KarateKen Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Craziest game so far was between Colorado and Winnipeg. Tied at three after the first period and the Jets won 7-6. That is a tight matchup and should be a very close series. Other game one winners were NY Rangers, Florida, Boston, Carolina, and Vancouver. Vegas Dallas series is the last one to start with game one Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two other games tonight, the NY Islanders lead Carolina 3-0, and Boston is tied with Toronto at 2, both in the second period of their second game.

KarateKen Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Vegas and Edmonton win to take 1-0 leads. Toronto wins in Boston to tie that series 1-1, and Carolina has a wild comeback against the NY Islanders to take a 2-0 lead in the series, scoring five unanswered goals, four in the third period, and scoring two goals in a span of nine seconds. A monumental failure by the Islanders who are now in serious trouble. I don't see them coming back from this. It is a devastating loss. Then after the game the Hurricanes account on X was trolling the Islands for the loss. The NY Islanders were 81-0 in their playoff history when obtaining a three-goal lead. They are now 81-1. WOW. Just wow. PLAYOFF HOCKEY IS BACK!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarateKen Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 My neighbors across the street are die hard Rangers fans. They were super excited that the Rangers won the President's Trophy. Then I reminded them that many Presidents' Trophy winners fail to clear the first round...It's definitely true. We have seen some teams that had historically good regular seasons win the Presidents Trophy and lose in the first round just in recent years. Boston last year when they lost to Florida and Tampa in 2019 actually got swept in the opening round. Once the playoffs start everything that happened in the regular season doesn't matter anymore. Tonight, Colorado and Nashville evened up their series a 1-1, both getting three goal victories. The NY Rangers and Florida Panthers are up 2-0 in their series after wins on Tuesday night, both one goal games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, as the Bruins from last year showed us, what happens in the regular season doesn't mean much in the playoffs...
