  Awesome body check, and it was unbelievable the guy was concious enough to try to find his way to the bench to help the Flyers.

  totally forgot about that game and hit...one of the best hits ever. Although, stevens taking out lindros and kariya were incredible hits too.

  You heard it here first: Rangers over the Caps in 7 (and yes, I am biased) ... just wish Callahan wasn't injured, but I guess Drury will have to step up bigtime, but the chances of this is 100% contingent on Lundqvist

  Rangers and Sabres could possibly upset the top 2 seeds.

  King Henrick needs to stand on his head for this one. Come playoff time i like to pick series based on goalies more than anything. My big upset pick is chicago over vancouver, i think it'll be closer than it is on paper

  Wings, Canucks, Caps, Pens and Preds all get wins last night.
• Raw Dawgin' it

  

  Ovies goal last night was garbage, thought the whistle should've been blown. Semins goal on the other hand was a canon, good too see him kick the post season slump.
  
  If MAF and Bobby Lou keep playing like this it will make for a couple short series ha

  One thing that killed the Rangers was that Torts had Staal play almost 35mins while the other defenseman averaged 22 mins.
  
  Torts can't to do that all series long.

  They were saying that on the broadcast too and then it was staals turn over that lead to the goal.

  Here's each defenseman's TOI:
  
  Gilroy- 16:22
  Girardi- 32:50 (Too much TOI)
  McCabe- 20:08 (For a #2 Dman this is too low)
  McDonagh- 27:02
  Sauer- 26:38
  Staal- 33:48

  Or the fact they played into MTL's system and got beat by a good goalie.

  Buffalo wins 1-0

  They're overrated! I'm sick and tried of hearing every hockey expert out there making them out to be the best thing since hot sliced bread. They're known for choking and they'll probably choke this series away too! Oh and I thought Tim Thomas was the best goalie in the East, maybe the league.......pfffttt!

  Yeah but recent history definitely defines that franchise.

  During the regular season he was the best. He recorded the greatest save % by any goalie in history.
  
  The problem they have is that they're not that great with Martin's system.
