      Sure looked like interference, but I'm used to that never being called in the NHL. They don't even review it. I've never understood that. Maybe someone can explain why it wasn't goaltender interference. Didn't see any of the Bruins complaining though.

          If the Rangers do lose it will be the first time since '06 that an Original Six team failed to make the second round.

          Of course, it's been longer than that since one Original Six team made the first round!

                the overtime result is not unexpected given how the season went for the most part. Special teams killed them again, and their inability to score didn't help either. Overall, they'll return a good defensive core ( Corvo, Maquaid, were out), and maybe add offense. Is horton done? They could have used him.

                Washington did what it needed to in order to win. I wonder how they will hold up against healthier teams..

                  I love how inevitable it is that at least 40% of the discussion in any hockey playoff thread is whining about how boring the other teams are, how the other teams are a bunch of thugs, how horrible it is to see defense, etc.

                  BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!

                  At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                    That was a bad dump even if it hadn't gotten blocked. Why do you wind up and slap it from there? If it hadn't gotten blocked, it would have just wrapped around the boards and come out the other side.

                    Congrats to the Caps. And as much as I detested Dale Hunter as a player, the man has done a great job as a coach. Not every coach would have the cojones to almost bench Ovechkin, but it turned out to be a very good move.

                      Watching my team hit a guy after the whistle and run a right wing lock up a goal is solid hockey. Watching the other team do it is a bunch of classless (always bring up class!) thugs that trap and are ruining hockey.

                      Ruining hockey is an epithet reserved for the New Jersey Devils.

                              Stop making something out of nothing. They were joking. I'm sure that each one of them have a black friend that can tell you that they aren't racist.

                                Based on Bradley-Terry rankings (i.e., KRACH) found here, the updated (after 4/25) most likely outcomes are:

                                West: LAK in 5 (100%), STL in 5 (100%), PHX in 6 (100%), NSH in 5 (100%)
                                East: NYR in 7 (62.5%), WAS in 7 (100%), NJD in 7 (54.3%), PHI in 6 (100%)

                                Overall winning probabilities:
                                West
                                VAN 0.00% - LAK 100.0%
                                STL 100.0% - SJS 0.00%
                                PHX 100.0% - CHI 0.00%
                                NSH 100.0% - DET 0.00%

                                East
                                NYR 62.5% - OTT 37.5%
                                BOS 0.00% - WAS 100.0%
                                FLA 45.7% - NJD 54.3%
                                PIT 0.00% - PHI 100.0%

                                As always, KRACH is not a perfect predictive system. In fact, it's not predictive at all; it's retrodictive. Home-ice advantage, momentum, and the like can not be accounted for reliably, so they are ignored.

                                Remarks: Here we are on the last day of the first round, with both SCF contenders from last year eliminated and about a 1 in 6 chance of every non-Flyer team remaining playing for their first Cup. Yay hockey!!!

                                Next Round possibilities:
                                Code:
                                West
STL - LAK
CHI - NSH
