Fresh Links: Now Can We Clinch? Edition

If the Penguins win in regulation tonight, the Bruins clinch a playoff spot. Cool. I will cheer for the Penguins tonight and zero other nights.

Did anyone else listen to last year's playoff montage on 98.5 this morning? I tuned in just for that. Still gives me the chills nine months later. Man. I can't wait for playoffs to start again.

To everyone going to New York this weekend: HAVE ALL THE FUN!!!

After the jump, the Flyers demolished the Maple Leafs, the Islanders are trying to play spoiler, Flames fans are real mad, KHUDOBINMANIA, and PILE ON THE ISLE 2012!!!
