Big ups to islanders crowd. That place was rocking. I don't know about the penz this year. They just don't look like they have it.

CBJ's just downed the Lightning 5-1 to go up 2-0 in the series. Insane.

Oh, and Kucherov is a ****ing idiot and is almost certainly going to be suspended for this bullshit.

As a Blues fan, it's refreshing to see the other team let down by their goaltender for a change.

It was a very good win.

That's crazy. Wow, what the heck got into him!

I can only assume that it's driven by extreme butthurt over his historically awesome team getting their asses handed to them twice in a row.

Kadri got 2 games for a similar hit in last year's playoffs, although I doubt Kucherov will be punished as harshly.

Yeah, 2 seems fair to me, but it wouldn't surprise me if he only gets one.

You're right. He got 1 game.
It's not lookin' good for the Lightning right now.

The combination of how awful the Blue Jackets looked late in the season (at least as far back as Duchene) and of course the Lightning's regular season dominance.... damn. But, there have been plenty of times where the home team goes down 0-2 and ties the series on the road.



Noon hockey today and 9am hockey tomorrow. PBJ

Is it too late to trade the outcomes of the Caps and Lightning?

After a LOOOOONG day in the yard trimming trees and sundry other things, and two trips to the dump to get rid of the branches, I'm hoping this Leafs/Bruins game is a good one..

Is it too late to put "Islanders in 4"?

Avs take it in OT! If it weren't for Mike Smith, it would have been like 5-2, but I'll take it. Coming home with home ice advantage? I'll take that.

I almost would have felt bad for hockey had the Preds lost to the Avalanche last year, as far as watching the best teams deep in the playoffs (granted, the Preds' next series wasn't all that great)..... not so much this year, beating the douches Smith and Tkachuck would be fun, and the Flames haven't wowed me.

Not that I expect that, at all, of course.... last night it was the MacKinnon and Barrie show. Landeskog and Johnson had their moments, and that was pretty much it. They'll need a little bit of help.
