Halak. He did it to the Pens in the very next round that year when Pens were up 3-2 in the series as well.

FLEURY. The return.

Yeah, I'd love to see this turn into a series. Isles are actually playing quite well tonight overall.

4-3 all time in series against the Rangers...2-1 in the last 4 years. It's not totally out of left field.

I think the result of the play was a major part of it. It shouldn't be, but it has been in the past and I think it was in this case too...which is bullshit.

Yeah, this shit might be done in 4 unless getting back on home ice sparks something for the Isles. Fleury actually looks good too.

It's never wrong to fuck with Hartnell.

If they focus only on the hit, and not the result, I think it ends up without any suspension. Often it seems like the result plays a big factor. That was a terrible pass. Yeah Lundqvist should have had our 3rd goal, but man that 2nd one Price gave up just seemed worse. Was so busy watching...

This. There were some soft calls both ways in the Caps/Rags game tonight. Next game it'll be the knee jerk reaction the other way too and they won't call anything short of murder now.

Wings almost blew that game, but get it done in the end. Just like a Boudreau team to have a monster comeback but blow it in the end. I did pick Ducks in 7.

I actually don't think it ever crossed, I think it was stuck between his body and the post as it was just laying on his jersey/hip area that was locked against the post on the one camera angle Comcast had (local feed here). Impossible to really tell though due to lack of good angles. I wish...

Sloppy...left waaay too many chances out there. I really think Hillen/Erskine/Oleksy as the back end of our D is going to get exposed by the Rags' forward depth at some point too. I'll take it though...if only Erskine would stop scoring own goals.

It's nice that Ovechkin should have had 2 or 3 different assists on that PP, but he might as well just fire it himself if other guys are going to waste those chances...good lord. Every time Mike Green fires a shot directly into a defenders shins I want to murder him.

Our PP's before the Ovechkin goal did look like shit. Look how that one worked out, just have Green blast one from the point and get some bodies in tight. Lundy falling apart, I thought we were in trouble after refs handed you guys the 5 on 3 giving Fehr an extra minor. We just took another...

Man Caps look like shit now. Too cute on the passing. Just get bodies to the net and stop trying to set up the perfect chance.

Elurin, Habs did kind fall off a bit towards end of the regular season. I still expect them to pull out that series, but it'll be a weird one.

Yeah that TMM penalty was pretty bad. It wasn't even a guy getting caught near the bench too they were all on the rush.

Of course we dominate almost the whole first, Rags get a bullshit PP then score after the icing right as PP ended.

Don't sleep on the Rangers finish either, think they were like 10-3-1 or something in April? Something like that. Probably the most days off in a row either team has had since the season started. Could be a weird game.

If you played a drinking game for every Holtbyism you'd be blacked out before the 1st was over. I wonder if the semi long layoff will hurt either team. Or both.

Finally out series gets started tonight. I'm not sure what to expect because both us and the Rags are quite a bit different than we were last year. I don't expect wide open odd man rushes both ways all night, but I expect there to be a little more offense both ways than last year.

David Volek probably prevented a 3 peat.

Pens and B's making we wish I'd picked them in 5 instead of 6 now

I'm pretty sure one of Kiper's mocks then had Ben going to the Steelers at 11 too. Not that Kiper is always good or right, mind you, he just was in that case.

Troll?

Blues and Hawks send the home crowds happy a couple of minutes apart. What a start to the playoffs.

KINGS TIE! OT in both games!

Please please let us have OT game on night 1.

Blues/Kings game has been intense. The pace has just been insane.

Damn even after eviscerating them on home ice in Game 7? You'd think you'd already feel like you've done them enough harm.

Maybe a month into the season, but I think most people had us picked to be in the playoffs before the season started. They just figured Carolina or Tampa might be there too. I think the real culprit here is Leonsis knowing the Wizards weren't going anywhere so he booked Verizon Center as much...

Kill who do you have for Boston v. Toronto? Btw come to find out that reason Caps/Rags have to wait until Thursday to start their series (and why later on Games 5, 6, and 7 would be over only 4 days) is partially because of a damn Taylor Swift tour. First Yani during the Pens series in '09...

Avs win draft lottery. They did have the 2nd "best" chance of winning it, should be interesting to see with new coach coming in. Have some serious talent on that team, they should be better than what they were this year.

I doubt it goes less than 6 games either way. Oates coaching his first playoff series against Torts is a storyline too. Oates has been very good, but we'll see if a 7 game series is a different animal for him.

Good with the bad though? What was it 5 Conference title game appearances over a 10 year stretch? Obviously when you're contending that often it hurts to never break through and win one but many teams would kill for that level of steady success.

By the same token though, if the season was any longer we could have easily leapfrogged everyone in the East save Pittsburgh. We started the year 2-8-1 after hiring a new coach and having only a single week of "training camp" to install a completely new system and make changes to the PP/PK (not...

Hahaha, this is well put

Thanks, I do recall now. They just didn't really touch on it at all on the show yet since they invented the new back story for the new wife for Rob. I wonder if anyone who hasn't read the books will see the Red Wedding coming.

Campbell did get a raw deal with his time in the league. Absolutely zero continuity, O coordinators changing every year, played behind a terrible line during his time with the Skins. I think the career backup role is a better fit for his overall talent level, but there was a time when I think...

I'm saying acting like we built so many extra points from a ton of extra games vs our division just doesn't hold water when everyone else played them 15 times too. You mentioned the teams behind us in seeding, and some thought because of our "tough" schedule down the stretch against all those...
