowlishaw: Jimmy Howard is playing --

Reali: All right then, moooving on to the NBA now!

Alternate title: Eat it Pittsburgh And yes, this is way too early to celebrate anything, but one day after I chose Ottawa as the team to root for, they won a thriller against Pittsburgh. I'll take it. 

IF you need help catching up, ofr the first time ever, all three teams important to Barry Melrose Rocks made it to the post season. Of course all three busted out in the first round. The Wild went out meekly against the Blackhawks. Schultz's Islanders at least put up a fight against the Penguins. As for the Maple Leafs... well, we won't talk about the Maple Leafs. 

We've all seen our teams lose and we are coping, ready to move on. But who do we throw our support behind? This are definitely not teams to bet on given our previous track record (but if you want to bet on it, might I recommend sports betting at www.TopBettingReviews,com?) but these are teams that you could throw your support behind and still feel good about it.  Fofllow along after the jump as we count down to the teams that are less villainous. At least, they are in my eyes. 

Hockey players in suits, set to "It's Raining Men."  You're welcome, internet. 

Thank goodness With Leather held onto this screen capture so there is still evidence Jimmy Fallon did a bit last night on the NHL. Why would he get rid of it? Because it was the most awful abuse of NHL names I have ever seen. The riing star of NBC obviously doesn't pay attention to one of their biggest sports packages. That's spectacular work.

Unfortunately, people made fun of this and NBC keeps taking down the clip, so I can't show it to you anymore. If you are going to be a famous television personality or top 4 5 6 network, you need a thicker skin.

And yes, making fun of someone else DOES make me feel better about the Wild crapping out of the playoffs. 

This was the first year the Barry Melrose Rocks teams all got into the playoffs.  The Wild were eliminated, then the Islanders, and now, finally, the Leafs.  All of them were first round exists, which was fun while it lasted. I don’t know about the Wild and the Islanders, but this was about the time for the Leafs’ annual “forget how to pay hockey and have the wheels fly off” tradition. However, the Leafs were an OK team that played the hell out of a really good team AND made it to an overtime game 7, which is way better than I thought they would be.

Anyway, I have a special message for Boston:

Go leafs go, forever.
