The Stanley Cup Playoffs got going last night with the gritty Washington Capitols edging the Boston Bruins 3-2 in overtime. Just a glorious way to get the tournament started.
This should be a great series as these teams genuinely hate one another since the dirty high hit earlier this season by the Caps’ Tom Wilson. I like Wilson’s toughness, but you don’t hit people from behind on the glass.
I’m watching the Penguins vs. the Islanders right now as it’s pouring rain in Deer Creek, America.
This should be a great series as well as the Pens in the Sid Era pursue their fourth Cup.
Great play by the Islander’s rookie goalie as he tripped Guenztel on a break away and then killed the penalty. That was a heady penalty for all you youngsters out their taking in this game.
The Tom Wilson penalty….not so good.
I’m so happy the Thunder’s dumpster fire season ends tonight as well. I have my Thunder flag hanging out on my truck window as a sign our season of horrific basketball is behind us. Why not…wtf? Que sera.
A great day to drink some Jack Daniels coffee and take in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
This is a horrible play on multiple fronts. Tom Wilson cannot play like this if the Caps want to win another Cup. Toughness and grit…yes. Playing like an unchained idiot…no.
I hope to use my hockey illustrator more on the blog this season. Dumb hockey teams don’t win championships.
