Stanley Cup Playoffs 2015

Figured I'd start a thread for all the non-Sens playoff action.

Nice to see Pittsburgh on the way to an early exit.

Looks like Petr Mrazek is for real.

Minnesota is the Ottawa of the west, and their Andrew Hammond is Dubnyk. St Louis went with Jake Allen for Game 1, and it sounds like they may go to Elliot for Game 2.

Winnipeg took it on the chin last night in the 3rd period. Tough loss to the Ducks. This just in, the Ducks are pretty good.

Ben Bishop - 10 saves on 13 shots

Lightning will win if he doesn't choke again

Did they yank Bishop?

I don't think so. That backhand goal by glendenning was very poor though.

The datsyuk goal was unstoppable though.

The Canucks Flames series got awesome last night.

Crawford was pretty bad last night...Nashville might be for real. Weber was injured last night though and left the game.

Captain Obvious, here. So Darling back in for G3?

I think they'll stick with Crawford. That's what Quenville sounded like in his post game conference.

Not sure they can... he might get one more swing but we'll see.

Darling has been real good for them and got a taste of playoff hockey in game 1.

Darling was a big reason they won game 1. Crawford was a bigger reason they lost game 2. Can they afford to risk going down 1-2? I suppose they can.

I hope Nash can beat Chicago. I like a bit of change in the west. LA / Chicago can learn to share their toy.

I just don't see how you can pull a guy after 3 goals (the reliever wins the game) then leave him in for all 6 goals and still come back to him in G3. If he had any intention with starting him in G3 there's no way he would have left him in for all 6 goals.

Quenville actually talked about this in his post game conference and basically said he's not worried about Crawford.

Shea Weber is not traveling to Chicago. Injury sounds bad.

Darling will start game 3 for Chicago.
