Ovechkin on refs: "Not saying there was a phone call, but they wanted Game 7. For ratings. You know, lockout, escrow, league must make profit"

Your team scored 0 goals when it had a chance to advance. Time to enjoy golf.

Got Chicago, LA, San Jose, Pittsburgh right. Missed Ottawa, Detroit, and Washington. Was mere seconds from having Toronto right. Anyway...

Chicago over Detroit
LA over San Jose

Pittsburgh over Ottawa
NY over Boston

Chicago in 6 - Close enough
Anaheim in 6 - No comment
Vancouver in 7 - See above
LA in 7 - Almost

Pittsburgh in 5 - So close
Montreal in 6 - Meh
Washington in 7 - Credit for the right number of games?
Boston in 5 - Even as a neutral fan, this series made me nervous

Chicago in 7
LA in 6

Ottawa in 7
New York in 7

Which aisle is the game on? Is it with office furniture? On the back wall?

On nhl.com they are asking what the greatest playoff comeback ever is. The Sharks 4-goal comeback against LA isn't even a choice...

lets go pens!

That whole series was so frustrating. Looking back though that kings team was too inexperienced and didn't have the same kind of depth it has now.

That comeback was something though. I can't relax ever again with any lead. Of course that whole series was played after bedtime on the east coast so that could be the reason it wasn't listed.

The teams playing did get days off though.

But what I hate is how rushed round 1 is,but round 2 is spaced out abit more:

Leafs-Bruins:
6 games(game 2-7) in 10 days for Leafs-Bruins series

Round 2 of playoffs:
Sharks-Kings(5 games in 10 days)
Sens-Pens(5 games in 11 days)
Bruins-Rangers(5 games in 10 days,7 in 14)
Hawks-Wings(5 games in 11 days,7 in 15)

So Leafs-Bruins have 6 games in 10 days(including a stretch of 3 in 4 days) while 2nd round had 5 games in 10-11 days? NONE of which are back to back games.

Who knows if that extra day or two off would've made a difference in Game 7, cause it looks like everything imaginable that could ever go wrong in a game, happened. All within 10 minutes!

I kind of wish there was. Juggling baseball, NBA playoffs (though the Grizzlies are off tonight at least) and NHL playoffs is difficult.
