Game 5 - Pens win in OT vs. Washington, in Washington. That was a HUGE victory for the Pens, on the road. They go home to Mellon Arena for Game Six, with the upper hand. Washington came back from a deficit against the Rangers. Now the Pens are coming back from a deficit - albeit not as big as the 3-1 hole the Caps found themselves in on Broadway in Round One of the playoffs - against the Caps. It's interesting... I think this series will go Seven. I can't pick a winner.
Shame on the NHL for not getting this game, with it's marquee stars involved, on NBC, who showed a repeat of Law & Order. Whatever they may have charged, surely it was worth it, Commissioner Bettman? SURELY!!
Next on my Watch List...an intriguing Game 5 in Vancouver, Canada to come between the Black Hawks and the hometown Canucks.
What a great second round this has been! Ducks and Wings tied at 2. Hawks and Canucks tied at 2. Caps and Pens previously tied at two. Carolina with the upper hand against Boston - who would've thought that?! Surely not me. Not anyone in Boston, either. Eric Staal is leading the way for the Canes. It's exciting times. Talk about parity... You gotta love this time of the year!!
