I think you see what you want to see, Evan.

I hate Ovechkin, so I'm seeing what I actually see. The hit WAS shoulder-to-shoulder. He got a little head, yeah, but that's the way she goes. It was shoulder upon first contact.

This is a nothing hit. He plays the puck first, then hits Girardi. He jumped, he got 2 minutes. They have penalties in the NHL. Not everything needs to be dissected and suspended. Girardi is just being a Wing Dang Doodle and whining about it. He could have hit Ovechkin if he wanted to right there but he backed off for some reason.

Kings up 2-1 over the Blues in the 3rd... 10 mins to go...

Kings win 3-1 and complete the sweep of the Blues. They are on a roll. 8-1 in the post season so far... could they go... all... the... way? We shall see...

that's gonna be a mighty battle of goaltenders. quick vs smith. right after smith vs rinne.

Hartnell's such a prick. Hope his 15 minutes are up soon.

Klesla gets 1 game...

Impressive.

pure domination by Jersey. 3-2 at the end of the second

another prick on the Flyers - Claude Giroux with a shoulder to the head of Zubrus

Did Evan pick the Devils in the pool? Oh, wait, he's not in the pool. Maybe a different pool.

I used to really dislike Hartnell. Mostly because of his hair -- he looked like a punk and I can't stand attitude. He's really funny though, and I've got to admit "Suck it Phaneuf" really helped to rehabilitate him in my eyes.

So why the hate on?

Devils win.

Not in the pool, but I picked Devils in 6.

Hartnell is just an bunghole in my books. Diver, yapper, dirty hits, Sean Avery-like. He is going to fade so much next year. Does nothing but ride Giroux's coattails.

1 game suspension, or two? Because that was brutal.

In other words, lights out for the Flyers.

Really looks like it.

Jagr too. Although I'd say he's got some talent. I figure there will be a drop off without his linemates, but he's still a 20-25 goal guy otherwise.

He'll probably only get one game, but it should be more. He got pissed off on that shift and then went looking to hurt someone. For a guy that had concussion issues, you'd think he'd be more sensible, and just slash an ankle.

If I were Shanabanny, I'd give him 5.

He does that all the time, that's his standard move. It goes up from there as he gets more and more pissed off.
