Oh fooey :( The Habs managed to knock the Penguins out of the playoff's and the Flyers are taking the Bruins to game 7. It was a bad day in hockey.

Playoffs Recap: Day 25

The Canadiens are continuing their annoying drive for the cup. Again the Cinderella team beat the Penguins and have forced a game 7 upon the defending Stanley Cup champions. Final score was 4-3.

Bruins failed to score against the Flyers leaving the game with a final score of 4-0.

Crap...

Playoff's Recap: Day 23

 So Bruins lost...in OT... suck...

Blackhawks won though and there was another hat trick! Jonathan Toews completely took over last night and netted three goals, the game with a final score of 7-4 in favor of the Hawks!

Tonight the Penguins and Canadiens go at it in Game 5.

Playoff's Recap: Day 21

So I'm beginning to think my Bruins shirt has magical mystical powers. Every game I have worn it for the Bruins have won and tonight's game was no exception!! Full recaps are boring so like always I'll give you the important details. Asham scored the only goal for the Flyers about two and a half minutes into the game. Two minutes later Wheeler scored and then came Satan's little sploosh. WOW! It looked like he was skating in slow motion and right as he was about to pass the net he tapped it in past Boucher. With two more goals scored in the third by Bergeron and veteran Recchi the Bruins were able to seal the game tight and now anticipate Game 4 in Philly where they very well may take the series.

The Hawks game was nothing short of FANTASTIC, EXHILARATING and VENGEFUL! Good god this has to be one of the most interesting series’ so far. The bad blood between the Canucks and Hawks only makes the game so much more interesting. Aside from exceptional game play you get a side order of extreme checks, mouthing off and lots of fights. The Hawks took the game with an ending 5-2 score and pretty much laid out the Canucks while at it. The star of the game was Big Buff though who got the first Hawks playoff hat trick since like the 70s! With only three minutes left in the game an all out brawl ensued right in front of the Hawks bench centering around Bolland and Burrows (video coming soon). You can see the Hawks bench all smiles, Burish and Eager mouthing off, as O’Brien is backed away, HILARIOUS. The Hawks now lead the series 2-1 and return for Game 4 in Vancouver on Friday.

That's more like it!

Finally a night where both my teams win!

B's take Flyers 3-2...up on series 2-0 heading to Philly.

Hawks win it 4-2...tie series 1-1 heading to Vancouver.

Hopefully the Pens & Sharks can pull off W's tonight...completing a quartet of wins for my teams. 

Playoff's Recap: Day 19

It was a great day in Hockey for both the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks.
The Bruins have taken a strong lead over the Flyers after today's win in a 3-2 game. With goals from Satan and Boychuck the Bruins are off to a great series start.

The Blackhawks game was another success. Canuck Mason Raymond got an early goal followed by another by Mikael Samuelsson but the Hawks didn't stop their game. Brent Seabrook netted one in the first and from there on the team had some momentum. With no scoring in the 2nd the Hawks came back in the 3rd with an amazing goal by the Sharp Shooter Patrick Sharp. Steeger's game winner showed just how great the Hawks are at passing the puck and then Patrick Kane sealed the deal with an empty net goal with 45 seconds to spare. The Hawks are back in the game and have tied the series 1-1.

Playoffs Recap: Day 12

 Extremely proud of the Hawks and Bruins! Both closed out their series and our moving on to the semifinals!
The Hawks did most of their scoring in the first period with goals from Keith, Kane, Sharp and Toews and in the last seconds of the game Madden tossed one into an empty net. The Hawks will now move on to playing the Sedin twins and the Canucks!!

The Bruins also closed out their series against the Sabres at home in Boston. David Krejci was #1 star with two goals scored against Ryan Miller. It is still unclear which team the Bruins will play in the semifinals.

Last and CERTAINLY LEAST we have the Caps/Habs game. As it looks right now I can tell you the Capitals don't look like they're going to the finals. Maybe they're tired or maybe they just got too cocky but this is not the same team that dominated the regular season. The Caps scored just one goal in last night's game to the Canadiens' four. The Capitals return to DC for game 7.

Playoffs Recap: Day 8

Do you know what double OT is? DO YOU?! It's game 4 of the Bruins and Sabres series. What a game! Sure it was a little long but it kept me on the edge of my seat! Low scoring games like that mean one thing: the goalies were BOSS! The Bruins knocked out the Sabres with a goal from Satan at the 12:19 mark. The Bruins have secured a good series leave at 3-1.
Now to that Caps game. Ovechkin: 2, Knuble: 2. 11 seconds left in the game and Backstrom sends another in. The final score was 6-3 despite the fact that the Habs were up for a bit. All I can say is that is CAPS HOCKEY!

The Canucks did their own share of sweeping against the Kings with a final score of 6-4. Again, a team with identical twins is set out to do GREAT things!

Tonight the Pens hope to close out their series against the Senators back home at Mellon and the Blackhawks BETTER win tonight. How else are they going to be in the Stanley Cup finals? PICK IT UP!!!

Officially in LOVE with playoff hockey...

Last night's game between the Bruins & Sabres made it crystal clear as to why the NHL playoffs are the best to watch. DOUBLE overtime!!! It took almost an extra 40 minutes for a decision to be made. Ultimately Satan became the hero of the night scoring a siiick goal about 8 minutes into 2OT. It was amazing to watch...if I would've still been in Boston, you better believe I would've found a way to be there. Bruins are now up 3-1 in the series.

The Washington Capitals also won their 3rd game in the series last night. I was recently hit with a reality, when the Caps & Pens win their respective series, they'll be facing each other in the next round. Super conflict of interest! I love my Pens, but the Caps are so much fun to watch! That series will be the death of me. The Penguins should wrap up their series tonight back home.

And lastly, my Hawks play tonight also. Tuesday nights game just sucked, I actually turned it off after the Preds 4th goal. How are they going to make it to the finals if they keep up with the shiteous play?!?! Pick it up!!!

Fight Night! Andrej Sekera VS. Vladimir Sobotka

Playoffs Recap: Day 6

What a night! Sporting my Bruins shirt I watched the exciting match up with the Sabres. The Bruins started their physical play in game 2 and it definitely seems to be working for them. The Sabres fell in a 2-1 game.
The Kings came back at the Canucks breaking the series tie and now leading 2-1.
But the big story though was the Capitals annihilating win over the Canadiens. 5-1.. 5 TO 1! Four of which were scored in the second period by Knuble, Laich, Fehr and Ovechkin and Bradley in the third. Ovechkin had the best goal of the night with a lightning fast one-timer. It also gets the 'OH MY GOD HOW ADORABLE' award for Nick Backstrom's reaction to it.
Here's the video:

Why are hockey players so darn cute? Ovi looks like a kid on that ice!
Be sure to watch tonight as the Blackhawks take on the Predators in Nashville and Pittsburgh continue their take on the Senators!

Playoffs Recap: Day 4

The Capitals have tied the series at 1-1!!!! What a comeback! At one point they were down 4-1 and they came back! John Carlson gets our # 1 star spot, tying the game nearly two minutes before regulation ended and a big WOOO to Nicklas Backstrom who won it in OT 31 seconds in!!!!!
All we need now is a win by the Blackhawks tomorrow and the world will once again be aligned!!

Also tonight the Bruins beat the Sabres in a 5-3 game and the Kings tied the series with a win over Vancouver.
GO CAPS!

Tomorrow's Schedule

Playoffs Recap: Day 2

Another disappointing day. The Habs beat the Caps in overtime putting a game one win under their belt. Maybe if Alex Ovechkin and Alex Semin would have actually shown up to the game the Caps could have taken it but the two seemed to lollygag up and down the ice, missing shots and over-skating the puck.
The Bruins fell to the Sabres, no shocker there and the Canucks were able to put down the Kings in OT. When you have twins on your team you are bound for great things!
