If the Canucks can't come back tonight and in this series, this could be one of the most epic playoff failures in NHL history when you factor in the Cup finals last year.

Who's in a bigger s***storm: Pittsburgh or Vancouver?

Well considering I thought a Pens/Canucks Finals would happen, and picked accordingly in all of my playoff pools, I am in a pretty big s*** storm myself.

Yeah I have to agree hopefully we could win the next 2 at home

LA honestly feels like they have more talent. I know that's partly from Van's guys not playing up to their standards, but man LA has a lot of guys. Easily one of the most stacked 8th seeds I've seen. I think Terry Murray just f*cked up their swag for half a season by making them play so restricted offensively

Boston kept pushing the pace, scored on a slow poke check from Holtby.

Washington takes one in Boston. With 43 saves, the legend of Holtby is growing.

two straight games Coyotes where just 12 seconds and 5 seconds away from winning in regulation and blew it. :(

And on the flip side, holy Lord am I exhilarated. A game like that can flip a series around.

The Hawks probably have more firepower than any other team when they can put 6 guys on the ice. The Pens are close but they dont have that 2nd high-end defenseman to compliment Letang.

Detroit has dominated the entire 3rd period and one miscue burns them.

LOL at Fleury. Guess 5 GAA and 80% Save % isn't bad enough. Going to try for even worse.

20 goals in three games. Pittsburgh is also scoring at a high rate but their defence and goal keeping is failing them.

So the Laker game ended at 3:30 PT. Canucks-Kings is slated to start at 7:30 PT.

You can add Flyers to that list as well.

When you considering cleaning up the basketball floor, getting all the extra seats and tables off, then the plywood, then resurfacing the ice, that takes longer than you'd think. Especially since the building opens probably an hour before the game.
