Just A Quick Update

This update is just a quick one since I have to get my rear end to bed so I can be at work early tomorrow. For all those entered in the PLAYOFF LINE POOL, you'll notice a number in parentheses beside your line's total accumulated point total. That number is the number of players you have remaining. This will give you an idea of whether or not you have a legitimate shot at winning the pool. If you feel you're out of it already, just remember that one upset could change the entire face of this pool.

In other news, Washington has forced Game Seven in their series with Philadelphia after posting a 4-2 victory tonight. Ovechkin potted a couple while Backstrom and Semin chipped in with singles. Huet looked solid in the pipes.

You know the cronies in the NHL Head Offices in New York City have to be loving the possibilities of either a Pittsburgh-New York Rangers series, or a Pittsburgh-Washington series. The latter probably would have Mr. Bettman wet himself, but Washington still has one more step to take.

Montreal moved on tonight after they showed up and put on a show. The Kostitsyn brothers showed why they may be the most talented Belarussians in the NHL today as they paced the Canadiens to a 5-0 Game Seven victory over the Bruins.

Carey Price was dazzling in net yet again, and the Canadiens weathered the storm by playing shutdown hockey all night. Depending on who wins in the Washington-Philly series, Montreal has a date with either the Flyers or the Rangers in the second round. Perhaps the biggest surprise was the fabulous goal scored by defenceman Mark Streit. I'll post that tomorrow once it's online.

Seriously, it is one of the best goals of the playoffs.

Ok, I'm gone. Have a good one, and get ready for Game Seven between Calgary and San Jose tomorrow!

Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
