Right after Wolski’s goal, watch “tough guy” Avery. Comes up behind Johansson and pulls him down by the face. Then jumps in on Hendricks while he’s engaging someone else. Fedotenko needs to do a better job of holding Erskine down if he is going to cheap shot him (watch the replay, it was what I would call a “suspendable” butt end cheapshot). While watching it I thought to myself, Ruslan, you better not let him loose or the only golfing you’ll be doing is Wii golf from your hospital bed.

Did anyone else want Erskine to beat the living daylights out of Avery?

And, I’m going to go ahead and say we’re probably going to see Buffalo next round. They have a world class goalie, but absolutely NO offense. The Habs lost all their momentum, so avenging that 2010 series collapse probably won’t be happening. And after yesterday’s shellacking of the team from Pittsburgh, looks like we may be playing the Lightning if the Flyers can actually score on Miller.

Rhino, we thought a triptych looked best, so we played the odds with the bottom three: buffalo, Montreal, Tampa.

Anyone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think there may be some omissions from the “next?” photos.

IIRC, playoffs re-seed after each round. This would seem to indicate that:

–If Buffalo eliminates Philthy, we get the Sabres,
–If Bufffalo gets knocked out but the Habs eliminate the Bruins, we get the Habs next, and…
–If both Buffalo and Montreal are eliminated, we get the winner of the TB-PIT series.

Totally dominating performance tonight by the Capitals, what a great way to close out a series, and an even better treat to do it in front of the home crowd. Despite the classless and in my opinion poor sportsmanship from a few of the Rangers, I have nothing but respect for the effort put forth by Henrik Lundqvist. I have the sneaking suspicion that with the exception of a handful of goalies in the NHL, this game could have easily finished 5-0, or 6-0.

Great game. I didn’t get to watch it so I was surprised to see that Semin had a roughing penalty. Seems like Semin didn’t slap someone down…but boy do I want pictures to see Dubinsky taken down.
