Really looking forward to the Pit vs CBJ series. People bring up Pit losing Letang but they got to where they are today without him in half of the games anyways. They went out and improved their D at the deadline and if they can get a few guys healthy that are close to being ready, then they will still be deadly. Should be a really good one and I'm pretty happy that they are playing on opposite days than the Hawks/Preds.

So ... how are the Caps going to fuck it up this time? Or will they actually put it all together finally? Seems like it's now or never.

Looks like every Canadian team lost tonight. Toronto is not gonna change that streak.

Fuck the Penguins.

Apparently Calvert is not getting suspended for this and I have no idea why not.

So ... Toronto, eh?

Ouch.

The photo of what Werenski's face looks like right now is in spoiler tags below. It's not pleasant.

I say again:

Sucks that Pit/Wsh meet up at this point instead of the Conference Finals. However...NHL has to just be thrilled that this matchup is happening. Going to be some great hockey on TV and I for one don't care how much they play up the Crosby vs Ovechkin "rivalry". Two of the top teams in the league and two of the top players in the league going at it...let's just hope it manages to go 7 games somehow.
