Paying My Respects To Hockey.

Rangers 2, Sabres 1 (2OT) - I love hockey OT in the playoffs. Love it. Rarely anything better, and this double OT battle didn't disappoint, with solid play all around, and Michal Rozsival scores the game-winner late in the second overtime period. Frankly, the Rangers should have had two goals earlier in the game, as what was called a kick really wasn't. However, I believe Buffalo or one of the Canadian teams needs to win the Cup badly.

Ducks 3, Canucks 2 - dependent upon some seriously good goal play by J.S. Giguere in the end, as the Canucks threw everything they had into that 6-on-5 at the end. Corey Perry slapped in the winning goal for the Ducks with less than 10 minutes in the period.

Both series are 2-1, Ducks and Sabres ahead.
