GameTavern has died...it's kinda sad.
back when I was a mod (

)...one could expect Battle of the Babes (co-credit to Bond), many original contributions to the gaming forum (co-credit to Darkmaster) among other things.
But it has become fairly dead...things like the NHL playoffs generated buzz
And I agree with Null completely...I dont get the hating involved, I love to see the top teams, and the teams that I like AND dislike (a good balance) the most in the playoffs, it creates the most interesting matchups and makes things interesting. Imagine another Ottawa/Toronto series? Maybe even Montreal/Toronto later on? I was hoping for Dallas/Edmonton too, I suppose it's possible but Detroit should take care of Edmonton.
