Much better result this time! I was worried that stinker was going to end up leading to a comeback but Tampa didn’t let it happen.

Quick in 2012 was pretty damn close! 16-4, winning the first three games of all four series including a sweep of St. Louis. Not bad for a team that secured the 8th seed in the last game of the season! But I completely digress - I just haven't seen such a dominant run in the NHL in a long time, if ever.

What a great game 2! It’s crazy how much better western conference hockey is to watch.

This series has definitely delivered so far!

You aren’t being grilled. It was a perfectly fair request when somebody makes a statement like that.

Lightning in 6

Going with Winnipeg in 7. I honestly think this will be the best series of the playoffs.

I'm calling another sweep.

Going Pittsburgh in 5. They're just on too much of a roll.

That's kind of what got me here as well. After wasting way too much money on skates that felt great in the store but hurt like hell on the ice I finally found the Mako, which to this day is very comfortable. When I switched to goalie I had some cheap Reactors just to try the position. Once I committed, since there was no Mako goalie skate, I said screw it and went straight for VH. Ended up being the right decision. I also didn't have to put a silicon sleeve on my big toe anymore like I had to do with the Reactors (and every other skate I've worn except the Mako and VH).

What a crap ending to a great series.

His are some of the most obvious, too.

Yup, that's how I read it too.

Having to heat them up to open them up a bit is a common thing. There’s even a video about it from VH on YouTube. It’s normal and expected.

Looks like the Capitals get another chance to finally beat Pittsburgh. I don’t see it happening.

Wow what a great game. Off to Boston!

I got a kick out of Crosby's comments after the game: "Those things were full. What a waste."

That game was great for the first two periods but then they went into some kind of poorly executed defensive mode which was not exactly a good idea. Freddy was the difference and glad they were able to hang on.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I still want it!

I think that was the goal with bringing Marleau in, but I'm not sure he's the right type of guy to be expecting that from.

Nope

Game 3 is really how I expected the entire series to be played. Just a crazy back and forth shit show.

My laces are just barely snug up until the second last eyelet. With how much wrap you have around your foot you don’t need to tie your laces tight at all. I also ditched the wax laces as they weren’t needed anymore.

Yep. Saw that coming. This series should be tied but he stole the game. That’s typically indicative of a series win when that happens.
