This has got to be one of the most exciting Stanley Cup playoffs of all time! Scoring is way up, there has been more fighting, and not the staged fighting you see in the regular season that I absolutely hate, but the passionate in the moment hatred type of fighting. The NHL gets an A+ for the new playoff format.
Agreed!! Only problem is I can't imagine how these guys can keep it up throughout the playoffs! The level of intensity in the first round reminds me of conference finals matchups. Can't miss a single game. This is fun stuff. I mean Blackhawks/Blues, Sharks/Kings first round. That's insane. Too bad I can't win a bet to save my life in the nhl. Who says people don't watch games without action? This is the best entertainment on television.
well they wouldn't clear him unless he's 100% right? in this new age of concussion protocol i find it hard to believe they'd even let him skate in warm ups if he wasn't 100%. and whats w/ getzlaf upper body? you think it has anything to do with his face?
