Tried watching Phoenix and the Blackhawks. The yotes played so defensively and boring I think I will skip the series until it gets closer to the end. Hawks get the puck, Pheonix clogs the ice, this was on repeat all night.

Congrats though Marks!

The desert dogs. there were also 4 other games I did not watch as i did not care about them.

It went to overtime though so the Blackhawks at least get a point, right?

That is so funny. I turned it off with 1:30 left and they tied it?

Shit, well I am glad I used my mind reading powers to know they would lose anyways. I am seriously dissapointed the series might be boring doe to defensive play of the coyotes. I might be switching my allegance to the Canucks and Predators.

Don't be hasty my friend. Series aren't decided by the first game. If that were the case, Vancouver would have won the cup last year. But being a a Coyotes fan, I can understand why you would think that. The Coyotes'  playoff run lasts for about two weeks, right?

I could listen to Jim Hughson's voice all day. The man exclaims as if there is a real crisis on his hands. Kevin Weekes, on the other hand, should really give up. It's laughable to listen to his colour commentary. Anytime he talks about a goalie, I literally roll my eyes. CBC after hours is just horrid with him as wel.

hahaha sorry man not this time around! I told you Chicago is goin down! It's too bad both our teams had to go get matched up in Round 1. 

Haha yeah I got excited, but the stats are in favour of the team to win first...to the tune of 70%. But honestly Luongo is shaky as fuck, but Jonny Quick is showing why he deserves to be called an elite tendy along with the likes of Lundqvist and Rinne. And this great goaltending, in combination with guys like Kopitar and Richards stepping up to actually get goals, LA will be unbeatable. 

Haha and yeah you got me there, I give you that. But we've been matched against the fucking Red Wings the last 2 playoffs so that's a tall order beating them. But we have a good shot this year against Chicago, especially since the Desert Dogs took game 1. 

Actually, you're wrong about that statistic (in this series).

Winning Game 1 on the road: These teams still have historically done well in the series, but their record isn't nearly impressive. They are, after all, still underdogs. Teams that have won Game 1 on the road have a 109-94 (.537) record in the series ... but when road teams do manage to win the first two games on the road, they have gone on to win the series more than 75 per cent of the time: 56-18 (.757).  Source

If the Kings win tonight, then the Canucks are in the hot seat for sure. The King's players are performing; scoring, playing defence, and killing penalties swiftly (that is seriously an aggressive penalty kill squad). Vancouver needs to step up their game, else be looking at a first round upset.

Surpringly, I felt that Luongo's game wasn't too far off from where it should be. The Richard's goal during the 5-on-3 powerplay was poor, but Luongo made a few timly saves and bailed out his sparactic defense. Quick is playing phemoninal, yet I feel that he will need to take his team deep into the playoffs(two first round exits in the past two years) to be considered an upper echelon goalie.

The surprisng fact about Los Angeles is that they can SCORE! They rank 29th overall, but for the last 3 months, they have scoring at quite the pace. I can see this series going their way, unfortunately. All depends on Vancouver's repsonse tonight.

What did I tell you boys, LA is going to take down Vancouver!

I also called Philly beating Pittsburgh. I honestly have no idea why almost every analyst had Pittsburgh beating Philly...and many even had Pitt winning the cup. Well Pitt just blew their home ice, and not many teams drop a 2-0 series lead...so looks like the so-called experts might be wrong.

And lastly, go Desert Dogs! They're gonna fuck up Chicago tomorrow.
