Playoffs Recap: Day 11

 What a great day in hockey! 2 series were closed out and the Hawks tied their series!
How about that last second goal by Kaner? And then there was that OT goal by Hossa just a second after he was out of the box! The Hawks return to Nashville tomorrow for game 5 of their series.

 The Sharks closed out their series with the help of Joe Pavelski who netted two goals and beat the Avalanche 5-2. The Sharks will come back to the semifinal series and play whoever wins out of the Red Wings/Coyotes series.

 The Penguins and Senators sure do know how to get plays reviewed. Including game 5 they had a total of 6 goal reviews, some working in favor and some not. I'll tell you, that situation room in Toronto sure was busy. The Penguins were able to come back from a 2-0 deficit, tie the game and then take it in overtime with a goal from Pascal Dupuis.Pascal Dupuis was the official #1 star but I give it to Matt Cooke for his two goals and because he's missing like 8 teeth and can rock it. The Penguins will rest now until the Canadien/Capitals series ends.

Today the Red Wings hope to close out their series against the Coyotes as do the Canucks against the Kings.

Playoffs Recap: Day 9

What a day of hockey. The Flyers became the first team to win a quarterfinal series and the Penguins went into TRIPLE OT with the Senators. I wish I could say I felt bad for the Devils but I don't. They just fell apart at the worst possible time. If you don't bring your A game you're gonna lose it and lose it they did, in a shutout game mind you.
The Penguins and Senators game was great and entertaining but good god did that think take forever. The Pens weren't able to win despite a series 3-1 lead. Hopefully tonight they'll end their series in Ottawa.
The Hawks put on a great show and Niemi got his second shutout of the playoffs. Sharpie put in two goals and Tazer one :), the Predators? ZERO. Could it be that Soupy was back or perhaps the Hawks just realized two more losses and they were out. Either way they won making me a very happy girl.
I'd be lying if I was interested in the Sharks/Avalanche series but they still deserve some blog time. The Sharks had their first shutout of the playoffs and pretty much raped the Avalanche with a 5-0 win.
Here is today's schedule:

VISITING TEAM	HOME TEAM	TIME	NETWORK/RESULT
NASHVILLE	CHICAGO	3:00 PM ET 2:00 PM CT	TSN (HD),NBC (HD),RDS (HD)
PITTSBURGH	OTTAWA	7:00 PM ET 7:00 PM ET	VERSUS,CBC (HD),RDS (HD),FSN-P (HD)
SAN JOSE	COLORADO	10:00 PM ET 8:00 PM MT	CBC (HD),RDS (HD),VERSUS (HD),CSN-CA (HD),ALT (HD)

Playoffs Recap: Day 7

The Hawks were INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING last night, to say the least. Not only were they raped in a 4-1 game but they also gave up a penalty shop. Great job Dustin.

The Penguins on the other hand played a great game! A 7-4 game is exciting but shows extremely poor goal-tending. They are sitting comfortably with a series 3-1 league.

Here are the complete scores for Tuesday April 20, 2010:

VISITING TEAM	HOME TEAM	TIME	NETWORK/RESULT
PHOENIX	DETROIT	6:30 PM ET 6:30 PM ET	FINAL PHX (0) - DET (3)
PITTSBURGH	OTTAWA	7:00 PM ET 7:00 PM ET	FINAL PIT (7) - OTT (4)
NEW JERSEY	PHILADELPHIA	7:30 PM ET 7:30 PM ET	FINAL NJD (1) - PHI (4)
CHICAGO	NASHVILLE	9:00 PM ET 8:00 PM CT	FINAL CHI (1) - NSH (4)
SAN JOSE	COLORADO	10:00 PM ET 8:00 PM MT	FINAL SJS (2) - COL (1) OT

ohhh Chris Neil...

your toothless ass is an idiot :)

As if your teams 7-4 loss in game 3 to the Penguins wasn't embarrassing enough. You had to go & make a god damn stupid spectacle with less than 2 minutes left in the period. I can't wait until you're off to play golf for the rest of the summer in less than a weeks times. I'm pretty sure the only person I like on the Senators is Mike Fisher...the rest of the retards on that team try way to hard. 

On a much much happier note, my Pens are now leading the series 3-1. All they need is a win at the Igloo on Thursday to move on to the next round. Sidney Crosby is playing absolutely ridiculous hockey. 

And the Caps are up in their series 2-1 after beating the Habs 5-1 on Monday night. It looks as if that first game was just a fluke. They are definitely back on point. I hope they wrap this series up by Friday as well. Rookie John Carlson is proving to be a force for the boys in Red, if he keeps it up I smell a niiiice contract in the near future.

There should have definitely been a call for this one...

Fight Night! Zack Smith VS. Maxime Talbot

Playoffs Recap: Day 1

                             
It was incredible. Not even five minutes into the period Malkin shoots one from the far side on the right and gets right past Elliot making it a one-nothing game. Penguins fans were raving and it seemed like it was going to be smooth sailing from there, not even close.
The Senators played as if they were playing IN the Stanley Cup finals. They fought hard scoring goal after goal and always one-upping their competitor. In near restitution Craig Adams scored a goal, giving hope to his team but unfortunately the Pens fell to the Senators in their playoff home opener and all the blame from this side is being put on Mc-Fleury who was pure GARBAGE last night and should have been pulled for at least the third period. Let's hope those playoff beards get a chance to grow, with Mc-Fleury in the net though it may be damn near impossible.

The Coyotes just keep on impressing and played a tight game with the relentless Red Wings resulting in a 3-2 score in favor of Phoenix. The seen underdogs Avalanche defeated the number one seat Sharks and the Flyers started their playoff run well, putting the Devils down.

Be sure to watch tonight as the # 1 Capitals take on the Habs @ the Verizon Center.
