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!!!

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!
