5 goals in 16 minutes.

He's got to take Fluery out.

Oh Raffi Torres, wtf?

Bad hit.

Lots of cheap shops in the playoffs this year.

That really didn't seem too bad to me. Worthy of a penalty, sure. Some kind of terrible incident for which he deserves suspension? Nah.

Then again, I might not really be fully acclimated to the newer, safer NHL.

The Flyers and Penguins are playing 80s hockey.

It's going to have to change, if anything to protect the massive investments these players represent. A couple more knocks to the head and the NHL poster boy Crosby will be calling it a career, as much as I hate the guy I don't want to see skill removed from the league for what amounts to a lack of control and sportsmanship.

I frankly find it dishonorable to go full-on and high towards a player that clearly doesn't see it coming. That's how people get seriously injured.

3 goals in the first 9 minutes of the Philly-Pittsburgh game. IOW, nothing's changed.

Might as well have this guy in goal.....

Nice picture of Luongo.

he's put on some weight, huh?

Rangers, Penguins and Canucks - the three playoff favourites - are all on the brink, and the Canucks are down by one after one. I expect that when I wake up, they'll be eliminated.

A true fan!

Canucks stave off elimination. They've got to stick with Schneider from now on.

Hard to imagine they would have Luongo in net in game 5.....
