The third shutout in four games for Skinner. Incredible! After all the flack he takes, it is nice to see. The Stars had their chances too. The Oilers have now tied the series up and can take home ice advantage. There’s something about a goalie redemption arc that is always so awesome to see. Tonight […]
Weeelllll….the Carolina Hurricanes look like they are in said deep, deep trouble. No shame in losing – but the way it has happened two games in a row now? Yikes. They need a miracle to turn things around. Thankfully in hockey, a “miracle” just means a goaltender getting hot – and Freddie HAS proven himself […]
It was quite the opener for the Oilers-Stars series yesterday. The Oilers had a 3-1 lead going into the third period, and they looked – I think the word would be comfortable. Stars hadn’t looked like they were threatening at all, and if anything it looked like the Oilers were going to pile on. They […]
The Carolina Hurricanes didn’t get off to an ideal start, as they got absolutely blasted by the Florida Panthers. 0-13 in the ECF and you have to wonder how much that will weight on them. That’s a big mental block that they’ll be anxious to overcome in Game 2. Goaltending was going to be a […]
Well the Toronto Maple Leafs exited the playoffs by getting absolutely destroyed by the Panthers. Although they may have a fair amount of legitimate complaints from the first two games, there are no excuses for how it all played out – particularly Game 5 and 7. They’ve tried everything else; time to break up that […]
The Dallas Stars made it to the next round of the NHL playoffs, with a 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets in OT. It was an intense one, and despite the loss, very nice to see Scheifele get that goal. We now move on to the final game of this round, as the Toronto Maple […]
The Leafs live another day! It was a poor performance from Florida, who had a chance to wrap the series up at home, and now they have to go to Toronto in a critical Game 7. If Marchand breaks their hearts man….. Much to the chagrin of many Leafs fans, their captain stepped up (and […]
Ah c’mon Capitals; you couldn’t have held on those extra two minutes? Lost me a juicy OT bet. Oh well I won the series prediction at least, as the Hurricanes blasted by the Capitals. They do seem a special team this season – there’s just something about them. The Jets had a BIG performance to […]
It was an absolutely shocking performance from the Leafs yesterday, as they got blasted by the Panthers 6-1 – at home – in a critical playoff game. They now have to go to Florida, where they lost twice, and get the victory. Based on last nights performance – that team is just absolutely done. People […]
Well I guess Granlund WAS due. I went with over 1.5 SOG and he goes out there and gets himself a hat trick. Very impressive. Dude is clutch. That looks like the Jets are toast, unfortunately. Stars are one of those teams that – I dunno – I just find it hard to see them […]
