Not only did they beat the 1st and 2nd seeds, they dominated them.

Yeah, these series haven't even been close.

Will be interesting to see if Shanahan has the nuts to suspend Giroux a game. Definitely targeted the head, and it was late.

It was worthy of a game suspension. I'll be extremely disapointed in Shanny if he doesn't suspend him.

The Flyers have really fallen apart in the second round.

Joel Ward just lost that game for the Caps. What a stupid play.

I was watching the game on mute on my laptop. WTF was that play all about? I would give him a fine.

I have no clue. All I know is that there were 30 seconds left in that game and the Caps were in control of that game.

If things hold in Phoenix, we are in for a hell of a goalie battle in the Western Conference Finals.

And late nights for us on the right half of the continent, too.

Mike Smith seems like he is 7'0" tall, 5'0" wide.

And there is a goal, finally. Do the levees break now? Likely not, I think this game will end 3-1 with an empty netter.

I don't like the Caps, but I thought they would win this series. Doesn't look like it now. Too bad, too, because Ryan Callahan is one of my new favourite players to watch in the league.

Coyotes Kings is going to be a great series. The two hotest goalies in league going mono e mono.

A big high-five to anyone who predicted Kings/Yotes in the WCF. I think LA has to like their chances right now.

Volchenkov just got murdered by Rinaldo. That was definitely payback for Volchenkov's earlier hit on Schenn.

I don't think Bryzgalov could stop a beach ball.
