NHL hockey playoffs start tonight

The Penguins pulling the comeback would be epic. Oh how Philly fans would melt after getting swept by the Bs last year and choking with a 3-0 series lead this year.

That said, I'm not all that comfortable with the Bruins making it out of the first round.

WOOOOOO! Nasty goal by Seguin, drawing the goalie out just far enough beforepulling the trigger. Nice steal by Krejci to set it all up. Should be one hell of a game 7 on Wednesday.

NHL playoffs are the best playoffs in all of sports, can't beat the intensity of every game and the fact that any team can win on any night, no guarantees. Seems like every "expert" was picking the Penguins to win the stanley cup, and now they are out. Now hoping the Kings can finish off the Canucks tonite.

No one knows

The last 4 Cup Winners, 9 out of the last 11 in fact, have all lost in the 1st round of the following years playoffs. Heck Vancouver, a finalist last year and this year's President's Cup winners were out in the 1st round as well. When you win a Cup, you play 20-25 extra brutal games and have a short off season. It's no wonder there hasn't been a repeat winner since 1998.

More than any other league, the NHL has found a formula for parity. The teams are incredibly evenly matched such that what matters come playoffs is health and a hot goal tender.

The only disappointment I really have this year is that Lucic and Kreijci didn't show up in the playoffs. Lucic doesn't need to score, but he needs to be a physical presence on the ice and he really wasn't. Krejci is a horribly inconsistent player, so it's no surprise that he didn't show up.

Certainly going to be an interesting off season. I'm guessing Thomas gets shopped hard and the Tuukka era begins. Hopefully they pick up a veteran goal scorer with good hands around the net to play with Seguin. Alexander Semin would actually be a perfect fit.

Shocked that the Bruins are out, not that they won't repeat, but that they did not take that game last night. It is hard to repeat. Lots of surprises in this years playoffs. From a fans point of view I'm bummed the Bruins are out. As a Devil fan I have little confidence that we will pull off our own game 7 tonight, so I was looking forward to a Philly-Boston, New York-Philly, or best of all Boston-New York match up in the next 2 rounds. I hate to say it but I have little interest in the Nashville's, Florida's and Phoenix's of the NHL.

If the Devils win, we won't see the Rangers in the second round. It will be Philly unless Ottawa scores a stunning upset. Then we would get Washington with home ice. LETS GO DEVILS.
