I would think Sid's two game scoreless and shot less skid might be a bit more of a concern than how the Rangers were doing. Guess I was wrong.

Nah, going incorrect first and last name would be overkill.

Well they have been the best team in the east for a couple seasons now, I think expectations should be high....unlike my Oilers and what appears now to be a bubble team in your Penguins.

My hopes are higher than the daily morning donut tower at the Kessel residence.

Please don't Say Girardi struggles. The Yotes blogger(Tanner) is his biggest fan(ever) and won't tolerate the negative remarks towards him!

Off to a great start! You guys look to be firing on all cylinders. And play an entertaining style to watch as well!
Hawks/Rangers would be a great final!

After winning the presidents trophy last year, having a great regular season isn't going to change us. We know it only matters come playoff time. Not our first rodeo lol

I will keep that in mind. However, it's unlikely to sway my desire to be fair and balanced. Calling out the good and the bad when deserved. 😀

As long as the Rangers get there, don't really care who they face.

Rangers vs St.Louis would be good hockey as well.

As an Oilers fan I hate those Jabroni's .....and Tyler Seguin is a douchebag.

What is your take on Chase Utley Jan? I am a life long phillies fan so this whole situation is drawing me back in to the playoffs

Not as much fun as seeing the myriad of excuses Penguins fans make after a loss.

Had to go there didn't you? It's fine. Let me preface by saying that despite him being a Philly, I actually have been a Utley fan and think he is a borderline Hall of Famer.

The slide/tackle was late. In my opinion, per the rules and the decision that was handed down yesterday, it should have been ruled interference and a double play. I disagree that the throw took away the neighborhood play, allowing the review and overturned force, because as seen by the replay, the throw was right by the bag. In addition, despite the angles, I have seen, I don't know if Utkey could have reached back and touch the bag, due to the lateness of the hit and where it took place.

I don't believe there was intent to injure. But in this case, intent shouldn't matter match. It seems to be a clear violation of a rule that should be enforced more but isn't. The hit on Kang by Coghlan also should have been punished but wasn't, but two wrongs don't make a right.

I think the league suspended him to avoid a media circus and possible on field incident. Now, how the heck can you not have a hearing before Wednesday? This has become more of a farce.

I hope Harvey shuts out the Dodgers as does Matz and the Mets win the series. Get revenge by winning, Retaliation can come in the future.
