Nhl Playoff Tickets - 2010 Nhl Season May Be Last For Some Stars

The regular season for the National Hockey League is wrapping up, meaning that just about all the spots for the playoff games are decided. The Eastern Conference is led by the Washington Capitals, followed by the New Jersey Devils, Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators. The Western Conference has the Chicago Blackhawks on top, with the San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks, Phoenix Coyotes, Detroit Red Wings, Nashville Predators, Los Angeles Kings and Colorado Avalanche behind them. The postseason is heating up, and fans can find <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/nhl-playoff-tickets/">NHL playoff tickets</a> at <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/">StubHub.com</a>.

For the teams who don't make the playoffs, the most veteran players start toying with the decision to come back or retire. On Wed., April 4, it was the St. Louis Blues left wing Keith Tkachuk who announced the 2009-10 season would be his last. He has more than put in his time in the league, finishing with 19 seasons under his belt. In 66 games this season, he scored 13 goals and 17 assists. He has also played with the Winnipeg Jets, Phoenix Coyotes and the Atlanta Thrashers. At the announcement, Tkachuk talked to the press, where he cited his health as a reason to step away. Along with his time in the NHL, Tkachuk has also played in multiple Olympics and has won a silver medal for his efforts.

Dallas Stars center Mike Modano isn't quite as decided as Tkachuk, but he could potentially also be retiring following the 2009-10 season. He told reporters he was contemplating retiring, and a decision will likely come from him after the season ends. Leaving the Stars would be harder on Modano than most, as he has spent his entire career with the franchise, dating back to when they were the Minnesota North Stars. He joined the North Stars when he was the first overall selection of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft. In 57 games this season, he had 13 goals and 15 assists. Like Tkachuk, he has also made appearances in multiple Olympic Winter Games.

The Anaheim Ducks could have a big hole next season if right wing Teemu Selanne decides to retire. The 39-year-old star is still going strong, making him a little less likely to retire than other veterans. He has won a Stanley Cup Championship with the Ducks, meaning he doesn't have many milestones left to accomplish. This season, he scored 26 goals and 21 assists in 53 games. He has also played for the Winnipeg Jets, San Jose Sharks and Colorado Avalanche.

Players aren't the only ones retiring after this season. The Pittsburgh Penguins' longtime home, Mellon Arena, will also retire following the 2009-10 season. Affectionately called "The Igloo" by fans, Mellon Arena has been a landmark of the NHL scene, but it also grew more dilapidated over the years. The Penguins will move into the Consol Energy Center next season. On the Penguins' website, star Sidney Crosby expressed his feelings on The Igloo and said, "When I got here I found out pretty quickly that this arena has an amazing feel. It's an atmosphere you have to be at to really describe. The crowd feels like it is really on top of you they are so involved in the game. It's a really fun building to play in."

Make up stuff that happens in the next book of The Hunger Games trilogy?

For people who have read the first two books of this series, make up stuff that happens in the third book of The Hunger Games.

There are two categories.

Category one: Things that probably won't happen.
example: Katniss kills President Snow in a light saber fight. District 13 wouldn't do anything against The Capital because they were trying to perfect the X-Wing fighter jet. District 13 makes a Death Star. The Capital destroys it so District 13 goes to plan B: Swine flu.

Category 2 is things that are actually believable.
example: Haymitch sacrifices his life for Katniss. Katniss and Haymitch are both poisoned. There is only enough antidote for one of them. Haymitch gives the antidote to Katniss. Katniss wants Haymitch to use the antidote on himself but Haymitch forces Katniss to take it. Katniss is saved by Haymitch and Haymitch dies.

So, what do you have. The one I like the best gets 10 points. Post as many as you like.

Oh! I like your category 2 one! Totally believable.

Category 1: Peeta dies and Katniss lives happily ever after with Gale in District 13 as the Capitol's grasp on the 12 Districts crumbles. The End.

Category 2: District 13 uses spies within the Capitol to locate Peeta and inform the distraught Katniss that he's alive, triggering her to (of course) drag Gale off to go rescue him without thinking it through, forcing District 13 to become more involved in the revolution in order to rescue Katniss from the Capitol that her and Gale are currently running strait to.

maybe a little far-fetched, but it works for me
