Man I knew exactly where you were going with this when I saw the headline. I really like how Canada and America have two separate standards as to what is considered a legal limit of lead. Wouldn’t you think someone in a lab coat somewhere would make that more universal?

And while I know it kinda ruins Pittsburgh’s chance at claiming the division, I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing Devils and Thrashers in the first round, whereby Atlanta pulls a miracle of sorts and upsets Kovalchuk and the Devils. It has the sort of Hossa to Red Wings feel to it without it happening in the Finals.
