I like the Rangers to win the cup this season. Pittsburgh doesn't have the defense to hold off that relentless attack New York has, they are just so strong on the puck. Hoping the Red Wings can make a little run in the postseason

I'm hoping my Wings take them out in the first round so I didn't go with Tampa. Red Wings one big hope is that Datsyuk is fully healthy for this series, Detroit has 4 lines now with great center play that are needed to win

Ottawa/Montreal 2nd period has been insane.

Chicago Nashville is a game. Nashville went up 3-0 at home it's now 3-3 beginning of 3.

I'm rooting for the Preds til they lose; no real reason why. Only NHL game I've ever been to was CBJ in Nashville. Seth Jones is gonna be a boss.

Idk how the fuck Detroit won that game. Played like absolute shit, outshot by 32 and somehow won. I will see all 3 goals were beauts though but they have to sustain some offense in this series if they want to win 4 games

Datsyuk is how they won. Glad to see the pens lose. Some quality hockey ongoing.

The dominoes should start falling today to make this a reality. The Springfield Falcons (current CBJ AHL team) are making a "major announcement" around noon, which is likely to be a mutual separation with CBJ one season before the end of their contract, and a new contract with Arizona.

From there, CBJ moves to Lake Erie (LEM and Colorado also have one year left but either side can end it this season), and Colorado aligns with San Antonio, who is currently in need of an affiliate and is a little closer to Denver for them anyway

Yeah Wiz being small would be a tough matchup against the jets.

Even though we lost game 1 I'm optimistic going into game 2. The only way the Rags score is off the rush they can't sustain pressure in the offensive zone. The Pens adjusted their game plan and hit the forecheck hard and went as far as they could in the blue paint on Lundqvist. The key to beating Lundqvist is to play physical against him he fucking hates it and to go short side high or glove high. Repeat what they did in periods 2 and 3 and game 2 should be closer. Ehrhoff and Pouliot should be back.

WPG/ANA has been amazing tonight. One of the best crowds I have ever seen, very comparable to what will happen should the Browns ever host a playoff game. Hoping the Jets win in OT

...Rangers needed a big road win last night and got it. Nice job the Ranger defense to block a good amount of shots in front of Hank.

Pekka Rinne just absorbed the puck somehow. Vanished in his gear for a good 5 minutes.

That loss last night hurts. Detroit dominated the first two periods and missed 3 easy goals which came back to get them. I think all higher seeds win
