    SC Playoffs East Semis G2: Montreal Canadiens (48-24-10, 4-4) vs. Buffalo Sabres 50-23-9, 5-2)🏒🎙️🎨 5-8-26

    This supposed to be a very dynamic series, and in my first look (alongside many) to see Buffalo in the playoffs... they just didn't have it tonight.

    SC Playoffs West Semis Game 2: Anaheim Ducks (4-3) vs. Vegas Golden Knights (5-2) 🏒🎙️🎨 5-6-26

    I think from what I've seen from the Anaheim Ducks for the first time this season... they look to be a legitimate threat to make the Western Conference Finals. This was a responsible and very impressive defensive game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

    "It's an Avalanche" SC Playoffs West Semis: MIN (4-3) vs. COL (5-0) 5-5-26 (COL Leads 1-0)

    The Colorado Avalanche have been rolling, and I'm on record saying that this team is giving me the same vibes from 2022. If the Minnesota Wild can't win this game after dropping that 9-6 opener... then they are in serious trouble. Join Alec Nava, Ian Genge and I for the call.

    SC Playoffs R1, G5: Canadiens (48-24-10, 2-2) vs. Lightning (50-26-6, 2-2) P-B-P 4-29-26

    Will this be yet another one-goal game? It's been a crazy series. Join in. Series Recap:   Game 1: MTL wins 4-3 (OT) Ten total powerplays as teams combine 5-for-10! The shots were just 23-19 for TB. Juraj Slafkovsky lands a powerplay hat trick and that is the game-winner. Branson Hagel scores twice for TB. Dobes gets the win stopping just 20 of 23 while Vasilevskiy has a rough outing in the 15-for-19 OT loss.  Game 2: TB wins 3-2 (OT) Seven powerplays MTL is the only to score on it. That’s four already. Kucherov 12:33 in the third ties the game at 2-2. J.J. Moser wins it before the halfway mark.    Vasilevskiy 25 of 27 and plays much better. Lightning activity level increases as Dobes stops 31 of 34 in the loss.   Game 3: MTL wins 3-2 (OT) Nine powerplays and TB is the only to score.  Texier and Point in the first. Hagel and Kirby Dach in the second, before a scoreless third period. Lane Hutson gets he game-winner as the MTL depth combines for seven points outside of the Hutson superstar goal. Lightning can only manage 15 of 17 on Dobes in the loss. Vasilevskiy records a 26 of 29 effort (another sub .900).  Game 4: TB wins 3-2. First regulation win of the series. A staggering 13 powerplays TB (1-for-7) MTL (1-for-6) and TB holds the shot board in the victory 20-18. Despite being outhit 50-28 and losing the faceoff battle 37-20! They also had 15 giveaways to just four for MTL! Canadiens lead 2-0 after a scoreless first behind Bolduc and Caufield who get their first of the playoffs. Guentzel responds for his first. Then Hagel adds a pair (his sixth of the series!) as TB completes the comeback in the third scoring twice. Sub .900 save percentages were enough in this game as “The Big Cat” stops 16 of 18 in the victory. Dobes was 17 for 20 in the loss.
