The NHL Playoffs are in full swing and we have some great stories going. The West is all set with San Jose playing
the Chicago Blackhawks. THAT should be a great series.
BUT......
The big stories are in the East. The # 8 seed Montreal Canadiens are riding the hot playoff goaltending of Jaroslav
Halak and defeated #1 seed Washington Caps (and Alex Ovechkin) in 7 games THEN took the defending CHAMPS
Pittsburgh Penguins to 7 games and beat them big time in that game 7.
BUT.......
The Double Choke in courtesy of the Boston Bruins. The Bruins were up 3-0 against the Flyers (I hate the Flyers :lol: )
and let Philly tie them up 3-3. Tonite Game 7 in Boston and the Bruins go up 3-0 quick, 3-1 end of 1st period. But the
Flyers fight back, tie 3-3 then with 8 minutes left the Bruins are called for a....TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE penalty and
during the subsequent power play Simon Gagne scores a goal and the Flyers win to go on to the Eastern Conference
Finals.
Double Choke - up 3-0 in games lose 4-3, up 3-0 game 7 lose 4-3!!!! See a pattern here? :)
Biggest 3-0 comeback in NHL history since 1975 when YOUR NY Islanders came back against....the Flyers,to win!!!
Biggest in sports since 2004 when another Boston team was involved....Red Sox beat Yankees 4-3!! But let us not go
there. :lol:
Conference Finals start Sunday!!!!! Watch, have fun, and enjoy!!
