Stars just couldn't dent the vegas defence. They are looking stronger and stronger for a go at retaining the cup

RIP Bob Cole. Passed away aged 90.

For those who know, this was the Canadian broadcaster for the NHL 'Hockey Night in Canada' games.

An icon. Basically my Pat Summerall (NFL) but for hockey. His voice just embodied the sport he was commentating on.

Also Elliotte Friedman is saying according to his source that William Nylander is suffering from migraines.

When the 1st round matchups were confirmed, I had the Panthers v Lightning series as the one to watch for me.

Game 3 is now underway in Tampa, with the Panthers starting fast.

In case you missed it, here's the save of the playoffs from the Panthers goalie Bobrovsky, in Game 2:

Wonderful game so far, back and forth leads exchanged and Panthers lead 3-2 so far with about a minute to go in the 2nd.

Meanwhile Hurricanes lead the Isles 3-1 in the 2nd. This series might be a sweep.

Nhltv down ? Can't login with details that I know are correct. Changed pw and still can't login.

Seems to work ok for me (although I don't use it to watch the games). Might need to clear you cache or use another browser or device?

Bruins Lead Maple Leafs  2-1 after 4-2 win

Islanders take Hurricanes to Over Time

[TipTopKop]

This and the Rangers/Caps series feels like a matter of time for the Hurricanes and Rangers respectively (probably same for the Oilers and Kings).

Hurricanes though are my dark horse in the East. If as expected they meet the Rangers in the next round, I feel the Hurricanes will prevail.

2nd period of overtime coming  up

[TipTopKop]

So Islanders win this in OT, but this series still looks done to me, seems to be a gap between the two teams. Who knows though, momentum is a funny thing.

My goodness how good is Stamkos?

Wonder where he goes in the summer. Might be hard for Tampa to keep him and apparently negotations haven't gone too well.

Bruins taking a 3-0 into the 3rd period and might be 3-1 up in the series at the end of this game.

Tough to see a way back for the Leafs if that happens. The usual introspection in this hockey mad city would begin and who knows where they'll go from there.
