EHM The Blue Line

That's true, but i meant that playoff-experience means more, and Rask has played only 36 games.

Bad idea or not, I'll always love when the rivalry start.

So I watched the first period of the Phoenix/Detroit game on TSN last night. They were showing the Versus feed. The commentators widdled me off. They were so pro-Detroit that I thought it was the Detroit radio feed. The annoucers kept building up Detroit as 'THE BEST TEAM EVER~!'. And then kept treating the Coyotes with kiddie gloves, as if to say making the playoffs is enough for Phoenix.

It made me happy that Phoenix won Game 1. I hope they win the series.

So we had the Coyotes beating the Red Wings...
Also the Avs beating the Sharks...
Flyers beat the Devils...
And the Senators beat the Pens...

That's a nice interesting start to the playoffs!

Yeah, quite cool. Let's hope Bruins can beat Buffalo, now, and away teams will continue winning.

Psst...Phoenix was the home team.

Hm, true

That's what I'm talking about! I'm really happy that Phoenix and the Avalanche won their games! Don't want to see Detroit in the second round and want to see the Avs in the second round.


As for the game Pens/Sens it was good. Goalie sucks a little bit though but I like game where teams keep scoring after each other.

Lets go Bruins...lets go Habs...kick some tankers ass

Well done Sens

I am liking your acknowledgement of the Sens. They played a great game with a littole help from Fleury though. I thought the Neil-Kelly-Rutuu line was amazing.

As I was thinking first Miller steal the game against Boston....Danny 4-0 Boston?

I'm really surprise by the game Caps/Habs tonight. Really good game, Caps dominate alot but Halak save the Habs so far. Now the Habs will start the OT with a PP let's see whats gonna happen at the Verizon Center!

Woah!!! Hockey play-offs are awesome!

That save in OT by Luongo was great goaltending instincts. I agree getz, these playoffs have been awesome so far.

It was a great game game from the Sens, the third line really stepped up.

There's going to be some trouble now, since Michalek is out for the season. And since Kovalev is already injured, the Sens are somewhat short on the wings (well, a lot actually). But if Elliott can get those playoff jitters out of his system and the team keeps on working hard, the Penguins are going to have a hard time in the series.

But for now, i couldn't be happier!

The Playoffs games should all be first team to score wins! Those 2 overtimes last night were absolutely awesome!

This has been two days now of one goal games, with a couple of trips to overtime. My physiotherapist asked me the other day who I thought would take home the Cup, but I told him then and I say now that I think it's anyone's championship. Each team has a potential flaw, and it's totally up for grabs.

The B's put so many shots on Miller in the 2nd period! The Sabres can't let that kind of thing happen much more or they'll be in trouble. Miller was awesome though. Still, I think Rask looked good too.

It was 25 shots? Or something like this? That's crazy. But you're right the Sabres should not let this happen often.

Oufff pretty rough hit by Sutton on Jordan Leopold! Didn't see a good angle of the hit do you think it deserve a suspension? I think he hit the head a little but Leopold was staking heads down....Anyway great game again really robust play.

Good game Devils/Flyers too. Just hope the Avs will win tonight!

I agree the hit was rough, but did you see crosby's hitfrom behind on Rutuu? that hit was dirty. If Rutuu did the to Crosby he would be sspended for life. I hate how the league just loves Crosby.

ESPN America studio specialists said that it was a clean hit... Didn't look like it for me.

Skip to 5:58 to see hit on rutuu. The hit by Sutton was rough, but clean. It was a north south hit as they call it. Leopold should have had his head up.

BTW he's not Rutuu, he's Ruutu!

Crosby plays sometimes very dirty. He will not be suspended cause he is franchise player. It's stupid that franchise players are privileged.

I remember when he hit Brett McLean in faceoff in 08-09(?). That was very dirty.

Jacobs wants 3 home games. Naive of me not to think of that when I made that prediction.
Back on track now anyway. More Slug abuse to follow, Roy, Kaleta and all other effin Buffalo divers prepare to kiss glass. Chara rocked. Loved how he put Ennis into the bench after the whistle. If Buffalo wants to play it dirty well I think you picked the wrong guys. Even Ryder is p***** off at all the antics from the Sabres and starts hitting everything in sight...even if it's Andy Ference
