No love lost between the Wings and the Lightning - that first game was quite the brawl. Got pretty nasty in the last couple of minutes in the 2nd game too.  I feel like I'm watching 1990's hockey with these two teams.

Most entertaining match-up thus far.

This might be relevant after the way the first two games went.

No jam, confidence, or hunger. 4th line grinders are the best line out there at the moment. Need to activate the forecheck, cycle the puck below the net, play physical, and enter the zone with speed - all of which isn't happening right now. Giroux, who I feel is overrated and plays soft, has been invisible. Not much else to say except the Caps are something like 3-6 after winning the first two games...

The Flyers need to start channeling the BS Bullies of the mid 70s

 

I've never set foot in Philly, but as kid learning to play hockey, I was a big-time Bobby Clarke fan.  This team was awesome!

The time is upon us to count the worthy and cheer on your team.  Unless you're a Bruins fan because they're SOL!  Who's taking it all the way to hoisting Lord Stanley's cup this year?

Pens over Rangers

Caps over Flyers (sorry Josh)

Red Wings over Lightning (tough series)

Panthers shut down the Islanders

Kings over Sharks

Ducks sink the Predators

Stars shatter the Wild

Hawks knock out the Blues in a very hard fought series 

I hate to say it but I think this is probably the Pens year.  Blackhawks will go through to the next round and maybe survive to the Conference final.

Current State of the Playoffs:

Pens 1 v Rangers 1

Caps 3 v Flyers 0

Lightning 2 v Wings 1

Panthers 1 v Islanders 2

Sharks 2 v Kings 1

Ducks 0 v Predators 2

Stars 2 v Wild 1

Blackhawks 1 v Blues 2 

Feeling pretty good about my predictions except those damn Predators.  Do not want to have to face them in the Conference Finals but then again, I'm not sure the Blackhawks are going to get that far.  Salary cap is doing its job of holding them down and Patrick Sharp is tearing things up for the Stars when we could really use him in Chicago.

Blackhawks are DONE.  What a joke last night.  This team just lacks the mojo that they had last year.  I was right at the beginning when I said they were definitely not going all the way.

What's your take on Shaw's antics? Was it worthy of a suspension?

Jackass pulled a stupid stunt at the most critical point of the game. Coach should have benched him even if he didn't let loose with his mouth.

We're desperately missing guys like Sharp and Oduya.
