Yesterday we dealt with the Eastern Conference , and for a camp full of drunks, jokesters, and people who can barely take anything seriously…it went surprisingly well. Radar: Speak for yourself. BT: What do you mean? Hawkeye: Frank took Radar’s bear. Said it wasn’t “army regulation.” BJ: I don’t think Frank’s head is “army regulation.” BT: Really? So what did you guys do? Hawkeye: We made him breakfast. Using his uniform. BJ: At least one ...

With the NHL's regular season finishing up this past weekend, it's of course time for one thing: Playoff predictions. Everybody and their mother makes playoff predictions. But here's the thing. I don't bring in my mother. Last year, it was Ron Burgundy. The year before? Frank Drebin. This year? Well we went with a camp-full. The M*A*S*H Camp.   Hawkeye: Why are we even doing this? I don’t even like sports! BJ: Well that depends on who you ...

The first round is where all of the surprises happen. It's where the Cinderella team first puts it's glass slippers on. It's where the we find out who's a real choke artist and which teams were too highly touted coming in to the second season. It's where weird trends like Hulk Hogan (Tampa Bay), throwing rats on the ice (Florida), and towels, pom-poms, and noise-makers make their rounds. So when and where can you ...

I don't know how to tell you this, Mike Modano...but I'll miss you. You may not believe it, but it's true. I may never have gotten to talk to you, we sure aren't pen pals, and we definitely aren't friends on Facebook, but I'll miss you all the same. Sidenote: In fact, there's 39 people who share the name "Mike Modano" on Facebook, three or four "Michael" Modanos, and a fan page. ...

The Stanley Cup. It's quite possibly one of the most difficult trophies in the world to win. To win it, you need an unbreakable team dynamic, a goalie you can trust, and a certain degree of luck. Being hot heading in to the Stanley Cup playoffs can help as well. So amongst Bleacher Report's NHL writers, we asked the question: Who is the most dangerous team heading in to the NHL Playoffs? Simple enough.Begin Slideshow

By nature, media people and scouts can be pretty loud. Whether it's gabbing about the latest game, going over prospect lists, or just telling jokes and sharing a laugh about draft-day hi-jinx, it can get pretty noisy in a room full of them. But Pat Burns shut them up. Pat Burns can shut them up without even being there. He didn't grab their attention by blowing a whistle, banging a stick on ...

The internet is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? While we’ve got Caller ID on our phones so that you can avoid talking to telemarketers or your mother-in-law, paper shredders for unwanted mail, bills, repossession notices and pink slips, and ear-plugs for when the neighbor’s kid tries to make like Hendrix, you can’t un-see or un-read something. Message boards and comment threads are filled with opinion, most of it brash, abrasive, and more ...

Did your parents ever tell you that everybody is equal?   "Yup, everyone is equal, son (or daughter). That is, until that other kid comes along that's better than you. Then he'll be protected and babied like no other, and you've got to fend for yourself." There's another good one too: People say appearance is everything and talk is cheap.   Well when Alexander Ovechkin says ...

There's a line that's overused a lot in situations that it doesn't really apply to: No one is safe. A place where that may actually be true however, is at the NHL Trade Deadline. There are very few names that will never get mentioned at the Deadline. In fact, we've even seen names unlikely to move at the deadline surprisingly switch teams. Even players with "No Movement" or "No Trade" clauses ...
