Quick and dirty like....

Watching the Avs/Wild I remember now why I hated Forsberg. He'll give someone a little jab and when they jab back his head snaps back no matter where he gets hit. Slash him on the shin and watch that neck jerk back. Sucks the Avs won the first game as I really want Minnesota to play the Ducks but there is still time. Minnesota looked pretty crappy though and had a real issue connecting on passes. Quite frankly they didnt deserve to get the game into OT so not surprised on the results. On a sidenote, dont remember seeing Simon but Boogard was getting all sorts of ice time. The Avs announcers are no better then the Ducks in their homerism.

Piit-Sens. This looks to be the series to watch. Gary Roberts is a stud. Cant believe that he's not only still playing but still as mean as he was back on the late 80s calgary squad. Very entertaining game though...... has Redden ever won a fight?

SJ-Calgary-All Iginla in this one. He should get the MVP on last nights game alone. That said this has all the makings of a SJ collapse and those who predicted Campbell wouldbt be as successful in the playoff so far look to have made a pretty decent call.

NY/NJ- Didnt watch much of this one quite frankly but it has 7 game series written all over it.

Thoughts?
