Maybe intimidated, or maybe frustrated and flummoxed that whatever they throw at Florida doesn't seem to give them an edge.

I'm not sure if the refs are bad this game or not. In the end, I'm liking that they're letting the players play the game.

The Panthers are a surprisingly well built hockey team. I love watching their games. The East in general, really. The West games are hard to watch.

I'm not liking this trend of using a homer broadcast team for these games.

Hmmm...what are they going to do with Rempe it the line up?

Second Avs game in a row I noticed super short shifts for Mitts line. And tonight his line was pretty soft.

A just victory.

Boston goonery is back.

Are we surprised? I am not surprised.

Where was this Colorado team the past 3 games?

Wow, what a period of hockey. Dallas had turned the entire Avs bench into a pretzel.

Finally a little energy in a later second round game.

It did not. In my defense, I was fully expecting the Panthers to take the lead sometime by 5 minutes into the third.

That's what happens when you sleep-walk through the first. Have to hand it to Boston for keeping the goonery under wraps.

I predict copious Boston goonery in the third.

Ugh. WTF.

Foot was in the crease and he knocked his stick away.

Now this game is getting good. Amazing how Florida can have so many lax first periods but never be out of a game.

Tomorrow's announcement from the Sabres: Girgensons receives a two year contract extension.

This is so transparently premeditated. Why didn't they all save us the time and announce Lindy's hiring, Appert's "promotion", and the retention of Ellis and Wilford the day they announced Meatballs was fired?

ERod and Okposo are significant contributors to offense and defense. So much that they may even re-sign Okposo, put him IR for the season, and activate him for the playoffs.

Just gonna drop this little ol' chart here...

There's going to be rioting in Boston if they lose this game.
