NHL Playoffs

Just wanted to express how painful it is that Vegas has a team. Good grief the pregame show is annoying tonight.

Aside from that, go Wild, go Jackets and it sucks to be a Fliers fan tonight.

Was hoping the wild could pull it off tonight with those two quick back to back goals.. seemed like we ran out of gas and defense went down the shitter in the 3rd. Gotta get more shots on goal also.

I agree the pregame stuff in Vegas was stupid. I'm happy though the pens are off to a good start! Go PENS!!!!!

Sharks are goin' duck hunting tomorrow!!! Early duck season here in SJ.

Too bad Wild couldn't hold on. I don't think "prevent" defense works well in the NHL, especially not in the playoffs. They needed to get a lead and then keep the pressure on. I don't think they even had a shot in the last 2:30 when they had 6-7 offensive zone faceoffs. Dubnyk standing up Perreault was pretty funny.

I'm pulling for whomever comes out of the Jets/Wild series, but would be hard pressed to go against the Preds.

[Lapper]

I think the Wild played about as a good a game as they can and came up short. With as well as Dub’s is playing they will win a game or two at home but I don’t think they can win the series.

That Jets/Wild Game was amazing. By the grace of god we were able to score tickets and get my boy to his first NHL game. GO JETS GO!

[Lungdeflator]

Sweet! Except for the go Jets part

13 UND alumni in playoffs this year ...

Sharks went Duck hunting tonight and got 3! Evander Kane got the first 2 and Brent Burns got the third - all in period 2. SJ beat Anaheim 3 - zip in Anaheim to go up 1-0 in round one. Next game Saturday.

ps: I think that this was Evander's first playoff game and I know it was his first playoff goals. In the third period players were feeding him the puck when possible to try to get him a hat trick. Anaheim never pulled their goalie or Peter DeBore would have had him on the ice all the time. At the end of the game he skated to the game puck and took it for himself. Pretty cool. He has been a great addition to the Sharks since being traded from Winnipeg in February.

Sharks were Duck hunting again tonight and won 3-2 and come back to the Shark Tank up 2-0!!!

So I'm going out on a limb... Guessing no one's a Colorado avalanche fan ... Honestly I'm just happy we made it.... We played some amazing games this year
.. then some not so amazing games.... Would love to see a wild/Colorado matchup in the second round... Dosnt look like that will happen.... But Colorado has 2 home games now they could easily tie the series back up!

Go AVS Go!

Actually, what little hockey I watched in my life, was rooting for the Avs in the playoffs years ago.

I grew up watching the 2001 season and the two Stanley cup wins!!

wow what a game last night for the wild.. about time! everyone looked good and played well. had my doubts early on when the jets scored in the first 5 minutes of the game. lets hope Tuesdays game is a repeat for the wild.

[k9guy82]

Well for one I'm glad my hometown has a NHL team, let alone a pro team. Vegas has long been waiting for this. On that note.....GO KNIGHTS GO!!

Great game last night!
