Playoffs are coming up.

My picks were 3/4 in first games but now is where the fun begins. Second and third games are where countermeasures and line changes start to show up.

Playoff hockey that goes into OT it doesn't get much better than that .

fixed it for you

Great game tho

[rfuerst911sc]

Carolina playing really well down their starting goalie . Still almost 11 minutes to go

[KFC911]

I just watched some hockey....the last period....first time in years....

Where's my bandwagon.....go 'canes !

[yellowperil]

The 'Canes, what a team! Could go all the way.

[rfuerst911sc]

Canes are playing excellent hockey at the moment . Starting goalie being out for any length of time could be an issue .

[Hockey fan]

Man, that Blues / Stars game tonight was something.

Go Blues!

[Por_sha911]

The 3rd period was a wild west shootout. Great game.

[rfuerst911sc]

So far the Blues have had no fear playing on the road , if that continues that bodes well for them . But that magic can disappear in a split second that's why playoff hockey can be this exciting .

[Por_sha911]

The Blue Jackets out Bruined the Bruins tonight.
Bob was playing lights out goal-tending.
The most feared #1 line in the league has been neutered.
Sigh

It was a good game to watch (unless you are a Bruins fan).

Hang in there, Joe. It's a long series, and Bob is often "streaky." Gotta hope the Bruins solve him, but if they do, it can turn quickly.

Having said that, the Jackets are playing dangerous right now. Bob is on fire (gotta have that in a goalie at playoffs), and they have attitude. They owned the Caps this season, particularly Panarin. It's not as much fun to watch them when things are going well, as I enjoy watching Torts' reactions and responses to the media when things are NOT going well .

Sharks looked good last night and it's do or die for the Islanders tonight . Columbus playing good steady hockey .

[Eric 951]

Just getting caught up in the playoffs action. Obviously my favorite(Pens) had an inglorious exit and my second choice (Vegas) also got bounced. Going forward looking at Canes Blues in the finals with the Blues winning it all. Jackets are playing some great hockey, Sharks as well. Avalanche and Isles look gassed.

Joe--is ratman regressing or what? (2) PP goals while he watched from the box, stomping on a stick, then the cheap head shot on Harrington while he was on his knees?

Helluva hockey talent with a room temperature I.Q.
I don't have a ton of time to really get into the eastern series
(viewing most of the high-lights) - the Blues/dallas series in the west
has been very entertaining, as are all other series with the top seeds
having been eliminated.

Cheers

Although neither option is desirable, I'd rather have him punch me in the head, than lick me. Yuck!

He gives morons a bad name.

(But, if I owned a hockey team, he be the first guy I'd hire)

[Por_sha911]

The Jackets are really looking strong. The Bruins NEED to get more from the first line and NEED to put Pasta down around 3rd or 4th line. Both goalies are playing Cup winning hockey. Great game.

OK, maybe the 2nd line.

[rfuerst911sc]

So 3 out of 4 series are tied at 2-2 with the 4th being a runaway . The pressure ratcheting up for those series tied at 2 ........... it's a best of 3 now so ANY mistakes can send you home . I don't think it will happen but how crazy would it be for the Islanders to win 4 straight ?

[1990C4S]

Karma is a *****.

Tavares leaves the Island for Toronto, Lamoriello gets run out of Toronto on rails for being old, and now the Leafs sit home watching the second round while the 'weaker' team sweeps.
