NHL Playoff's Update

In the same style as Mike did below, I'm going to quickly fly through the NHL playoffs so far:

-Defending Cup Champs Chicago Blackhawks are on brink of elimination, and it should come as no surprise. Chicago backed their way into the playoffs and lost a lot of key parts from last years team. They had a chance of winning Sunday's game but once Vancouver killed that 5 on 3 in the first I knew the Canucks were taking it.
-Kings vs Sharks has turned out to be one of the best series so far, and Drew Doughty had one hell of a game on Saturday (2G-2A, and yes he is a defenseman)
-Phoenix has dug itself into too big of a hole in both of the first two games and I don't see any chance of them coming back against the Red Wings
-The Preds are the team I'm cheering for out West, and they won a crucial one against the Ducks to go up 2-1. Also gotta love the atmosphere in Nashville of all places. Hope to see Shea Weber in an Islanders jersey next season.
-I didn't think the Caps were gonna sweep the Rangers, but I also didn't think the games would be as close as they are right now. Thankful to get Comcast Sportsnet DC because I don't wanna miss a single game for the remainder of that series.
-Shocked! That's how I feel about the Bruins being down 2-0 to the Habs. I had the Bruins winning the whole thing but they have run into a wall called Carey Price (65 saves on 66 shots)Claude Julien could be the sixth coach to see a pink-slip this offseason.
-Love the Sabres and Ryan Miller, but don't know if they can hold on against the Flyers. I see that series going to seven games.
-Could Crosby be back before the Pens series against the Bolts is over? Who knows, but without him I think Stamkos is too much.

Also, for those of you in the DC or NY area, pretty cool video up on the CSN website. Check it out here. It's in regards to that second period no goal as the horn sounded.

That's all for now, Mark claims to have a post coming today and maybe a podcast today too, although the weather forecast says 75 and sunny so don't get your hopes up on that.
