Anaheim Calling and Jewels From The Crown -- playoffs!
As was pointed out last summer, the Sharks, Kings, and Ducks all enter this postseason with eleven franchise playoff series wins -- now it's an open BoC Race to Twelve (or if we're damn lucky, Fifteen). We'll know a lot more about seedings and opponents after tonight, I think, but for now...
Not my best, but it's Saturday.
Here again is the rundown of all three franchises' eleven playoff series wins.

Prediction: I should be around tonight -- stop on by for some end-of-season drama. The Rat forces Rudy to buy his roommate a handle of liquor.
Go Ducks.
