Jackets are winning with heart and the Yinzers are s#@tting bricks.

Meanwhile, McKinnon & Landeskog = Sakic & Forsberg.

Winning 4 out of the next 5 isn't gonna happen. Obviously yet another Minnesota team is just "happy to be there."

If we could stop the MacKinnon/Stastny/Landeskog line, we'd win this series going away. I don't have a lot of confidence in that happening though...

Not the case at all, actually. Watch a player's legs before they hit someone...they're not propelling themselves at all, they're gliding. Leaving your feet adds to the momentum you already have going in for a hit. There's a reason it's illegal.

Seabrook should get 4 games, the same amount Rupp got for his hit on Oshie...but, he'll probably get 2.

No, this is not the case at all. It is a physical impossibility to maintain the same momentum or add more once the person has left their feet. If you are correct one could argue that man - on his own - could fly. You may be simply gliding if the h it occurs when you are on your feet and thus no longer propelling yourself. You are most definitely no longer propelling yourself once you leave your feet. This is simple physics. The very moment your skates leave the ice you begin slowning down. Now you can certainly add force to the hit by propelling or driving your arm or other body part towards the player, but you can do that whether or not your skates are still on the ice. But again, at the exact moment your skates leave the ice, it is a physical impossibility for your entire mass to be accelerating towards the other player.

After watching both the games, I am not so sure. The Avs put on a clinic last night. I picked them to win in 5, but if the games are like last night, its a sweep. Not sure how McKinnon is only a teenager and looks as good as he does, but the avs have some depth too that they have built up over the years in the draft. They are fun to watch.

Leaving your feet adds to the momentum you already have going in for a hit. There's a reason it's illegal.

Sorry for picking on the same poster here, but it would be a civil disservice to not point out incorrect information. Leaving ones feet does not change the momentum at all. Mass times Velocity. Simple stuff there. However it has to do with the hit itself - the difference being the amount by which the center's of gravity differ from one another thus affecting the resulting collision. Think about an 8 ball hitting a rectangular beam dead on its center of inertia - or if it hits it the furthest away. Back to hockey ; I am not so sure that Seabrook's hit on backes was intentional, but thats a bad blow to both teams. Its amazing to think that 10 years ago that much of this stuff just flew with no repercussions. Does anyone think Scott Stevens would have even HAD a career in the NHL today? I am not so sure..
