I have paid almost zero attention to 5 of the 8 series going on. Watching the 1 vs 8 series and the Caps/Rangers mostly, I'm barely aware of all the other series. I especially need to start watching the LA/St. Louis series because it's been good tight hockey and I saw basically none of them this season. I have a feeling West champ will be coming out of that match up.

Blues/Kings has been some of the best hockey I've watched in the playoffs. Tonight was the first game of Ottawa/Montreal I really saw, haven't seen any of Boston/Toronto either but the rest I've been keeping up on. I think Blues/Kings could go 7 with a couple more OT games and all of them pretty tight.

The Canucks have never been the same since 2010. Unfortunately, they're gonna be stuck in a SJ cycle of regular season awesomeness but underachieving in the playoffs.
The irony is the fact that it's SJ who's more than likely gonna eliminate us.

SJ owned that third period so fucking hard. I'm going to game 4 and i'm psyched. This team looks purdy good right now...
Oh, and Kessler can suck a bakers dozen of dicks.
Oh, and it was glorious when Henrik took that incredibly dirty hit on Cooter and Cooter went and scored on the ensuing power play. Justice.

I don't care much about Canucks or hockey nowadays, but anyone who thinks Schneider is even a shred as good as Luongo needs to go to hell. Fuck naw son. I hope Canucks trade away Luongo to a good team so he has a chance at winning the cup.
as far as i remember Luongo is a bitch and I'm unsure why anyone would root for him.

Luongo has been on good teams and was the weak link. Why would anyone want a mentally weak goaltender with an albatross contract?

No suspensions out of the Ottawa/Montreal shitshow last night. Not sure how Bourque doesn't get suspended for a blatant elbow to the head. This is essentially the same play that put Nick Backstrom out for 40 games last year with a concussion. Glad Conacher was okay.

I love how so many people covering the Rangers or Rangers bloggers continue to belittle Holtby. I completely understand the narrative that the Rangers have what would seem to be an edge in goaltending based on Lundy's career, but to act like the gap is as big as they are is hilarious. Strang pumping Lundy as the reigning Vezina winner gave me a chuckle...Tim Thomas can tell you how Holtby treats reigning Vezina winners.

I know Holtby himself gave major credit to the D but I'd say one goal in two games is proof enough.

To say nothing of his numbers last year in 14 games...or his career numbers to date. Now a lot of young goalies start out hot, but he's starting to get to that range when we'll see what their true level might be projected out over their career. Here's hoping he keeps it going.
