I'm going to try to re-ignite discussion here.
Anybody still following the NHL playoffs? Nashville Predators eliminated the St. Louis Blues last night in game 6. Edmonton embarrassed the Anaheim Ducks last night to send it to game 7, and the Washington Captals beat the Penguins tonight in convincing fashion to send it to game 7.
I'm not really surprised about Nashvile defeating St. Louis. The Predators have been one of the more impressive teams thus far and I think they are the biggest threat out of the western conference out of the remaining teams. I'm a little surprised at Washington's ability to extend the series to 7, especially after falling down 3-1. I thought Pittsburgh would of been prepared to eliminate them. I'm also surprised at the Ducks and Oilers series, not because of the Oilers, but because of the Ducks. I seems like the Ducks are just kind of beating themselves in this series and I get the sense they don't have the will to play their game, and instead they have been just letting the Oilers skate all over them.
Rangers and Senators game 6 is tomorrow night, and I think it's in New York. Rangers seemed strong at home in their previous two contests during games 3 & 4. I'm expecting a game 7 in that series too.
