    In my humble opinion, Bloc Party deserves the win. Come on, the Kaiser Chiefs??? I suppose that the Chiefs are a bit more polished in the live setting, but Silent Alarm is a much better album than Employment which becomes a little annoying after more than one listen. And I love B Party’s live set from SXSW in Austin, TX.

    Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey’s Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
