Game on...
Just a thread to encourage some boasting (or gnashing of teeth) as we watch how our HFNHL stars perform in the NHL playoffs.
I'll start it off with opening night action:
***************************************************************
The Columbus Blue Jackets had several strong showings in last night's opening matchups of the 2007 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, as Mike Grier (SJS), Chris Kelly (OTT), Dustin Penner (game winer - ANA) and Henrik Sedin (game winner - VAN) all scored in their respective teams' series-opening wins.
Sedin's goal was particularly sweet, coming as it did in the fourth overtime period of a marthon matchup at GM Place. Sedin also added an assist on the night. Considering how much Sedin struggled to put the puck in the net during the regular season (scoring only 10 goals to go with his 71 assists in 82 games played), bagging the OT winner to put the Caucks up 1-0 in the series is even more special. Here's to hoping the goal breaks the floodgates as a sign of more scoring to come for Henrik!
***************************************************************
OK, over to you, boys: who is standing out for their terrific (or horrific) NHL playoff performances? (Nick, Cohen - got anything to say about how your goalies performed?
)

Luongo was the real star of that game, although obviously there is no shame in the loss for Turco. I did find it interesting the teams combined for 8 goals in the first 60 minutes and then it took another 70 minutes or so to get that pesky OT goal. It's not often I fall a sleep on the couch during over time and wake up two hours later and it's still going. Had to double check the clock before staggering to bed (had more than a beers at the Scotiabank place during the Sens win, so not a real surprise I passed out!).
Lets hope he can replicate those performances in our post season as well, the Sens are coming for you Joshua! 
that one last year? 
last season...yes, from that fabled #7 slot, but I'm feeling like I've got about a dozen crosshairs on me atm. 
I'm willing to take on the 2 vs 7 mojo to take you out Chump.
), three GM's that is not from a traditional ice hockey country and is half way around the world?
