It is the most wonderful time of the year for you puckheads out there! Its the period on the calendar when the Columbus Blue Jackets get to work on their gold game! Of course, here in Chicago we call it "The Playoffs" or "Regular" but different strokes for different folks, amirite?

Anyway, who do you guys like? Is this the year Ovi and the Caps finally break through? Is this the year Crosby and the Pens return to form? Can my beloved Hawks put another jewel in the crown or will St. Louis finally slay their Blackhawks dragon? Dallas sure looks primed to make life hard on a lot of teams.

What say you, 11W hockey fans? Who ya got?
