Dang those 4/5 matchups are going to me vicious!


Thoughts? Feelings?

I have heard unconfimed reports* that WIT has jumped into the Kings band-wagon and abandoned his Canunks!




*By 'unconfirmed reports' I mean 'compleatly made up'.

Go Pens !

Sidney Crosby scores 1st goal of these playoffs !

And the first OT loss of the playoffs!

No worries that should go 7....doesn't matter the order of the wins.


2/3 road wins on opening night.........didn't expect that.

Toews is back tonight for the Hawks, but their road record leaves a lot to be desired. Be interesting to see how that plays out against Phoenix.

Is that confirmed? I thought he was still a game time decision.

Everything I've been seeing in the Chicago media is that he's a go for tonight. I'll check in with my rabid Hawks fan friends to see if they're making any changes to their post-season shrine to reflect his status.

TSN finally posted this.....great news for the Hawks!

Not sure if it's good for me.....I figured he'd be out for the first few so I picked the Hawks in 7.

4 games last night, 3 went into OT !

For the first time in 12 years, "It's a Hockey Night In South Florida" post-season edition !

And they are now the envy of Toronto for thier success.



Oh play-offs you are awesome!

Sweet Jeebus, Blackhawks, you guys are killing me. Five seconds left in regulation and then pulling it out in OT?

After 4 days of playoffs we've already had 7 games go to OT.

Good! That is the way it should go.

I am just happy that the Capitals made it again this year. If they make it to the next round I would be surprised.

And the road team has won 10 of 15 games so far!


Little chippy last night. Should be interesting to see Shanny comment on last night.

Schneider is going on for game #3 for the Canucks to change things up.


And the battle of Pennsylvania is now 3-0....for the Flyers!

Which is surprising. I thought for sure that the Pens would have the speed advantage overall. But the Phils look like they want it more.
