I haven't watched as much hockey this season as I'd hoped. I got to play twice a week which felt really good.

I'm keeping tabs on two things as the playoff draws near - my Canadiens going "wrong for Wright", and keeping third place in my keeper pool.

The Avalanche are just too fast and too good, I don't think the Lightning have a chance.

As much as it pains me to write this, les Nordiques are scary good. I think Tampa has a few more tricks up its sleeve.

It was so strange seeing the 7-0 beatdown. Vasilevsky looked human.

No sooner do I say that the Lightning show their championship caliber 6-2, champions die hard

Holy crap! I'm just seeing this now. Tampa woke up. I would say that no lead is safe. I remember Edmonton and Calgary. Three goal leads disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Avalanche just put a hammerlock on this series winning 3-2 in overtime to lead the series 3 games to 1, it could all be over on Friday.

I heard!

I see it was Kadri getting into more controversy, though it wasn't his fault this time. I haven't seen the replay, but I heard the Avs had six skaters on the ice.

I wish we could go a full season without hearing about him and controversy.

I'm not a fan of either team, but as a former goalie, him bowling over Binnington was just nasty. It reminded me of Krieder taking out Carey Price years ago.

I don't wish anyone ill, but one would have to think that karma was at play when Kane took him out in round 3.

Tampa has hardly any players left. It's over.

Once again, champions die hard! Tampa wins game five 3-2, game 6 Sunday in Tampa.

It's incredible. They're not going down without a fight.

Visiting a friend this morning, he handed me a Stamkos jersey that his son outgrew.

I'm not sure I want my kid wearing it. I like Stamkos, but this household cheers for one NHL team, and it's not Tampa. What to do????
