Strange but true.

And now more Canadian teams than California teams still in the playoffs.

Brutal 5 minute powerplay for the Kings and Joe Thornton makes them pay in OT. Sharks move on to the 2nd Round. Can't believe I just typed that. Big Joe with the clutch goal in the playoffs!?

Hard to believe he scored the winner, B's fans remember him starting his summer vacation early when he wore their jersey, for a couple of years looked like he'd end up being one of the best but his career has really gone south.

What started out in the series as having a disadvantage playing on home ice has changed the last 2 games, hopefully the trend will continue for game 7 as the B's traveled to Montreal and came out on the wrong end of a 2-1 decision. Two PP goals for Le Habs, one for too many men on the ice and the other for delay of game.

Funny thing is, Blackhawks and Bruins have more Canadians on their roster than do the Nucks and Habs


Missed the 7pm games. Watching the highlights and I think Habs/Bruins should settle Game 7 inside a steel cage . Plus, the Bruins are due to score on the powerplay

Canucks move on!

What. A. Series.

Now to see if they have anything left for the Preds.

Yup. Both goalies were great!!

Im so happy that the Canucks won!!

Also am happy that the habs won as well!,Im hoping that the Habs win 2nite

GO HABS GO!!

B's and Le Habs play game 7 tonight, no day off between games? They had 2 days off between games 5 and 6, now zero days off and they have to travel, NHL needs to do something more consistent in their scheduling because Pens-Lightning also play their 7th game tonight, both will be going on at the same time.

After 2 periods B's game is deadlocked at 2, B's jumped out to a 2-0 lead but the Le Habs have answered with 2 of their own...and the tying goal was short handed. Gotta bad feeling about this.

Right guys, like I was worried....

Pens put up a good fight but when you play a series without Crosby and Malkin against a team like Tampa that's a tall order, I give them credit for not using the injuries as an excuse like some other teams do.
Bruins are now lifetime in the playoffs against Montreal...9-24, luckily it's the last one which matters.

Yup. When they were up 3-1 it looked pretty good , but the injuries finally caught up to them.

Two good series in the East, Caps vs. Lightning, really think this is the year Alex & Co. finally make it to the finals. B's have a rematch with the Flyers, need revenge for last year's debacle.

Blame Lady GaGa, game 6 was suppose to happen on Monday, but she had a concert up in MTL.

^^ What's up with the hockey fans up there, she's more important than Le Habs?
Canucks start out on the right foot edging the Preds 1-0, not much action for Luongo as he only faced 20 shots.
_________________

Ouch, Red Wings kill off a four minute penalty in OT... only for the Sharks to score 15 seconds later.

^^ Well, besides the Caps think the Sharks are also due to finally break thru and reach the finals, good start for them. Not as good of a start for the Caps though who lose game one to the Lightning 4-2, another solid game for Roloson.
