Sorry, Jesse. :(

But no "Congrats, Steve"?  ;)  :-*  To be honest, I thought the Pens-Rangers game was pretty good.  The Pens didn't look good in the first period, but they made adjustments and held things even with NY.  This will be a fun match up. 

I know at least 1 of my "home" teams is guaranteed to make it into Round 2.  Yeah, even though the Wild didn't thrill me when I lived there, I still root for them.

PK Subban demonstrated a good slash for me the other night.  Not sure if the penalty too severe though.

Should be suspended, but the nhl is the #BestSportWorstLeague (twitter needs to trend that).

Hard to look good in the first when 8 minutes spent on the PK. :P  Pens didn't complain but coach did and rightly so.  2 were bad calls and ones rangers got away with in 2nd n 3rd.  First goal was soft but Martin was as much to blame as Fleury was on the rebound.  It was a good game in general tho.  Tighter than I imagined, actually.

I'm not sure I agree with naming Crawford the starter for tomorrow's game, but at least the fans know that Darling can come in and hold his own if need be.

I have to believe that Darling starts Game 3 now after yet another forgettable performance by Crawford.  He did a decent job keeping them in it until the third when he fell apart.  Seriously, these 3-goal periods for the other team is not a trend I'd like to continue to see.

Yeah that was awful.  It's a tough choice, I'd bet Darling gets the start.

If Crawford gets another go, it's because they're at home, and he'll be on thin ice (yuck yuck).

Great game for Tampa today.  If the Blackhawks lay an egg this series, hopefully I can at least enjoy a nice deep run for the Lightning.

Loved Dubnyk had that awesome save in yesterday's loss on his way to the bench.

Another Ranger win, but the Pens just owned the second half of the game.  I'm picking the Rangers to win it all, but it's not going to be easy.  Not that I ever think it's going to be easy.

Man, this Jets game is crazy...  if you guys blow another 3rd period lead...   :-[

Ugly game, but the crowd at the MTS is everything it was hyped to be - chanting, cheering, drunk... ;)

It doesn't get much better than watching great goaltending.

Big night tonight for OTT and WPG. 

Hoping Brent's Jets make it interesting tonight, as I'd like to see them stretch Anaheim to 6-7 games.  If you guys aren't going to beat them, the least you could do is wear them down a bit for the rest of the West.   And hey - I picked the Jets in 7, so there is still time for you guys to turn it around. ;)


As for me, I'm going to the game tonight.  Can't wait! Really hoping we play as well as we did in Game 3.  :)

Yeah, I hope they win too, just to prevent a sweep if nothing else.  I'll be at the game tonight too.  Loving these 8:30 starts.   ::)  I know it's about TV but gee, I wonder if the late starts favor the Ducks to any extent.  Nah.

Yeah, that pretty much friggin' sucked.   :'(

Worst game I've ever seen at Xcel.  Colossal turd.  Took all the kick-assery of Game 3 and flushed it.  Made me so sad to see Xcel 75% empty in the 3rd period. (though it was 11pm at night I guess they all had to get home to bed?)

Blech.  Time to reboot and get ready for Games 5 and 6.
