- What is up with the San Jose Sharks? I'm not saying this series is over 'til it's over, but still it does not look good for the boys in teal against a tough Ducks squad. If they cannot win three straight they will go down as bigger teases than the Canucks. This is a team that has never made it to the Stanley Cup Finals despite some great teams, and despite this year seeming like the year they change that trend. It now looks like it will be another disappointing spring for Sharks fans.
- If you have not yet seen this goal by Alex Ovechkin from last night's game, well, just watch:
- Rough end to the season for the Montreal Canadiens. I feel badly for Carey Price, who is only 21 but already getting blamed for the Habs' problems. I appreciate the passion of Habs fans, but booing your team and your goalie as they get swept does not show a lot of class in my opinion.
- Columbus Blue Jackets, fans on the other hand, were apparently amazing even as their team got swept by the powerhouse Detroit Red Wings. I was really hoping for a strong showing from the Jackets (let's ignore, for a moment, that I picked them to win this series) because their fans have waited a long time for the team's first post-season berth and have been apparently very rabid all year. Still, they gave the team a classy send off last night and the players returned the favour with a salute to the fans:
- Right now I am very impressed by the Boston Bruins, who outmuscled and outscored the Habs to totally dominate the series. And man, do I wish that Milan Lucic was on the Canucks! I'm thinking that right now the Bruins look like a very good bet to come out of the East.
