The Stanley Cup finals have begun with a flurry of goals and OT games.Are you watching?Who do you think will win?
Canadiens have control over their series with Tampa.Having won the first 2 games on the road,Montreal now goes home to try and clinch round 1. Anaheim also has a 2 - 0 series lead but now have to travel to Dallas,the Stars aren't out of it. Thanks to some Pavel Datsyuk magic,Detroit has put itself up winning the series opener on the road.Is there a better player than Datsyuk when the pressure is on to find a goal?
I don't know, Aussie. Stars G Kari Lehtonen may be like Tony Romo. Plays good in the regular season, but can't step up in the postseason.
NHL Playoffs more often than not is all about riding the hottest goaltender to the Cup Finals and the Championship...if you don't have a hot goaltender, you're not going far at all...
Lehtonen is now 0-4 in the postseason. 0-2 when he was with Atlanta, and after last night's game, 0-2 with the Stars.
I caught the very tail end of the Blackhawks-Blues game. Can't believe the Blues scored the tying goal with 6 seconds left. What a heartbreaking loss for Chicago fans.
Flyers get the empty netter to ice the Rangers and tie the series 1-1, Rangers won game 1 but it was a 1-1 game for 3/4 of it. This is going to be a tough series, looking forward to more. I still like the Rangers in this series though. It's one loss, people will make a big deal about the streak of losses ending. The team needs to just put this game behind them and grind out the series win.
Even though the Flyers won, if I were a Rangers fan I would still be confident. They had more chances and better overall talent.
I feel bad for Mason because he played out of his mind, but the Rangers were the better team overall. They deserved to move on.
Fun series between the Flyers and Rangers. Hats off to Mason who did all he could to keep the Flyers alive. It's on to face Pittsburgh. Rangers have to find a way to get their power play going and Rick Nash needs to start racking up some points. If they don't the Penguins could make quick work of them.
