What A Night Of Hockey

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
This isn’t a newsflash, but Friday night’s compelling, dramatic contests illustrate vividly why the Stanley Cup playoffs represent the most compelling championship tournaments in all of sports. Not to be too hyperbolic, but what a night of hockey.
Whether it was the wild and woolly shootout in Washington, where the Capitals erased a two-goal deficit to beat Philadelphia 5-4 on Alexander Ovechkin’s first playoff goal, or the Pittsburgh Penguins’ offensive machine firing on all cylinders as they beat Ottawa 5-3 behind 54 regulation shots, or the second straight overtime game between Colorado and Minnesota, or the war that is the New Jersey Devils-New York Rangers series, it was a night knee-deep in tension and drama.
added 12:55pm, from the responses most KK readers made today, sure sounds like everyone thought the games were great last night. I wonder how Joe Pelletier enjoyed them?

The game never looked better. Smaller maybe, but never better.
