Eastern Conference
#1 Pittsburgh Penguins vs #7 Ottawa Senators
The Penguins did what they were supposed to do on home ice. Sidney Crosby scored a hat trick in game two to give the Pens a 2-0 lead in the series. The flightless birds were about to take a commanding 3-0 series lead on the Sens when THIS HAPPENED!!!…
After a scoreless first twenty minutes of overtime, Colin Greening cut the Penguins series lead to 2-1 with this overtime winner…
Game 4 is Wednesday night at 7:30 ET in Ottawa
#4 Boston Bruins vs #6 New York Rangers
As I expected, the Bruins have a 2-0 series lead heading back to New York. Plain and simple, the Rangers are an anemic offensive team and the Bruins have one of the best goalies in the league. In order for the Rangers to win a game in the series, they’ll have to win 1-0, which they have failed to do so far. ”The King” Henrik Lundqvist, has not been king like so far in this series. He has allowed a handful of pedestrian goals so far . Game two was a blowout win by the Bruins, but game one ended like THIS!…
Game 3 is Tuesday night 7:30 ET in New York.
Western Conference
#1 Chicago Blackhawks vs #7 Detroit Red Wings
These two Original Six teams have split the first two games of the series by identical scores of 4-1. Almost all of the goals in this series have come off broken plays or weird bounces. Odd-man rushes, two and three on one breaks, defenseman falling down, pucks bouncing right to wide open players. You name it, it’s happened. The goal of the series so far has come from Detroit’s Valtteri Filppula. Check out this beauty…
Game 3 is tonight at 7:30pm ET in Detroit.
#5 Los Angeles Kings vs #6 San Jose Sharks.
The defending Stanley Cup Champions had a 2-0 series lead heading into “The Shark Tank”. A game three win in San Jose would all but guarantee a trip to the Western Conference Finals. While shorthanded with under 20 seconds left in the third period, the Kings broke in on a last-ditch effort to win the game. Inexplicably, the Kings Trevor Lewis drove hard right into Sharks goalie Antti Niemi, and subsequently put the Sharks on a two-man advantage heading into overtime. Then THIS HAPPENED!…
Game 4 is Tuesday night at 10:30 ET in San Jose.
