Nicklas Lidstrom Considering Retirement

One of the best defensemen to have ever played in the NHL may have played his final game. After being eliminated by the San Jose Shark, Lidstrom, at 40 years old, is thinking it may be time to hang up the skates. While he is still one of the premier players in the league, he is visibly past his prime playing years. It will be very tough for Detroit to replace a guy like that, if he does end up retiring.

Salo May Be Lost For Game 6

Sami Salo, one of Vancouver's most important defensemen, may be out for game six after suffering an injury from blocking a shot. The puck appeared to hit him in the mid section as he fell to the ice and lay in pain for a long time. He was later taken to hospital for further observation. It will be a major blow to Vancouver's comeback efforts if he is not able to return and will certain affect NHL betting odds.

Super Monday

Suffering from the Monday blues? Shake it off and look forward to a big NHL night. The Flyers and Canadiens are facing elimination in two games that will be hard-fought affairs. A win by Pittsburgh and Boston would propel both teams to face each other in the conference finals. Both Boston and Pittsburgh are online betting favorites to closeout the series tonight.

Remember Cooke's hit that sidelined Savard with a severe concussion? There is certainly no love lost between these two teams. Will this incident affect how the teams approach the series? Does Boston have a freebie cheap shot to collect or will cooler heads prevail? Pending what seem to be the inevitable outcomes of the conference semifinals, these two teams look set on a collision course in the conference finals.
