Bruins just won in the 30th minute of OT. Some game.

My bracket is busted, picked with the heart, I should have known from the world cup; usually pick favorites but some of my picks may still work out.

The guy just has a knack for coming up big in the post season, everywhere he’s been. Good thing the Caps PK was clicking, and hope someone reminds them they better not give the Leafs another 4 chances on the PP in front of their home crowd.

USA! USA! USA! USA!

My only interest now is keeping the Cup from the Hosers.

NBC right now.

Minnesota already behind 2-0 in the first period.
playoff hockey is the best.
better than NBA

3-3 now, and overtime, Wild are all the same in a slump and snakebit, I see STL taking this. Then, I don’t think the rest will be of help to Nashville; St. Louis has been playing very well all the same. The Wild have defeated the Blues in the playoffs I think the last two years at least; so, the Blues look good here.

playoff hockey is the best.

Especially in OT, when one team is on the brink of elimination. Last night's Double OT between the Bruins and the Senators was classic!

All of the teams have Canadians on them. I don’t quite have that attitude.

16 OT games in this first round so far, the record is 17; they said that during the game. It doesn’t seem like that many.

I had Chicago in the Finals so my bracket was done days ago.

Here at home we are doing it series by series with an extra point for number of games.

I had the Blues in 6. So I at least have a share of the lead with 3 points.

Blues have a good team; now I see TJ Oshie’s last name is Native American, he doesn’t look full blooded; but I’ve always enjoyed his play for team USA and when he was with the Blues, now he is with the Capitals. This game, both games later tonight should be good.

Oshie is the best Caps player on the ice by far.

That said, I can never get enough of watching Ovechkin score goals.

Yeah I know.

But there’s something to be said for maintaining a 24 year (or however long it’s been) streak!

That’s awesome. Even Doug Weight looks impressed.

I saw the Blues had about 4 or 5 Russians on their roster and a few of them were kicking some serious stuff out there.

Until when? 1985, 1990, we hardly saw Russians play; the NHL was jammed with Canadians and the Golden Jet, Bobby Orr and so on were all Canadians. I’m not for Canada either but I don’t really hold anything against them.

Bruins lose in OT.

Boston fans throw trash on the ice.

I guess they can’t blame Claude Julien for this epic fail.

Bruins fans did this before, even throwing projectiles at the NBC crew videotaping an interview. Bunch of babies.

Go Leafs Go!
