Portland is the Division winner -- 103 pts to Manchester's 98.

Hopefully Buffalo suffers some injuries and is forced to call up a bunch of players

That, or hopefully we can get the pansies Locke and Hale back

Yeah, this could be key for us. Right now Gragnani is with the Sabres - and he had 60 something points with the Pirates. Mancari's their big gun at forward, so hopefully Hale will be back to look after him.

Nice battle between Adam and Butler - who for a while were 1 and 2 in rookie goals scored going back and forth, then both got called up to the bigs and they never really had a chance to decide it...until now.

Here's the series winner:

Nice. Thanks for posting.

Sweet win by the BSens! Well done!!!!

Awesome win !

Lehner seems to be good enough to win(I guess Brust is injured ?)

Shame Lehner didn't have much play time this year to prepare for this.

Apparently Lehner thanked KK for letting him start the third. I guess he didn't think he was very good in the first 40 minutes. Glad he made up for it in the last 20+.

Is it just me, or did that celebration look pretty subdued? I thought there would be equipment flying and people jumping on guys etc...this wasn't just a win, this was a series-clinching overtime win. Good for them, they seem like they're REALLY focussed.

Interesting to see Greening wearing 15 BTW.

Also, how can you NOT sign Potulny after this performance. Maybe the guy even needs to be looked at in pre-season big time. These are the performances that get you noticed.

You don't throw equipment everywhere for winning a FIRST ROUND. That would have been pathetic.

I have to agree with SD, though, that when I first saw it it looked very low-key. Three straight OT wins to overcome a 1-3 deficit -- first time that's ever happened in the league. I think a couple of gloves in the air would have been allowed. If they were at home I'm sure they would have done it. Daugavins punted his tick into the stands after winning G5.

You know what I mean, I know you do. Argumentative little monkey. I meant that it was super low key for an OT, 7th game winner. But I asked Joy and she said the exact thing we were thinking, this group is REALLY focussed.

His tick?

Yeah, going bonkers after winning a series in the first round would be a bit much... and would be criticized by the media. Save that for when you win it all. Appreciate the significance on what they've archived, but keep the focus on the task at hand...
