NHL Playoffs

Looks like I'm done for yet another season unless we make the trek to Philly for a game or 2. Last night was unreal, so much nervousness in the arena. And well founded at that. As soon as the Habs scored, people around me thought it was over.

The second goal sent a few people home, but the crowd lit up when the Caps finally put one in. It is always funny when people take a loss of a team they have no affiliation with other than fanhood and owning merchandise take a loss so personally. You'd have thought people's houses burned down (or worse) based on how they reacted on the metro ride home. Was I disappointed? Sure, but still had to get up this morning, get the kids ready for their day and head to work.

I think the only thing that shocked me from Montreal winning is that they were down 3-1 in the series, but other than that not really... Halak has proved that he can still games, Washington doesn't have a goal tender that has proved that yet, montreal was playing as a team while Ovechkin tried to do everything by himself, powerplay was dreadful and when your other top players don't show up you know you will be in trouble...

I don't think Montreal will get past Pittsburgh as they are a much better team than the Caps and I think Crosby can still elevate his game even more, but hey we don't know anymore...

I have the Sharks winning in 7. I hate the Wings, but I wouldn't mind seeing them win. As a Pens fan, I do not wanna face San Jose in the event Pittsburgh makes it to the Final.

Huge win tonight for the Sharks. Great to see them finally win the opening game in the playoffs, something they haven't done since 2004. We really took Detroit off their game early by going up 3 goals and gave our team a lot of confidence. Detroit kept coming back and made the game closer than I would have liked, but we found a way to hold on and win.

Without Marleau, too

Round 2 Suprises:

Wings being down 2-0 to the Sharks. I had that series going to 7. We'll see.

Bruins being up 2-0. I actually picked the Flyers in this series. Games have been close, but Boston is getting the most out of their opportunities.

My boys need to solve Halak. They got traffic to the front of the net in Game 1 and scored a ton. In Game 2 they started playing like Washington. Just throwing pucks to the net w/ no traffic in front, therefore getting very few 2nd and 3rd chances.
