Looks like the Habs have got this one sewn up.

I know I won't. CBJ emptied the tank in that game. I hope they have little left for tomorrow and the Pens sweep. Crosby is clearly running on fumes at this point and needs a long rest befor facing another opponent. (Also, game five would be on Thursday and I have a class I'd have to miss for that 😉) Go Leafs Go! Take it to 7 games (all overtime)

Lots of hockey left, but they do look strong. And can I just say how nice it is to watch a sport where all the playoff series are best of 7?

Had the pleasure to watch young Jake Guentzel for a couple of years while he was playing NCAA D1 for our home town University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks. The kid is a really smart hockey player. Dad Mike is a coach, I believe an assistant with the U of M Gophers. Hope he stays healthy and has a long and successful NHL career.

He certainly has a sense of where to be and where to go on the ice.

I hope he wins a Cup with Pittsburgh.

I’ve been watching Caps vs Leafs and the Leafs are getting better game by game. They run 4 fast scoring lines. Anyone who runs against them needs the same (Pens’ Kessel to line 3 and Hags come back please!).

I need to make a sacrifice to the hockey gods for a 7 game Caps-Leafs series. (maybe a chocolate bunny?)

Expect the Pens to sweep the Jackets today. Sheary-Crosby-Guentzel for life! (I love playoff hockey...)

In the history of the NHL or NBA, has there ever been a case where the 8th seed swept the number 1 seed?
