The NHL Playoffs are in the first round and I've been catching a little bit here and there. Here are the scores from Saturday's games:
West Game 5 -- (2) Chicago Blackhawks 5, (7) Nashville Predators 4 (OT, Blackhawks lead series 3-2)
East Game 6 -- (4) Pittsburgh Penguins 4, (5) Ottawa Senators 3 (OT, Penguins win series 4-2)
West Game 6 -- (1) San Jose Sharks 5, (8) Colorado Avalanche 2 (Sharks win series 4-2)
And here are the games slated for Sunday:
West Game 6 -- (4) Phoenix Coyotes at (5) Detroit Red Wings, noon MT (NBC, Red Wings lead series 3-2)
West Game 6 -- (3) Vancouver Canucks at (6) Los Angeles Kings, 7 p.m. MT (Versus, Canucks lead series 3-2)
Here's a look at the rest of the series...
East:
(1) Washington Capitals lead (8) Montreal Canadiens 3-2
(7) Philadelphia Flyers defeated (2) New Jersey Devils 4-1
(6) Boston Bruins lead (3) Buffalo Sabres 3-2
The playoffs can be pretty exciting, I find it interesting that in hockey being the home team doesn't seem to be as big of a deal as it is in basketball. Road teams seem to win a much greater percentage of the games. I also enjoy all the big crowds and how into the fans seem to be. I think it's really cool that the Washington Capitals sold out every game this year and always play in front of a sea of red. The Canadian fans are passionate so it's cool to see that from a U.S. team's fan base. I don't know everything about hockey, but I do enjoy watching it, especially when the playoffs roll around.
