2007-2008 NHL Playoff Race
Posted by Mike Scriber on Tuesday, March 04, 2008
With a month to go in the rest of the 2007-2008 NHL Season, the playoffs are upon us. This creates some great hockey along with some uncertainty with teams on the edge of the playoffs. As well the teams that are currently the one through eight seeds fighting for position.
Watching this develop over the past month or so I've been annoyed with how the division winners automatically get the top three spots. For example take Carolina who has 73 points are the third seed. If they weren't winning the division they'd be fighting for the 8th playoff spot with the Bruins, Rangers, Flyers, Sabres, Islanders and Capitals. Some of you might argue that the Hurricanes are still fighting for the third seed and the 8th seed with the Capitals five points back. Which is the case but is it real

So I took the plunge this morning after seeing on digg.com that Internet Explorer 8 Beta was available for download. It took about 15 minutes to complete the process, but I was also reading blogs, my analytics and checking out the NHL Playoff Race.

Firefox 3 Beta is out and it's SWEET! I installed it on my mac early yesterday and I'm loving it. It's blazing fast. Switching between tabs and page loads are remarkably faster than Firefox 2. It feels like I'm flying. It's even got a new design which feels squeaky clean, could it be because my google and web developer toolbar extensions are missing? That's the only downfall I've found so far, none of my extensions from Firefox 2 work in Firefox 3.
