Sunday night - Washington 9, Edmonton 2. I've been following Washington lately and they are turning in awesome performances. Besides their stellar defensive play, they have turned on the offensive juices just in the last two weeks. I think a transformation in the NHL is taking place. The Isles are on the way out while Buffalo, Boston, Washington are coming up. LaFontaine will help the Isles in a few weeks (possibly) but the other NY team is garnering a half dozen Olympians. Gretzky is getting the left wing he's wanted - Finnish Olympic team, presently. Minnesota is getting a couple, too. Let me put forth a prediction to liven up this news group. Semis Finals Champs Washington vs Buffalo Washington vs Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton vs Minnesota How about another. Medal Round: USA, USSR, Czech, Sweden Gold - Sweden Silver - Czech Bronze - USA Just kidding. Go USA!
