The Wild definitely outplayed the Hawks today and deserved to win. The game wouldn't have even went into OT if the Wild didn't try to "protect the lead" in the 3rd period. That victory in Game 1 game sure looks important now.

The [I wont even attempt to spell his name] player on detriot's suspension is bullshit. 2 games when the guy head hunts? when the day before you suspend someone 2 games for a good hit. he should have gotten 4 if the Ottawa player got 2

Definitely a much more physical game on the Wilds part. Although I picked the Wild to win, I'm not actually expecting it to happen but I'm happy to see they aren't letting the Blackhawks walk all over them like everyone said they would. Here's to hoping for a Tuesday win!

Canucks are out.

Good for me.

I know this is late but congrats to the Red Wings for making into the Stanley Cup playoffs 22 years in a row.

down 2-1 in the series but are still in it. However, one of their players got suspended 2 games for a vicious illegal hit to the head.

So there has been some great hockey so far. But nothing matches the Montreal-Ottawa game last night so far. The only blemish for Craig Anderson and company and it was hilarious. Not to mention the Brawl. Got it on youtube.

Anyways, the Mild got a lucky win. Though at least it is more exciting series now.

The Canucks are like the Denver Nuggets one and done.

Also, note the team that beats the Canucks usually wins the cup. San Jose I say no fucken way, but it is tradition.

Loungo has to start game 4 right? I means game 3 Schnieder gets pulled with 5 goals and Lou only gives up 5 in two games during regulation.

What a pathetic situation the Canucks put themselves in concerning goaltending

Yeah, I mean without an official starter there is no time to get hot. I swear Vancouver fans put so much pressure on the goalie they have a bad impact. Loungo does good temporarily he is a hero, one bad game and cut off his balls. They better just stick to one.

Also, Detroit almost out.

Too early to write off the Red Wings the series is now tied at 2 a piece probably will go to a game seven.  Also their 22 years in a row of making the playoffs is more then twice as long as the team in the second place which is the San Jose Skarks which made it 9 years in a row that is current streaks and 5th longest all time streak behind the Bruins 29 years, Black Hawks 28 years, Blues 25 years and Canadiens 24 years in a row.
