It's funny, I'm back at home and was watching the games last night with my dad. He's in a pool at work and had loaded up on Capitals. After two periods he was cursing them out like crazy, and questioning all his picks. I had to tell him to relax. The playoff season is a long one.

I figured the Caps would find a way, but i gotta hand it to the Rangers they didn't look like an 8th seed. The Ducks crapped the bed last night, but i still think they will right the ship. After Emery came in the Ducks looked way more under control and they did have their chances against Rinne. Looking forward to the games tonight should be some good hockey. Not really surprised with Vancouver they looked strong against the Hawks.

I don't want to play the Habs anymore. Every year with this ****.

Canadiens 2-0 over the Bruins. I only caught the end of the game, but I'm sure it was great.

The series should be a good one. I'm surprised that the Bruins didn't get it done at home last night.

I'll be sure to catch the next game. I think this series could be really close, like it will probably go to game 7. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.

Sharks-Kings had me seriously tweaking.

Sharks dominated for the first period and a quarter, Kings mostly dominated the rest of regulation as the Sharks got sloppy... had me nervous.

Playoff officiating questionable as always- missed boarding/head hit from Stoll on White, and a soft roughing on Clowe. I'm sure they missed some calls the Kings way as well.

Andddd Pavelski continuing to be one of the most clutch performers in recent playoff history...
08: GWG, GWG, OT GWG
10: GTG 32 sec left, OT GWG, GWG, GWG, GTG
11: OT GWG

It's a shame most people slept through this (game over 1:30am Eastern).

I watched the entire game. The Kings can't play any better then that and they still lost, so any hope for them is feigning. Pavelski on the third line, what an embarassment of riches. You forgot Clifford getting beat down again. Stoll is gonna sit a game me thinks. That elbow was uncalled for. The kings are getting real thin at center.

Dear Fred,

The Kings are better than you advertise them. And the Sharks are better at rolling over in key moments than you give them credit for.

Sincerely,

Concerned Fan

Dear Concerned Fan, have some faith sincerely Joe Thornton. You guys are tied at 1-1 in a 7 game set, the sky isn't falling.
