NHL Playoffs

Ottawa and the NY Rangers go to overtime tied at two and then Kyle Turris takes a drop pass in the slot and top-shelves a wrister.

Maybe Mike Richter would of had that one. Confusingly enough, Lundqvist has a scanty 1-and-7 overtime playoff record.

But credit Turris, his shot had eyes for the top corner, whistling past Lundquist's glove hand. The series is tied 2-2.

-The Sens maybe the underdogs but they may have the Rangers number. Remember they outbeat the Rangers 3-1 in their regular season series.

I hope the Pittsburgh Penguins left some goals in their stick for game five as they fended off elimination with a 10-3 victory over the Flyers.

Jordan Stall had a hat-trick - I got him in the hockey pool.

-Flyers lead the series 3-1.

Vancouver were on the brink of elimination and surely I have many Canucks and Penguins guys on my hokey pool squad.

To the action and while shorthanded, Dustin Brown gets dragged down on a breakaway.

The play is whistled down for a penatly shot.

Cory Schnieder stones Brown and saves Vancouver's man advantage and only moments later, Henrik Sedin buries his first of the playoffs.

-Vancouver win 3-1.


Have these playoffs been the most vicious you can remember or is the media being guilty of hyping this stuff up?

  1. I think Don Cherry did an excellent job addressing this question Saturday on Coach's Corner; everyone’s loving the physicality of the playoffs. NBC’s ratings are up 50% from last year, 77% in the Pens-Flyers series and the only people who seem to think it's a problem are the people getting into the games for free--the media.

    1. There have already been more fights these playoffs already, than all of last year.
