With some favorites struggling, multiple overtime games and several series now tied up, the NHL playoffs have been anything but dull thus far. The Sens pulled out a big win in the big apple tonight and are now tied heading home. The win was costly though as Daniel Alfredsson was hit with a high elbow from Karl Haglin who received a five minute major on the play. My guess he hears more from the league as Alfie looked to be injured and it was a cheap shot in a game that could easily have gotten out of hand. In St. Louis they lost Jaroslav Halak but when you have an all star coming off the bench in Brian Elliott, things are ok and they went on to shut out the Sharks and even the series. Washington continues to get outstanding goaltending from Braydon Holtby and won in double OT to even their series with the Bruins.
Both Pittsburgh and Vancouver could not hit the road fast enough after loosing their first two at home. Not sure if either team will bounce back. They have the talent but are up against very talented, if under-appreciated teams. Time will tell.
