Vancouver eliminated early.  Buffalo and Edmonton comebacks...  Never a dull moment!  Anaheim and St Louis played in this round last year.  We all know what happened.  Can St Louis slay the dragon???

Anaheim is going to have the games played advantage against me this week. 90% of my skaters have the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday schedule which will take away my depth advantage. Should be a good matchup!

I would like to call for a rectal exam on Tyler.  I firmly believe he has a horseshoe and even more likely a gerbil up there..  but mostly concerned about the horseshoe

Congrats, Jean!

Wow, that was a gut punch.  I'm going to crawl under my desk, curl up and sob quietly for a bit before I face my workday.

A high scoring playoff week there resulted in some records being broken and tied.

The Blues now have the highest scoring non-finals playoff week ever with 241.8 points last week.  They tied the record for assists with 33, and shots with 179.

The Sabres tied the record for goalie wins with their 6-1 record.

Thanks Dan

I took the day off to celebrate :toast:

It was a unbelivable fight until the last minute. The difference was in the choice of goalies for Sunday. Price instead of Murray or Quick and you would be in the semi-finals instead of me.

Sabres tied the old playoff record for goalie wins. Anaheim and Detroit both had 7 goalie wins in the first round of the playoffs this year in their upsets over Carolina and Boston.

Have a few for me!

Yeah, the darn interwebs gave me the impression Montoya was going to start rather than Price on a back-to-back, so I went with Murray and Quick and came up empty.  Oh well, that's the way the puck bounces.  Good luck to your :BUF-NHL: the rest of the way!
