NHL Playoff Update

So the Devils get their due, or more rightly a present from Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, and are off to the Eastern Conference final to face the winner of the Rangers Caps series. They pay game 6 tonight in Washington and it will be interesting to see how the Caps respond after losing they way they did in Game 5. Even though they were out played they had themselves positioned to win but a Joel Ward double minor proved costly and the rest as they say is history. The Caps have proven resilient but the Rangers have too and it will be tough to beat Lundqvist twice in a row.

In the wild west, well, not sure anyone saw this coming. Phoenix vs LA in the final? This seems to the be ultimate proof that goaltending wins championships as both Mike Smith and Jonathan Quick have been unbelievable in leading their teams through the first two rounds. Time will tell but it won't be a stretch to say that the NHL would love a New York LA Final. Not saying, just, saying...
