LEADS SERIES 2-1

[Toronto Maple Leafs]

The most effective element of Tampa’s game is shutting down, or limiting, Lemieux and Bondra’s chances.

Tomas Kaberle finished the night with 3 assists in the win and the Bolts are 1 win away from clinching the series.

This was a solid pushback game by the Panthers, striking fast and early and then maintaining the same pace as the Sens the rest of the way to stay on top of it. Some major frustrations at the dying seconds of the game shows this series is far from over.

Heatley, Spezza and Ohlund led the charge, each contributing 1G and 2A in the win to put the Avs on the brink of elimination. Tuukka Rask continues to be steady throughout the playoffs.

The Ducks find a way to break through once again to go up a game in the series against the Hawks. More than anything, it was shutting down Krejci and Parise that put them on top in this game.

I wanted to see a Colorado-Tampa final just cuz that's the real life one. Would have been fun.

This is not what I expected for basically every single series. I really thought Pens would walk through Bolts, Panthers would sweep, Avs would sweep. Hawks/Ducks is the only one I thought would be tight.

Lmao what made you think Pens was walking through Bolts?

The Oddsmaker had the Bolts at like a -300 for the series for sure.

Lemieux Bondra and Amonte had absolutely insane seasons and that usually leads to a crazy playoff run. They may have ran straight into a brick wall though
