And so ends another mundane first round in the NHL playoffs. The Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Islanders, Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes made it through to the next rount – just as everyone expected. Seriously – what an insane opening round. The sportsbooks now have the Boston Bruins as the favourites to take the […]
Just when you think you’ve seen all the surprises there is in the NHL playoffs….they whip up one more for us. The Vegas Knights were home and dry. 3-0 up with 10 minutes left in the game – anyone who took the Knights to win the series were already spending their money. Then that 5 […]
Just your typical night in the NHL playoffs last night, with yet another #1 seed being eliminated. The Dallas Stars went to overtime in a tight game where they beat the Nashville Predators and eliminated them from the NHL playoffs. The lone remaining #1 seed is the Washington Capitals and they got thumped 5-2. They’ve […]
Two games yesterday, and both games forced a Game 7. The Boston Bruins came to Toronto and left with a 4-2 victory. The Bruins deserved the win as the majority of the Leafs just didn’t put the effort in. A very frustrating one for Leafs fans. It was a crushing blow for the Vegas Knights […]
Another one bites the dust. After 3 disappointing home performances, the Winnipeg Jets stumble out of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs as the St. Louis Blues beat them 3-2. The Dallas Stars take an impressive 3-2 series lead back home after a fantastic 5-3 win over the Predators. It was business as usual in Washington […]
The Calgary Flames have been eliminated from the NHL playoffs! That’s two #1 seeds gone, and both showed very brief flashes of dominance then themselves got dominated.

An intense night of hockey last night. The Carolina Hurricanes made it 2-2 with an important 2-1 win over the Capitals. Things are going to be interesting in Game 5 as with the way the Hurricanes perform, it’s anyones game. The Blues/Jets series continued to favour the road teams with the Blues coming from two […]
Who would have thought that the headline story after 4 games in the Flames vs Avalanche series was “Mike Smith playing new levels of elite – and it doesn’t even matter”. Mike Smith has been in incredible form the last couple of games. 108 saves made in the two road games. Yet the Flames have […]
2 series are over with already in the NHL playoffs, as the Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins both got eliminated. Both teams were swept. The Tampa one was obviously a big shock but in retrospect, the Penguins one really wasn’t a surprise. While it’s a surprise that they got swept, this was a team […]
An excellent night in the NHL playoffs last night, as all four series end up at 2-1. The Toronto Maple Leafs – minus Kadri for the rest of the series – were able to put a dismal Game 2 behind them as they took the lead hearly in the 2nd and ended up winning 3-2. […]
