Playoffs Recap: Day 26

The Hawks played exceptionally well last night and are moving to the Western Conference finals against the Sharks!!!

Let's go Hawks!!!1

Playoffs Recap: Day 24

 The Sharks are the first team to make it to the conference finals knocking out the Red Wings. Despite a nice drive by the Wings who kept the game tied for most of it, the Sharks broke their playoff bad luck spell!

The Penguins pleased their home fans in a 2-1 game against the Canadiens. In your face CALAMARI!

Short and sweet :)

Playoffs Recap: Day 22

 The Penguins fought hard but fell short in tonight's game against the Habs. Pens/Habs final score was 3-2 despite an ongoing lead by the Pens. The series is now tied 2-2.

Crazy night in Hockeytown where Johan Franzen scored 4 goals in just one period and the overall score was 7-1!!! Guess the Red Wings aren't ready to end their season. Boys are back in San Jose Saturday for Game 5.

Playoff's Recap: Day 20

20 days of playoff's and the action is only getting better!

Today the Penguins and Canadiens played their first semifinal game in Montreal and unfortunately things did not go well for the Canadiens. Fleury managed to get a shutout (looks like he's finally starting to play like a Stanley Cup Champion) and Malkin finally netted one after a five game dry spell. Just because they lost does not mean the Habs didn't play well. Halak was still a force and notable presences on the ice were former Florida Panther Dominic Moore and P.K. Subban. The Penguins now lead the series 2-1. The Habs and Pens go for game 4 in Montreal on Thursday.

Hockeytown fell silent tonight. The Sharks have taken a strong 3-0 lead over the Red Wings after yesterday's OT game. Despite early goals by the Wings and even a penalty shot opportunity, the veteran team fell to the California team. The Sharks hope to close out this series Thursday night in Detroit.

Playoff's Recap: Day 15 and 16

Although I have a strange attraction to the Wings I will admit I did not watch the game. I caught some highlights the following day but that's all. The Sharks took an early lead in the game and it looked like the Wings were going to get shut out but they made an amazing comeback. The Sharks kept the lead though and won 4-3.

The Penguins/Canadiens game was a blast of energy and it is safe to say that Halak has met his match. The Penguins got 4 pucks past Halak before the Canadiens put Price in. Although they had  a great win with a final score of 6-3, the Pens still suffered a great loss when Jordan Staal took the blade of P.K. Subban to his foot. Staalsy had surgery to repair a lacerated tendon and although he is not ruled out of the rest of the playoff's he is currently on day to day.

The Hockey Bees hope for a speedy recovery and may Staalsy be back soon!

In just half an hour the Chicago Blackhawks begin their series against the Vancouver Canucks so be sure to watch!!

These goalies need to do something about that gear!

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 3

Let's keep this short and sweet.
The Blackhawks were raped by the Predators despite an awesome goal by mullet-head Patrick Kane.
Kris Letang surprisingly won it for the Pens and tied the series at 1-1.
The Devils came back at the Flyer and won 5 to 3.
The Red Wings did an AMAZING job against the Coyotes, Henrik Zetteberg getting a hat trick and everything! They tied the series with a 7-4 win.
Finally after fighting hard the Sharks came back in the third sending the game into OT and beating the Avalanche in a 6-5 game.

Tonight the Capitals and the Canadiens go at it again (THE CAPITALS ARE CURRENTLY GETTING OWNED 3-1 IN THE 2ND).

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.
