We were getting a wet, heavy snowfall here and I was quite happy that I made the switch away from satellite.

Ducks looking to take a 3-2 series lead against the Kings tonight. A lot can happen in 20 minutes, especially in the playoffs but Anaheim is looking good so far. 4-2 heading into the final period. Let's finish em off and end the series Wednesday in LA!

Don't know if it's legal, but I like both squads.

The Ducks seem to have caught lightening in a bottle with the rookie goalie, but the Kings have dropped 3 in a row and still won a series.

This one is far from done

I still can't believe LA came back after going down 3-0 to San Jose. I watched it happen but it still seems unreal. Poor San Jose.

Hawks need to close out tonight. Yes, game 7 would be in Chicago, but the Wild have made this series uncomfortable and at this point I wouldn't want to face them with all the marbles on the line.

Hawks win! All the credit to Minnesota, who played a great series (and second half of the season).

Kings or Ducks?

Hawks win - about the only time those words are acceptable on this site LOL.

As far as opponent, I don't have a preference. It will be an epic series regardless.

Kane is just plain dangerous. The Wild did the best job I have seen limiting him, but one bad bounce, a little open space and Kane makes a play.

Give Crawford credit. Minnesota ran into a hot goaltender. He gets zero love but he was our best player.

I'm definitely one of those people who like to throw a jab Crawford's way. Especially since he's my daughter's favorite player and she's always walking around in the jersey we bought her. But he was really amazing in this series and even the St. Louis one. I usually say he's good for one crappy goal a game, but you can't deny, when the chips are down, he usually shines. That game last night was amazing to watch. I kept thinking after the game that if I were a Minnesota fan I'd be ******. Crawford was standing on his head last night.

I'd say he's almost the sole reason the Blackhawks are moving on. Without him they probably lose in 6 to Minnesota.

I was ****** at Crawford early in the St. Louis series, but ever since Game 3 of that one, he's been nuts. Like he was whenever he needed to be last year.

On the road...
Not sure there is anything better than seeing Shitsburgh and Boston choke on back to back nights.
