I'm just waiting for Winnipeg to get a team back - Go Jets

I was getting all set for that Leafs/Flyers Quarter Finals. Looks like we'll have to wait 'til Tues night to see.
Have you seen the NHL Playoff Screensaver and Desktop at cbc.ca ? Pretty cool.

That is cool, right now I feel like plastering my walls, desk & everything else with NHL/Flyers stuff.
