Congratulations on winning your 4th Cup Penguins. And great season Sharks. Hell of a run by them.

Happy Birthday Bolts

Until the last few minutes that was a damn close game. Could have gone either way, but I'm glad the Sharks took that. On to Game 6!

Happy Birthday Dmac!

Pretty much this, and the fact Crosby was touted as "the best player in the game" for most of his career. A ton of fans got sick of hearing this as a result and started slamming the Penguins at every chance they get. My picks: ECF: Pens in 5 or 6 WCF: Toss up for me.

Sure, let's go with that Blues-Sharks in the WCF. Gonna be a fun one!

*points at scoreboard* *ahem*

What a heartbreaker for the Isles. Played a good game but couldn't seal the deal. And as for St. Louis: statement made. Dallas's flaws really showed up tonight.

Tells it like it is. Preds need to wake up or they're cooked. Repeated the same mistakes they made in game 1.

Well they actually got something right for once. BTW Roenick is absolutely hilarious during intermission. Saw him glare at Milbury a lot

For Orpik's part he accepts the ban and admits the hit was late and essentially stupid. Yeah I'm not a fan of him either. NBC continues to hire a lot of poor play-by-play guys. Only good things coming out of that coverage are Roenick and Emrick. I wouldn't read too much into that. It's those people's loss that they miss out on this series.

Picked up my level 100 event Darkrai today. I never had him before as I couldn't get the event item needed in Gen IV to access Newmoon Island.

And with the first pick of the 2016 NHL Draft the Toronto Oilers... I mean Edmonton Maple Leafs... I mean TORONTO Maple Leafs select...

Preds better get some more goals if they want to win. Played the Sharks tough, but San Jose was tougher.

That's true. It's more likely he would have been gone before this year if they had another 1st round loss instead of the WCF trip. What makes it harder IMO is that the previous two cup winners were eliminated early this season, and the Ducks had a golden chance. BTW great win by the Capitals last night. My biggest fear was that there would be a mild letdown, but they came to play for sure. Oshie played out of his mind last night

Least surprising move to me. I was more amazed Boudreau stayed after last season. I guess the Ducks FO wanted to see if he could get past the hump and gave him one more shot, which obviously didn't pan out. To be fair, though, I blame the players as well. Blowing 3-2 series leads and losing at home 4 years in a row like that can't all be laid at the coach's feet.

As long as the Capitals advance, I hope the rest of the series is just as good too. I'm actually hoping for a Caps-Isles ECF. THAT would be crazy.

2nd round pick time: Capitals over Pens in 6 or 7 Isles over Lightning in 6 Blues over Stars in 7 Sharks over Predators in 7 Changed the Blues-Stars prediction as I think St. Louis can also take advantage of suspect defense and goaltending.

Thank you for the hard work in keeping TGP going. I'll get those tickets to your favorite vacation spot ASAP.

https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-playoffs-round-2-schedule/c-280468316?tid=280202816 Three days between the first two games of Isles-Bolts

1st round ends with Ducks-Preds game 7 at 10 PM and Round 2 starts with Isles-Bolts at 7 PM Both games are on Wednesday. Rest of it is TBA.

And all it cost them was 5 PPGs allowed in a 6-1 smashing. Great job Philly fans. But yeah that was a rare call. It's happened before, but I can't recall when.

Happy Birthday Bware!

They deserved that beatdown. No excuses for their behavior.
