The Lightning / Panthers series is going to be so fun.

Yep should be but if Point is seriously injured and out that would be a tough blow for the Bolts.

The Maple Leafs are the Minnesota Vikings of the NHL

Nah - the Vikings will at least advance every once in awhile.

 

[BigJCy]

Oilers move on with the win we will see if we have a Battle of Alberta if Calgary can win tonight.

We have a Game 7 Overtime with Pens-Rangers on TBS.

Sometimes I think the BWW button is real

 

[jdoggivjc]

I hate both teams, but this has been a fun game. Nothing like Stanley Cup Playoff hockey.

 

[BigJCy]

And we have yet another Game 7 OT with Stars & Flames on ESPN2.

 

[BigJCy]

Stars goalie was unbelievable but Flames finally get one through to win the series.

First time since 1991 we have a Battle of Alberta.

First time since 1991 we have a Battle of Alberta.

Battle of Alberta and Battle of Florida.

Battle of Alberta and Battle of Florida.

185 miles from Edmonton to Calgary. Do they fly or just bus down.

2nd round schedule:

officiating master-class in the Battle of Florida tonight.

McDonagh checked a guy and they said the Florida player hadn't caught the puck yet. That's atrocious.

Avs beat Blues in OT. Kind of amazing the game got to OT as Colorado controlled most of the game.

“Control” in hockey is a weird thing, especially compared to basketball or football. In those sports control is reflected by the scoreboard.

But in hockey there are times where controlling a game just doesn’t really mean jack. If the goaltender is able to keep the puck out of the net despite a constant onslaught, and the team is able to take advantage of counters when they come, then one team’s control of a game amounts to nothing. This happened a lot during the TBL-TOR series. TOR controlled much of that series, including games they lost, and still lost the series 4-3.

 

[BigJCy]

And we have another OT...Rangers vs. Canes on ESPN

This is pretty good to kick-off the Battle of Alberta:
