It’s a beautiful thing!
hmmmm.......I sure don’t know, but I do know that C-Bus, Minnesota, and and Calgary are all in deep kimchi. Caps might be in deep kimchi as well if they don’t take 1 game out of the Air Canada Centre..... and even then these Leafs youngster’s look pretty fearless, and again unimpressed with the President’s Trophy winner.
....and the B-Hawks? Yeah - if they get swept it’s gonna be ugly in Chi-raq.
I so want to see a Montreal-Toronto series.
Looks like Columbus came with more desperation.
Yep. Pens were flat. Last game I said I thought Sid is playing on fumes but other’s guessed he’s possibly injured. Hope it’s something minor. This means I miss my class on Thursday, gotta be there for game 5!
I wondered if Sid was hurt but isn’t everyone this time of year?
5-4 final. Back to Pittsburgh.
Sort of, not all injuries are equal :(
Are you smelling what is cooking in Smashville?
Same thing cooking in STL tonight. Would love to see the Mild knocked out in the first round. Some great players on their roster, just not a Bruce B fan. I like him slightly more than Torts.
Columbus and the Wild peaked during the season, Blue Jackets regained a lot more of their composure than the Wild.
All of the games have been close, St. Louis has been the better team and great defense. I don’t have a sense if the Blues sweep tonight.
The Caps seem to always have problems in the playoffs and this year is no different.
I took the Blues in my NHL Bracket.
I’ve seen BBQ Bruce fail time and time again come playoff time.
Caps had a 3 goal lead.
I predict another overtime! 8^)
Anyone calling Tortorelli a poor coach just must not like him. The Blue Jackets have been having fairly poor seasons these past several years, he comes in and boom, they are contenders.
Torts is a good coach.
And I don’t care for him.
Tortorelli’s son is a Ranger, US Army Ranger.

That’s nice that they run a charitable organization for animals and have helped rescue and foster dogs find homes.
I’m sure he’s a swell guy.
Adversarial wise he’s always been a thorn in the side of the Penguins.
Backstrom disappears every year around the 2nd week of April. Regular season phenom, but playoffs he’s the prototype soft Euro, with the same kind of game as the Sedin sisters.
I want them to surge and take it to 7, then lose. I want those other western teams worn out.
