A part of me likes two different drafts, but I also think it would be interesting to see how the two different formats fare with the exact same rosters. I'm a little torn on this I guess.

I got that e-mail too.  Here's why it won't work:

Interesting read.

TSN can lick my balls! Their Power Rankings this week aren't quite as insane as last week (Preds ranked 20th last week is proof Canada hates us). I'm shocked they actually listed us ahead of Edmonton this time.

I also love how the Wings just "mailed in" that loss last night because they sat Legace, Lidstrom, and Zetterburg. Why not go ahead and blame it on Datsyuk being out too. Oh wait, we were without Vokoun, Sullivan, Zidlicky, Perreault, and Witt. It's not even worth mentioning Hordichuk and Fiddler sat too. Was it a pointless game in the standings? Definitely. Do I believe for a second the Wings wanted to lose to us with the scrub lines we were running and a career minor leaguer goalie? Not a chance.

I'm absolutely thrilled with how the Preds have rallied around Mason since Vokoun went down, and love the momentum we're carrying into the playoffs. I'll be the first to admit I was seriously bummed when Vokoun went down, but Mason has earned some serious respect over the last six games. The underdog role we have with the rest of the league might really work to our advantage if the Sharks look to walk over us onto the next round. I'd feel more confident if Sullivan and Zidlicky were healthy, but our offense is really clicking right now, and Weber has looked like a freaking stud on the PP unit.

I've got tickets to the first two playoff games, should be an exciting first round! I've never been in a building as loud as the GEC was during the Wings round last season, hopefully we can bring that level of fan interest this time too.

Might I also add that it's total crap that Yahoo still has Vokoun on the Can't Cut List. I can't afford to drop anyone else, and I really need to bag another goalie before there is no one else.

Shame on you for stealing Mason from me Brent 

Vokoun done for the year.

Crap, this beyond sucks. Not having Tomas back for the playoffs is going to be a HUGE obstacle to overcome. I was dreading facing the Ducks in the first round as it was.

Might want to go back and do a little more editing Rob.
