Loved the Nashville vs. Dallas 1st period. People were crushing each other.

Oh yeah... Smashville has the 2-1 series lead :-)

Was so AWESOME! Extra cool with the Makar story. Kid wins the Hobey Baker Friday, plays in the NCAA title game Saturday, signs with the AVS and flys to Denver Sunday, scores a goal in his 1st NHL game, which happens to be a Stanley Cup Playoff game on Monday. That’s a Hell of a 4 day swing. Watched game two in Vegas and that was amazing as well.

Can’t believe Tampa Bay just got swept.

Greatest 4 day weekend ever for Makar. His first NHL shot, even. :-)

Tampa might have been the worst collapse I've ever seen in hockey. Tie the all time NHL wins record, then get completely dominated for 11 of 12 periods by the 8th seed. Wow.

Not disappointed to see the Penguins swept. :-) Scott.

And all of a Winnipeg is on the upslope of emotion again. Friggin’ roller coaster!

Duchenne looking like the best pickup of the rentals and Torts was grinning like a Cheshire cat
Well done CBJ!

Although Winnipeg native, Stone, is tearing it up for Vegas..

Tampa played like they knew they were the best team playing the eight seed and just expected to coast to victory.

:-)

I stand by it for how they looked heading into the playoffs. If it makes any difference to you, 14 of the 16 NHL experts on NHL.com picked them too.

What I do still predict is that Nashville won't be there. :-)

:-):-):-):-):-)

Don't be bummed, Dan...they're just not that good. :-)

Another comeback, OT win for the Avs. They are looking fast, and they'll have to be if they end up playing Vegas next round.

Poor Nashville. Dan you see the predators have a little light then the stars line just blows them up

No cup run this year for predators either

Thought I already posted on that win, guess not. Pucks bouncing for the AVS right now and I’ll take it. Nuts game, probably one they “should” have lost. Down 2 late(7M) in the third and send into OT, get win. Kinda like game 2, getting the late goal to get to OT. Their doing what they need to do vs a #1, keeping in and grinding. Been fun so far.

Vegas struggles tonight.

Yeah, Sharks brought it tonight but I don't think they can beat Vegas 2 more times. I'm rooting for that Avs - Knights matchup, I think it would be great hockey, an fun too.

Elimination game Monday in Dallas. :-)

If the Bruins keep underachieving I'll be looking for a new team to root for this year. I'm leaning towards Winnepeg or the Islanders.

Well, my choices were narrowed down to the Islanders.

Islanders are definitely fun to watch, I wouldn't mind seeing them make the Final. Washington will be tough too. I'd love to see and Islanders - Blue Jackets East Final.

In the West, I just can't root for he Blues. Vegas, Colorado or Dallas would be fine by me. Colorado - Vegas should be a great semifinal....sorry Sharts, no chance you win three in a row against Vegas with your goaltending and defense. Pavelski would need to score 5.

The Bruins put together a good game today. They still spent too much time on their heels in their end, though. Should be a good game seven.

Bruins were sloppy with the puck on and off. They gotta stop that big time.
As an aside, NBC's coverage sucked. Intermissions were all ads and some dude's head was blocking the view in the third.:-)

Best part of the game was my wife yelling at the TV. I've created a monster.:-)
