Top 10 Signs it's the Playoffs


10. Teams are getting way too many power plays, especially those that the league has an economic interest in seeing win (I'm looking at you Columbus).

9. Montreal is giving Boston a hard time.

8. Joe Thornton has officially packed it in for the year.  No I'm not being overly harsh.  Yes it's been just one game so far this year, but his poor post-season play extends back into eternity.

7.   Chris Osgood is playing awesome.  He made a world-class save in the first minute of game one, and the team never looked back.

6. Players are hitting each other - hard.

5. Mark Recchi is playing, but not for the team he started the season with.

4. Jay Bouwmeester is not playing.

3. Martin Havlat is scoring all the time.  Don't get me wrong, this guy had a great regular season, but he always seems to elevate to a new level in the Spring.

2. The play-by-play announcers have seemingly nothing to talk about other than line match-ups and the importance of face-offs.

1. I'm in my house from 7pm to 1am every night watching hockey.
