Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

Crystal Balls are busy..

as the quest for a spot in the Play Offs for Stanley, Calder, Kelly, Miron, Chynoweth, Clark Cups and other awards in the world of Ice Hockey is heating up. Just a few tit bits FYI!

WHL season has ended, their Play Offs start March 25, 2011.
CHL season will end March 27, 2011
ECHL season will end April 2, 2011
NHL Season will end April 10, 2011, Play Offs on April 13, 2011
AHL Season ends April 10/11.
11 games are scheduled on that last day of the regular season.
As of now WB/Scranton Penguins is first team clinching a spot.
If the Play Offs were to begin today:
Aeros would be facing the Texas Stars.
Admirals the Oklahoma City Barons.

Only one team in 74 years has been able to win the Calder Cup in three consecutive seasons.  The Springfield Indians, under the leadership of Hockey & AHL Hall of Famers Shore and Butterfield, did it in 1960, 1961 and 1962. Can Hershey Bears do it in 2011?

F.Y.I:
Here is a compilation (odds) of possible Stanley Cup 2011 Winners.
Just perhaps, some educated guesses by expert hockey followers!
