I figure Pens to win that series but that's still just one game.

Pierre McGuire is the worst. Pens up 5-0 and all he's talking about is where the Pens need improvement.

Forcing me to listen to Pierre McGuire while watching the Pens is my personal Clockwork Orange.

Vegas deal should be like Fight club. We don't talk about it.

Until next time. It has been well played.

Oh potshot there! How did Giroux get Bubba's driver and convert to handedness.

A post with potential for Best of 1st Round.

So many different twists, all of them funny.

Especially Flyers needing tee times in 4, 3, 2, 1 games.

What a strange entrance by the Boston anthem singer, Rene Rancourt...... ......Exit too......guess that's his schtick.

Hitch is retiring

He's retiring after this season.

He's definitely an acquired taste. I haven't acquired it.

I'm sure there are those who could find fault somehow with how we open our games in Columbus, but that guy is a borderline clown. I've sometimes wondered if irony is what keeps him employed.

Lol Hornqvist gets boarded and gets 2 minute for flopping lol.

Tonight, we are all Flyers fans.

Vegas-Kings going to OT...

Vegas has reminded me of a few of our games... just throwing shots at Quick from all angles/not waiting for quality chances.

USA announcers reported an interesting strategy that the Caps adopted after last years loss to Pittsburgh. The Caps analyzed their shot pattern vs Pittsburgh's and determined that it wasn't the number of shots but the quality that mattered. This year they emphasized trying to get the goalie moving and pass opposite his move to get a better shot. An example was Smith-Pelley's goal on a pass from Vrana who had got Bob sliding to his side and then fired a cross crease pass to SP.

Tried to make it through the end of VGK-LA but had to get some sleep. Almost 2 full OTs - guessing the fans were about as tired as the players

Poor Quick though, he was like a fish out of water after every save.

This boston/Toronto series is like watching a CBJ alumni game. Hainsey, CMaC, Nash.

And Nash looks old and slow.

I haven't seen every minute, but Nash has looked pretty good in the minutes of the series I've watched.

The funny thing about that is the Ping makes a limited edition retail version of the pink driver where the money goes to charity but they don't make it in LH. As a left handed golfer I find that ironic.

 

[Socks]

Agreed. I think Nash has looked decent, at least in the game I saw.

 

[Maylo]

Only Vegas and LA agreed to playoff scoring, everyone else playing like it's nineties. 5:3, 7:3, 5:4...

 

[We Want Ten]

I made that post, then the next few shifts he had a couple of breakaways and other good efforts.
What can you do?

Looks like Gostisbehere has moved into the lead at the conclusion of the 3rd round. Carrying a 1 shot lead on Claude Giroux.

He is approaching the tour record of -7 held by James Wisniewski in the 2014 PNC Ohio River Classic.
