great game 1's so far in the playoffs and some quick thoughts:
- TB showed some of its youth, but I expect them to bounce back in this series as Bishop has owned detroit in the past and TB looked nervous..>Detroit's been here plenty of times and showed their veteran approach to the playoffs...Datsyuk is a beast
- Montreal/Ottawa is going to be a crazy good series with all the physical drama goign on....it may not have been the hardest slash you experienced PK but a dirty play is a dirty play..wonder what retaliation we see tonight...both these teams lose second round
- Stl/Minnesota....3 goals under 1 minute? felt bad for the under backers yesterday but both these teams, if they can get out of round 1, can make noise
- Blackhawks, my fav to win the SC they are so good top to bottom and didn't take long for Kane to get going..Vermette was a healthy scratch too let that sink in for a bit as they traded a first rounder + pieces to get him...oh and Darling is the Crawford of a few years back, Q's got this team geared up!!
