How’s the playoffs going for everybody to this point? I’m most intrigued by the Dallas-Anaheim series, which Dallas of course is leading 2-0. Now I predicted Dallas would win the series, and I think I’m one of the few from what I have been able to gather in the past week. Anaheim was considered a favorite among a lot of prognosticators as a Stanley Cup favorite, and why not. They have been on a roll since the return of Scott Niedermayer and especially since Teemu Selanne came back. But as well as the Ducks play defense, they are among the lowest scoring teams in the league. And in the playoffs, you have to be able to find a way to score some goals. Anaheim had two in the first two games. We’ll see what happens when the series shifts back to Dallas for Games 3 and 4.....

Here’s the promised news.... Vinny Lecavalier is scheduled to undergo surgery on his right shoulder on Tuesday. The procedure will be performed by renowned orthopeadic specialist Dr. James Andrews at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. The team will provide an update on the surgery, which will be done between late morning and early afternoon on Tuesday.

UPDATE 7:15 P.M. ON TUESDAY

Still waiting on official update from the team in regards to Vinny’s surgery. He went into the operating room a bit later than expected and as of 6:30 or so he had just gone into recovery. And since Alabama is an hour behind, things are behind for that reason as well. When I get word on what the situation is from the team, I’ll pass it along!!!!
