The two home teams won their games last night as the Boston Bruins beat the Blue Jackets 4-3 and the San Jose Sharks beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2. Just the one game today and we could see the Dallas Stars progress to the next round if they beat the St. Louis Blues. Here’s our thoughts: […]
The Carolina Hurricanes have made it to the next round of the NHL Playoffs, and they wrapped it up with ease. A huge 5-2 win over the New York Islanders forcing the Islanders to change goalies – what a miserable time for Islanders fans. The hard working Hurricanes deserve to go on and who knows […]
Both series got tied up yesterday, as the Boston Bruins thumped the Blue Jackets 4-1 and the Avs beat the Sharks 3-0. The Bruins came out fired up as Graeme predicted and went up 2-0 early which set the tone of the game. Grubauer picked up his first ever playoff shutout in the Avs crucial […]
Wow – how about those Carolina Hurricanes? With Mrazek out they conceded the goals – two to be exact – but it didn’t matter as their offense did the job. It was a tight game but the Hurricanes are an absolute workhorse and ended up running out 5-2 winners. Hard to see those Islanders coming […]
Another tight game in the Jackets vs Bruins series, with the Columbus Blue Jackets taking a 2-1 lead. Bobrovky set a new career high save percentage in that one for the playoffs, with .973. Impressive stuff. In the Sharks vs Avs game, Couture scored a hat trick as the Sharks ran out 4-2 winners in […]
Just the one game last night and it was a hard fought game between the St. Louis Blues and Dallas Stars. An explosive third period put the game over – which Graeme had bet/tipped – and the Blues continue their excellent record of winning road games in the playoffs. It was a thrilling game and […]
A massive momentum switch yesterday saw the New York Islanders go down 2-0 at home to the Carolina Hurricanes. They now have to head to the PNC arena where the Hurricanes are 3-0 this year in the playoffs. They had the disallowed goal that seemed to affect both teams mentally – Islanders in the negative, […]
Two excellent results in the NHL playoffs yesterday as both series go to 1-1. Very possible we see both of those go to Game 7s. Blue Jackets vs Bruins – man. The goaltending on display in that game. Unreal. And if there’s one series you should watch it’s that one. Just some vintage playoff hockey […]
Last night we saw a very tight game between the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Islanders. Both goalies logged 31 saves but Lehner was the one beaten in overtime. Will be interesting to see if Mrazek can keep that performance level up. The Sharks blew the Avs away 5-2 in a big game. Have to […]
The second round of the 2018/2019 NHL playoffs got off to a solid start with two tight games. And hey – both favourites won!!!! Can’t beat that! The Bruins defeated the Blue Jackets 3-2 in overtime, and the Blues beat the Stars 3-2. Tarasenko looked amazing out there and a hot Tarasenko could spell real […]
