That's what people said about the Hawks. I'm still holding out for the Blues in the finals.

Twitter user went viral detailing his first hockey game via live updates. Now he's got free tickets to the next round.
Wish I'd thought of that first.

The Caps beat the Pens in OT tonight and I was very pleased, especially since T.J. Oshie nabbed a hat trick this evening!

I miss my Teej...
Brouwer worked out okay for you guys in game 7, no? I think the Osh for Brouwer trade was a win for both teams. You guys got a quality player in Brouwer. Definitely bitter-sweet for the folks in Washington.
Hope we see a Blues/Caps final. Our mailman is a die-hard Blues fan....

Y'know, I've never been a big hockey fan, but with the Blues having a shot at it this year I'm starting to watch a bit more. I'm hoping they can get it together and beat the Sharks.

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.
Grotsnik Corp. Sorry, No Refunds.

The only stake I have left in this race anymore is seeing the Blues crash and burn. So go Sharks!

Booo. Maybe I should break in the deadthing's locker room and pee on Datsyuk's jersey.

Was a fan of it in Game 4 as the Blues were spectating too much around Elliot than playing defense.
We're going back to Elliot tonight.
I'm not hopeful that the Blues will win the next two games... Man the Sharks are good.

I personally want to thank the Leafs for giving up on Kessel. The guy was a total beast in the playoffs and the HBK line dominated throughout the playoffs. The Pens started out slow this season and people around here where calling for the GM head. Amazing how a coaching change and a style of hockey that worked for the players turned the team around.
