Ottawa took out my Habbies, but Pitt? Only if Anderson stays hot.

18. "Ottawa wins game 3: 2-1 in 2OT" |
Ottawa was 30 seconds away from being down in the series 3-0 but Daniel Alfredsson scores short-handed to push the game into OT where it was eventually won by Colin Greening's goal. Is there anything Alfredsson hasn't yet done for this team? With every big goal like that one, I think, maybe, just maybe that'll be enough to put him in the Hall of Fame.Spezza played his first game since the fifth game of the season for Ottawa. His ice-time was pretty limited: 4 mins in the 3rd, 3 mins in the first OT. I think that's a wise move. Karlsson played better, I only watched from the 3rd on but I did see a number of good takeaways including one from Crosby. However, he did make some pretty significant mistakes too and his reputation for being a diver kept a couple of fairly blatant calls from being called against him. (that is, he should probably have drawn 2 penalties but I can't really fault the refs for that. He'll just have to play through until he can't shed that label). Anderson played exceptionally well. His best game of this series. Props to Crosby for one play in particular that I commented on when I saw it. I think it was late in the 3rd, Crosby dives to take away the point shot and then from the ice has the presence of mind to push the puck with his stick beyond the blue line.

13. "Game 1: Boston wins 3-2 in OT" |
Despite starting three rookie defensemen, including one making his playoff debut who was just called up yesterday (Torey Krug -- total experience in the NHL = 3 games), the Bruins won yet another OT game.

19. "Game 2: Boston wins 5-2" |
Bruins D Torey Krug, he of the three total NHL games before game 1 of this series (in which he scored), had a goal and an assist in Game 2. The three rookie defensemen played so well that Zdeno Chara finally got to play less than 30 minutes, which is great, because even Superman gets tired.

Boston's fourth line produced both Boston goals, including the game-winner with 3:31 to play. Amazing.

Chicago looks to be doing their part towards the Chicago-Pitt final many of us expected. (LA might have something to say about that)

Wow. Detroit has seized a 3-1 lead in the series and just needs one win to take out the Black Hawks.

40. "RE: Game 7 - is there NO justice?" |
You're kidding, right? The play got waived dead before the goal was scored, and there was a no-call right before that away from the scrum that the Hawks got away with. Waiving off the goal was absolutely the right call.

44. "RE: Game 7 - is there NO justice?" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-30-13 AT 05:27 PM (EST)What fight? That just looked like an old-fashioned mugging. Like Pepe, when I saw the replays, I was stunned that someone who at one time had been the NHL's director of officiating (Stephen Walcom) had called offsetting penalties and not just called a delayed penalty against the Wings, which would have permitted the goal to count. Although I agree with Zoidberg that once the penalty was called, it had to wipe out the goal, no matter how close in time the score was to the penalty, it just looked to me like Walcom didn't have the guts to call the play correctly and perhaps be responsible for a Wings loss. Bwak. Bwak. Bwak. Edited to add: Do you think part of the reason that he originally retired from on-ice refereeing was a lack of guts when making hard calls? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Walkom

Quick looks as good as he did last year. No wonder the Kings gave him a 10-year deal.

Hey, if I ran the Kings, I'd have made the deal. Sure, he could get injured or become ineffective, but that can happen to anyone at any time.

15. "Game 2: LA wins 4-3" |
Kings get a 2-man advantage with under 2 minutes to play and a 3-2 deficit. After a 28 second spurt, the teams were at even strength and the Kings were up by the final score. Ouch.

You know, San Jose is an enormously talented team that always has failed in the clutch, which is why I didn't pick them to do anything this year in the playoffs. It would be nice to see them shed that label.

30. "Game 5: LA wins 3-0" |
Quick was just too quick. No falling on his butt while a slow-motion shot creeps past into an open goal, like Tuukka Rask. No failing to react when the other team gains control behind then net and then is able to stuff it in, also like Rask. In fact, no Rask impressions at all from Quick, who tossed a shutout at the Sharks.

So each of the East series wrapped in 5 games, while both the West series went to Game 7.
