Amazing how long some of these guys have been around.

They can breathe now for a day or two ....

Status: offline 		Bad night /day for ex-Gophs
Leo gets knocked out of the Pens win last night, Vanek gets hooked out of the Sabres loss today.
Tightest opening rounds ever, that I can remember.
Every one is up for grabs.

Wow, what a game ...
Caps fall down 4-1, could have easily rolled over and went down 2-0, but fought back and won it OT on Backstroms OT goal.
Ovie with a goal and a playmaker (3 assists) tonight. Series getting nasty, that will be a dogfight right down to the wire.
Like you said the ohter day, Jeff... HTH does Ovie go an entire game without a shot?
One of the weirdest stats of all time, imo. So involved, so active, just a weird outcome.

Couple good ones tonight.
Looks like Pitt will take back home-ice.

Man, this Avs club has gotten very good, very quickly.
Scoreless heading to OT

Chicago took back some swagger.
Some huge Game 4s coming up, some teams cannot afford to lose them.
Fun stuff.

Great point, Jeff.
These series are being played (as I like to tell our players) ....
Like their hair is on fire.
The Wild definitely need an upgrade there. I think the younger guys we saw late in the year are capable of doing that.
Lets hope we keep heading that direction.

Great start to Boston/Buffalo, thats an evenly matched dogfight.

Status: offline 		Amazes me how the Caps got so good so fast.
I was into them the last couple years, and kinda took a year off ... suddenly, they are the '80s Oilers.
I mean EVERYONE in the know says they will easily win the Cup if they stay motivated.
I don't agree, their weaknesses are exactly the things that cost you playoff series.
Weak tending, way-too-offensive defensemen, and no shut-down defenders.
I want them to win it all, just not sure why they are suddenly "by far the most talented".
I give that title to the Sharks, and then, the Hawks, and then Detroit, and then the Caps.
But thats just me.

Kings hang on to defeat 'Nucks.
Awesome.
I could really start liking that King squad, with all that young talent. Johnson and Doughty rock.
Unis suck, tho.

Status: offline 		I'm honestly very neutral on Sens/Penguins, but watching that one early turned my stomach.
Pitt gets the Yankee/RedSox treatment from refs.
Frustrating as hell to watch. Someone wants Pitt to win, imo.
Not saying thats the only reason they do well, just sayin what I see from the outside.

Pens and Red Wings re-establish dominance tonight.

Sweet win.
This Avs/Sharks thing just KILLS me.

Nope.

Thought the Sabres would climb back in. Had it.
They rank with the Vikings as one of the most cursed franchises in history. Just can never buy a break.
Washington takes control
Kings falter, that sucks.

Pretenders. Philly crushed them.
GREAT game in Pitt last night, loved how Ottawa hunbg in there.
Extremely young, if somehow they don't screw that team up, look out.
They've got a shot to win that series after that marathon last night.
Pitt looked slow and tired.
Preds can't stop the bleeding long enough to get ahead, got work to do.
Chicago has really taken momentum back there.
The Shark Machine came to life last night.

Love it when teams that could fold do not.
Down 3-1 in a series reveals a teams character. They either quit or fight harder than ever.

And the Red Wings will just never go away quietly.

Man after my own thoughts. right on.
I've never gotten over that hatred.
Would love to see the Sabres get it done.
