    Yet, here's proof that the Wild are not as over-matched as the Flames.

    After watching it again, It's way more from the side and shoulder to shoulder. Boyle was unlucky to be hunched over there too. Goalies get a lot of credit for a 2-1 game, but really both teams had a lot more chances that could have been goals tonight. You guys were eating Gleason alive...

    Pierre "CLEARLY FROM BEHIND"...on replay it looks shoulder to shoulder, and Dan Boyle was hunched over as much as anyone could be, already against the boards too. What a play by Ovechkin there not giving up on the puck. Ward makes up for ringing the iron when he literally had as good a chance...

    Also apparently you have to be in control of your stick at all times...except when you're high sticking a goalie, then it's just tough to play in the slot.

    Caps PPless streak against NY teams ended after 117 minutes. Then we got 2 in a row, mainly b/c Kreider missed the stick lift and so obviously dinged Glencross up high. Pretty good snipe by AO, nice move by Trotz starting the 2nd PP unit to end up with Ovechkin v. Boyle on that chance (if that...

    For all the Game 7 heroics, Bishop still doesn't have a lot of playoff experience, and on the whole, wasn't the better goalie against Detroit. Even if none of that were an issue, he's going to be looking across the ice at Carey Price. Habs automatically get the nod in the goaltending match up...

    Think Tampa matches up pretty well with Habs actually. My biggest question mark for Tampa (Bishop) just posted a shutout in Game 7. Could be the push they need. Have to be a homer to think Chicago can win a playoff series? Kidding right? This is the Blackhawks we're talking about. Wild...

    No game tonight sucks btw. I thought I would like having a day of detox after suffering through Game 7 last night, but wish there was some hockey on tonight I could enjoy. Tomorrow will be fun, and Game 1 for us Thursday night.

    Kronwall gets 1 game for elbow to head. Will miss Game 7 tomorrow night. I'm a little surprised since it is Game 7, but I think the hit deserved a game.

    Feel bad for Zucc, never want to see a guy go out taking a slap shot to the noggin like that. The Klein injury was weird too cause it was on a random long range slapper that just hit him in a real bad spot. I'm praying we get a split, although already writing off Game 2. 12:30 start means...

    If Rangers are healthy, I think they're at least 50/50 to beat anyone out West. This year wasn't like the past couple where the West was clearly better than the East. It's weird how the Ducks are kind of under the radar. While Calgary is a great story, and I don't expect them to get swept...

    Crazy stat. Caps/Isles had 27 combined PP's over 7 games, the fewest in a 7 game series over the last 25 yeas (apparently as far back as it was easy to look up the data, might be longer). The next closest was Toronto/Boston in 2013, with 41 combined PP's over 7 games. 14 less PP's than any...

    If you're a small/skilled D man who isn't used to physical play and are not good at avoiding hits, it's going to be tough sledding.

    Ducks w/ Boudreau, I figured someone would beat him in a Game 7 again like always. Hawks, well, I made my picks before I knew Kane was going to be back for Round 1. Also for whatever reason I just felt like after winning that division, this might be the year they get over the hump. Drawing...

    Hearing NBC is panning "missed calls" against the Caps, but not showing any of the stuff the other way, like the obvious missed trip to Glencross in the 1st, or Strait giving Chimera the exact same hit that Ovechkin gave Hickey.

    It's funny how the rumors on Chip moving up or trading for Mariota just won't go away. I thought at one point he'd "settled" all the rumors but they persist still. Has to be somewhat legit if the noise is still there at this point, no?
