I don't think I need to quote and repeat the same **** I've said over and over, but I'll say this: There are no sure bets. A goalie can change the dynamic of a series.

.957 SV%, 'nuff said.

Now, I'm going to crawl in a hole for 8 months (Hornets lose by 58, Sharks lose the series to an 8, A's are putrid on offense, and the Jets, well, 'nuff said).

In better news, Anaheim and Chicago won tonight...which means we have a Vancouver -Chicago round 2 playoff series.Nucks in 6.

hockey shouldn't be in St. Louis in the first place. and you've got a tough series ahead of you bro, Blackhawks are legit. Havlat, Versteeg and Sharp are all on top of their game now and there's always the looming threat of Toews (who's got a +3 this postseason).

best circumstance possible for the Pens right now is a Caps and Devils loss to give us home ice advantage against the Canes in the second round, but we realistically have the possibility to play everyone except for the Rangers.

Bruins in 5! I would have said 4 before their last game. Bruins totally got the cup this year.

Nucks over Hawks 3-1 tonight.
And in funny news, Naslund retired.

everybody knew it was gonna happen eventually. i thought he still had some fight to him, but NYR has filled out his position with Antropov so they should be okay.

by any chance did you see Ovie's dive last night, Scott? really makes me question Barry Melrose's better judgment supporting him so thoroughly.

No, I didnt get a chance to catch that game. If you could find a video that would be cool, Id like to see. And also, yeaa..we figured he would. But I hope we dont retire his jersey at GM place. He was a great player, had the C for 9 years...but wasnt the same type of player as Smyl and Linden. I think they will..but I hope they dont.

around 4:24 he gets clipped by Matt Cooke's (24) skate and falls to the ice, clutching his...face.

I love Cookie..one of the players I was saddest to see leave Van city. And yeaa...brutal dive. Terrible. This year ive become a lot less of an ovie fan..hes just a goof. I cant stand it.

ha, Pittsburgh is all tied up in the series, we've proven Varlamov is human after all. and we're not the only ones, Detroit and Vancouver are in tight races as well. only the Canes/Bruins matchup is 3-1, and it's actually in favor of Carolina and not Boston.

talk about some unexpected circumstances, some great hockey going on right now.

This is great, Cant wait for the OVie- Sid matchup again tonight, Id like to see pitt take it. I couldnt be any happier about the canes tearing it up, the last thing I want to see is Boston lifting another trophy, that scene has gotten ridiculously old the past decade. I'd like Van to take it for laces sake, and I hope the wings go down because everyone is sick of them.
