First round games are over. Chicago beats Calgary, Anaheim dumps the Sharks; Washington beats New York and Carolina gets by New Jersey. Ack, I was only 3 for 8 on the first round picks. Let’s hope for better results this time. Boston plays Carolina. Boston is too strong for them. Detroit gets Anaheim. Wow, duck beats shark; but wing [...]
And then there were 12
Detroit sweeps to move on, being the first Cup winner since ‘02 to get out of the first round. Pittsburgh, down 3 goals; comes back to win the game and oust the Flyers in a game that just ended. Anaheim can end it series tonight. Also Calgary/Chicago play, but at 2-2; this one goes on. [...]
2 down-14 to go
Boston sweeps Montreal to move on. Good, any teams fans that boo a National Anthem have no class. Calgary comes back and ties the series 2-2. Back to Chicago for game 5. And the Rangers beat the Capitals to take a 3-1 series lead. Tonight we have Detroit and Pittsburgh trying to end their series. [...]
Sweep
The first sweep is complete. Vancouver beats St. Louis 3-2 in O.T. to win the series. St. Louis played a better game but the lack of scoring on their powerplays doomed them. They were 0-for-7 last night with the man advantage and 1-for-24 in the series. Not going to win with those numbers. Carolina scores with [...]
Mighty Ducks
The Ducks win two on the road and now return home. San Jose isn’t done yet but is in a hole. Wouldn’t be a huge upset as most teams are closer talent wise than the years before the cap. But it would be big disappointment for the Sharks to go out in the first round. [...]
Watch me throw my voice
So I’m looking for the scores of the games I missed. Where is the Sharks/Ducks score? Everyone played game two last night, right? Wrong, they play today due to a ventriloquist that was booked into the Shark Tank on Saturday night. Doh, who is responsible for that? Um, there won’t be a playoff game on [...]
Onward to victory
Wings won their first game along with Boston, Anaheim and Chicago. No big surprises, the Ducks win on the road. Last night, what can I say about Philly. Played a better game until the end and into overtime. Penalties, you just have to be aware of what you are doing; give up a 5 on [...]
First games
With the first games out of the way the rest start tonight. Last night we saw New Jersey handle Carolina 4-1. Jersey played good shutting down Carolina’s top line. Vancouver beat St. Louis 2-1. New York beat Washington 4-3 on the road. And Pittsburgh beat Philly 4-1. Philly just played stupid and took too many [...]
Alrighty rooty!

The Hanson’s-They’re back!
Well, kinda. Who remembers the famous Hanson brothers from the movie Slapshot? Cmon, Paul Newman was in it…now you remember. Turns out a son is now in the NHL. Who would have thunk it.

NEWARK, N.J. – The script was perfect for the first NHL goal by the son of one of [...]
