[LOS ANGELES, CA] -- Now that the first-round of the
2008 Stanley Cup playoffs are over, we're cleaning out
our inbox and we'd like to share some of the more
pertinent ones... |

Dear Dennis,
I DID call Dan Cloutier for advice on how to stop Nicky
Lidstrom from center ice, but he never called back.
Signed,
Dan Ellis

Monsieur Bernstein,
Fortunately for me, Messrs. Roy and Dryden DID take my call on
how to tend goal for the Habs in the post season as a rookie.
I really don't have a clue.
Respectfully,
Carey Price
La Belle Provence
Hey Blondie,
Let me at that Carey Price! He stole my spot in the second
round.
Best,

Mr.
Bernstein,
Yeah, I know you hate me but I sure fixed Marty's
wagon, didn't I?
No regards or better yet, bad regards,
S. Puppy Avery

Den,
You only shake hands at the end of a series as a sign
of sportsmanship with those that respect the game.
Your pal,
Marty B in NJ |
Dear Unenlightened Media Person,
Maybe next year I will spend some money on defensive talent.
Or any talent other than goaltending.
Best regards,

Dennis!
Yeah, I waited until Game 6 to stake my claim but only because
it took me six games to figure out somewhere I've never been.
But I should have taken the shot with 3 minutes left instead
of passing to that washed up Federov.

D Money,
The NHL wasn't joking about this year's Stanley Cup slogan.
The Cup DOES change everything.
Best,

Dennis,
Sorry you couldn't make it down to the Pond this season. But
you're probably better off not having to witness that Todd
Bertuzzi ain't Dustin Penner and Doug Weight ain't Andy
McDonald. Tough having two of your best guys only half a
season, too.
Maybe next year,
Brian Burke
Anaheim
Hollywood Den,
After Tuesday night, maybe, just maybe this might be my year.
Have calls into Dave Andreychuk and Ray Bourque to confirm. I
can't blame my skates any more and I will miss those extra
appearances on the Best Damn Sports Show due to hockey
obligations.

DB,
I think I'll wait for the second round to get injured.

Good day Dennis,
Aren't all those Buds fans hating us even more now?
Sincerely,
Bleu, Blanc et Rouge rooters
Den,
Sure, I stole a lot of money in the regular season but I was
just waiting for the playoffs. Six goals in one round IS
money.
Salutations,
Daniel Briere
South Philly
Dennis,
Almost forgot what it was like to play well in the playoffs.
Don't worry; I'll probably make up for it in the second round.
Best,
Marty Turco
Dallas
Dennis B,
One of these days I'm gonna get some respect in this league. I
scored 30 goals, made Jarome an MVP candidate again and scored
3 goals in the first round. Can't blame me.
Best,
Daymond Langkow
The Prairies
Hey Bernstein!
Maybe the game HAS passed me by. We couldn't beat the Sharks
and they always choke.
Stonefaced,
Iron Mike Keenan
Cold in Calgary
DB!
Remember us? My ankle had a nice long rest and we're itching
to go.
See you soon,
The Kid

Dennis,
I tried, but I still am only Tim Thomas.

Bonjour Dennis,
Maybe next year I will incorporate offense in our practices.
Best,

Dennis B,
I called Miguel Tejada about some advice when they find my
birth certificate and realize I'm 57.
Crazily,
The Dominator
Motown, but not Hockeytown anymore
AND FINALLY...
Den,
Um, never mind.
Signed,
