Montreal just beat Pittsburgh 3 - 1. Go Montreal go!!!!

Our penalty kill was much better. We shut them down during the last one and had a chance with Gionta on another.

Good stuff and we now have home ice advantage.

Let's go Pens!

The Sharks hold a 2-0 advantage over the Red Wings now. Pavelski was amazing again. I was surprised that the Sharks were given 10 PPs to Detroit's 3 PPs. Another one goal game, so it's still been a close series. I think if the Sharks win Game #3 it's all over. It looks like the choking can officially be put to rest, as(even though I don't like the Sharks) it has to be said that they are playing some good hockey right now.

Come from behind to beat Detroit three times? Score two goals in the third period in Joe Louis Arena? That takes a lot of strength! It's a different team this year.

It's the kind of team that wins Stanley Cups.

I will admit that they are playing great(and will probably beat Detroit 4-0), but the wonderful thing about the playoffs is that almost any team can win(the only team that didn't really have a chance this year was Colorado. They could not score for the life of them, and ran into the San Jose juggernaut in the first round). I don't think that San Jose is a lock to win the Cup but they have a really good chance to make it to the final.

One thing I am sure you will agree with me on is that Detroit took a lot of stupid penalties. That takes the wind out of any team's sails. I'm not saying that it would have made for a different outcome in any of the games, but it certainly would have helped Detroit not to be in the box so much.

I wonder if any of their future opponents will be able to stop Pavelski? He has been amazing so far!

Boston beat the Flyers 4-1, and now hold a 3-0 game lead. It does not look good for the Flyers!
