It's close, but I'm going to have to go with Kiprusoff over Khabibulin. Kipper is fresher at this point, both from regular season and time off.
Eastern: Tampa/Philadelphia: Tampa-- Khabibulin
Wester: SJ/Calgary: SJ--Nabokov
Previous round 2/4--I picked SJ and Calgary, but picked Toronto and Montreal. Belfour blew up before Philly had a chance to, and Tampa continues to amaze. Khabilbulin can now prove he's not a "goalie who will get you into the playoffs".

I've been in a bunch of different waiting rooms--from radiology (kids with owies), to ob/gyn (happy, tired pregnant women and their slightly dazed husbands), to immunology (lots of people who had turned a shade of parchment), but the group that was waiting in rheumatology was the most patently miserable and beaten down looking bunch I've seen.
I'll take my gumby joints, thanks.
So, I now have an official diagnosis of hypermobility syndrome. I hit all the points, and then some. The rheumatologist kept saying--"okay, try this", and then looking on as I "did that".
Apparently, most 46 year old women *can't* reach up behind their back and touch their neck.
So, off to Cardiology to get a base echo, surprisingly enough, off to the opthamologist to make sure that my eyes aren't having problems with the lenses shifting. That was one area that I didn't see much in the way of literature on.
The good news is that my aortic sounds are "nice and crisp", which indicate that the valves are in good shape. And if I get an echo every 2 years or so, the chances of a blow-out happening are pretty remote.
And I win a trip to genetics counselling. Not that at this ripe old age am I going to start a family, but to give out as much data as I can. I did a rotation in genetics counselling about 25 years back, so I know how important getting data can be.
