Nashville forgot to show up for the game last night.

Nashville & Dallas both getting destroyed in a game 7. Don't know whats worse, losing it in 5 or going 7 and getting man handled.

If you are gonna lose I would rather lose like that.

Caps have it the worst, getting knocked out in back to back years by OT goals

Yup. Really thought this might be the Caps year. Rangers need to learn to play like poop in the beginning of the season and then kick ass going into the playoffs.

It's really all that matters. Whoever gets hot come playoff time is gonna win year after year. Why its not worth it to go all in for a presidents trophy. It means jack. Just get hot in May.

That's exactly how the Rangers seasons went when we made it to the SCF and ECF before this year

And this year we came out on fire and burned out

Didn't we start like 7-0 the year we missed the playoffs to Philly in the shootout?

Just shows how good the Pens are playing right now. I just don't see a Stamkos-less Lightning team beating them. Tampa is pretty quick, so possibly this goes 6 or 7 games.

Pens are good but Tampa has disposed of both of their opponents so far in 5 games each including 4 straight wins to eliminate the Isles. Both teams are incredibly hot right now.

I think it will come down to Bishop vs Murray.

I did too. I wanted a Caps/Blues series going 7 games with the Caps winning in double OT.
All in for the Blues, especially if Pitt makes it.

When Bishop is good, he is on, otherwise just big.

Blues Sharks should be really good series. Both those teams getting over huge organizational hurdles big time. SJ just looks a bit better to me all around and Pavelski is playing and talking like Messier did. He's some player

I know anything can happen in the playoffs, but the Lighting's road to where they are this postseason was far easier than the path the Pens had to take. Philly and then the Isles....Rangers then the Caps....Pens play against two top seeded teams has been impressive (only three losses in two rounds).

I could see a Pens sweep unfortunately

The Caps were a challenge for the Pens but we were absolute trash. Any opponent would have disposed of us in 5 games or less to be honest.

I think Rangers could have handled Florida in the first round.

Can't believe the NHL is passing on a Saturday night game this week. That is usually the prime time for them come this part of the playoffs. I thought for sure the Pens serious would start tomorrow and not a Friday night.

Florida would have beat the Isles if they could score an OT goal. I thought that series was an even 50/50 series. Isles got the OT goals so they moved on.

NBA playoffs. Could be a popular team (GSW)playing that night.

Then that's just crazy. Prime opportunity to showcase the league. Maybe the players get to drink beers on Saturday nights this time of year

I still think they peaked a little too early. Have to start playing great a month before, this way they peak in the SCF.

We need Tanner analytics to show us the proper time to start playing well.

Exactly what I was hoping for. Could root for either team, but want the Blues to win it.

I checked out that blog here for the Blue Jacket grading on their forwards. I understand fans love their teams, but those grades are crazy biased. I just don't see how such a piss-poor team has that many A's and B's given to their forwards.
