Pens came back in a big way. Sucks I have to work or I'd be celebrating in a big, drunken way :P

That piece of garbage Marian Hossa's goal shouldn't have happened. He should have been ejected after that nasty hit from behind he put on the Preds' guy. I hope Chicago makes the Cup Final then loses, so Hossa would be on the last 3 Cup losers' (Pittsburgh, Detroit, then Chicago if applicable)!!!

Let's go Habs for the rest of their series!

I;ve always hoped to see that happen to Hossa, and that hit just re-affirms my position on that stance. I want the Hawks to do well b/c of 3 Manitoban's on the team (Captain Toews from Winnipeg :) ) But not if Hossa is involved.

Sad to see my Avalanche get the boot from the wasteful Sharks, another team I could give 2 shits about.

That was a heartbreaking loss by the Sens! I thought they way they were playing the first two periods they were going to crush the Pens... the 2010 playoffs are done for me... I hope Phoenix or another underdog wins it (except Montreal :P )

We picked up tickets for game 7 Caps / Habs as soon as they were available, figured we'd be issued a refund when the game wasn't necessary. Who'd have thought it?

Caps PP is 1 for 30, at a lofty 3.3%. The only other teams who suck on the man advantage in the playoffs are Nashville (1 for 27, 3.7%) and Buffalo (0 for 19, 0.0%). No big surprise, both of those teams are breaking out the golf gear. The next lowest teams as far as PP effectiveness are New Jersey (4 for 32, 12.5%, eliminated) and Colorado (2 for 15, 13.3%, eliminated). Can't score with the man advantage, going to have a hard time advancing.

Of course, that didn't help the Sens (7 for 22, 31.8%), but they're perennial early round eliminations. And the only way the Kings could score was on the man advantage. Interesting to see 2 teams buck the trend and get themselves ousted in the first round when both clicked at over 30% on the PP.

It is going to be interesting to see how the Caps come out on home ice for a game nobody thought would take place. They'll either come out absolutely on fire or completely flat. I think the first 10 minutes of the first period will tell who will win the series.

LOL, Im going for the Habs as well, the series has been great so far, mainly due to the fact I like watching the CAPS flunk, and Bruce Boudreau's terrible news conferences, that guy sounds like a tool when asked pressurized questions.

GO HABS & YOTES!

Quite the shocker to see the Capitals loose. Never thought they would. Even more surprising is that all three division champions in the East are done already — Washington, New Jersey and Buffalo. Two years in a row that the President's Trophy winner has been eliminated in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Going to tonight's game vs the hated Redwings.

Go Sharks!


Just read this on Fox Sports
Washington is also a club that preceded each home game against Montreal with a video display that included an image of the Stanley Cup and the words, "NOTHING ELSE MATTERS," while the Metallica song of that name blared.

That's awesome, Mike. I have the Sharks winning in 6.

Hope your tix are cheaper than mine. I'm on eBay looking at tix for the Pittsburgh/Montreal series and will be paying $100+ per ticket.
