Looks like the zebras have been told to crack down on anything that could get out of hand. Watching the first of the Caps - Bruins game, and there was a minor scrum in the corner after a whistle. The officials immediately went to both benches and appeared to read the riot act to both coaches.

Two great games last night! Ottawa/Rangers had to be a bit of a heartbreaker for the Sens, I thought they deserved it but do not free that Lunqvist stood on his head near as much as the announcers thought. He was great, sure, but not epic. He's beatable if you can get past the throng of bodies first.
I only saw the last few minutes of the Bruins/Caps game so I can't comment much but it must be horrible to lose on a shot tipped by your own D. Lucic playing with his hate face on always warms my heart and Ovie seems to have calmed his goal celebrations a bit and looks focused.
I notice that the suspensions and fines are starting to be dished out to the Pens now, which is good. Don Cherry was defending Crosby's play, and I disagree, but perhaps Don is on to something in saying that this is just how he's going to play.
Thought the refs were a little inconsistent in the Ottawa game but not enough to decide the outcome.

Do you honestly think it'll help? I take some joy in seeing both Vancouver and Pittsburgh down 3-0 when the TSN "experts" predicted a Vancouver Pittsburgh final! Proof that TSN's "experts" don't know much about playoff hockey. 8)

Nobody predicted the baseball scores of the Flyers/Pens series. When your team is scoring 4-5 goals a game, they shouldn't be down 3 games.
Vancouver losing to LA was called by a lot of sports reporters, just no one expected it to be this close to a sweep. Quick is hot in goal, and Vancouver plays in a very weak division giving them an easy shot at the conference lead every year until Calgary and Edmonton step it up.

Which makes me wonder how that will bode for the Jets if they're moved to the Northwest - although we won't have to worry about that for at least another year.
Either way it's quite a change from the Smythe days of the 80s, when that whole division was fairly strong.

Shared with the usual caveats:

I am done with the Hockey News just as soon as my subscription expires. I am sick and tired of one sided reporting - and by that I mean on both sides of the debate. Unfortunately THN seems to only spout off about one side.
I found it hilarious, a few months ago, when, opposite to Ken Campbell's usual whining diatribe about the need for no fighting in the game, there was an advert for the movie "Goon" Irony at its best.

The Jets played very well at home this year, less so on the road. IMO they need another centre, first/second line and a good solid stay at home defenceman. Pavelec was great in net for the most part, with Mason as a capable back up.
The arena (MTS Centre) is judged to be one of the loudest buildings in the NHL. The crowd can be intimidating and can give the team a boost.
OK enough - how about them Coyotes?

Yep, the Jets did well and were over .500, but their road game needs work.
Seems like NYR could be in the final four, but I wouldn't place bets as to who will take the cup this year. Before last weekend, I would have said Pittsburgh could do it.
