4/29 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

The Stanley Cup Conference Semifinals got underway last night with the #1 VS. #5 Matchup in the Western Conference as the Sharks used a 3 goal 1st period as Joe Pavelski, Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi all scored in a minute and a half to give the Sharks a 3-0 lead and were looking to blow out the Red Wings to open the series after the bad start they got off to against Detroit.

However just a minute later saw Dan Cleary made it 3-1 as the Red Wings were able to turnaround the momentum and Jimmy Howard calmed down after the bad start to keep the game in check.

The 2nd period as they were just 13 shots on goal total in the 2nd period as the penalties started to come down (3 for SJ, 5 for DET). Despite all the PP Time the Sharks had in the 2nd, it was the Red Wings early on with a great set up from Datsyuk on his wrist shot to give the close the gap to 3-2 and the Red Wings had hope again of a comeback.

The opening minute of the 3rd period saw Pavelski and Rafalski score in the first 3 minutes to make it 4-3. The Sharks were looking to put it away late, but a 5 save performance from Evgeni Nabokov helped the Sharks win Game 1 and take the series lead.

San Jose has won 5-in-a-row after losing the first 2 games of the playoffs, the Sharks are looking to get the playoff monkey off their backs that have hampered them the last few years, also to avoid the fate that doomed the top 3 teams in the East as Washington, Buffalo & New Jersey are out of the playoffs.

2 games in the AHL Playoffs as the North Division Final got underway in Hamilton, Ontario as the Heat continued their momentum after coming back from 3-1 down to beat Rochester as Van Der Gulik and Baldwin each scored midway through the game to go up 2-1. Hamilton reacted quickly to make it 2-1. Brett Sutter scored to make 3-1 Heat to stun the Bulldogs and win the opening game. Brock Trotter scored his 4th of the playoffs with less then a minute left, but it was to little to late for the Bulldogs to force OT.

Hershey is zooming in the playoffs as they are the first team to clinch a Conference Spot as the Bears not only ended the Albany River Rats season, but they team as the River Rats will be moving to Charlotte, North Carolina next season to be closer to their NHL Affiliate in the Carolina Hurricanes.

It was another very close game in Barrie as the Spitfires are halfway through to defending the OHL Championship after winning their 2nd straight one goal game. After going into the 2nd intermission up 3-2, it was a couple of unsung hero's as Scott Timmins scored to make it 4-2.

However, the Barrie Colts found lighting in a bottle as Taylor Carnevale made it 4-3. But that's as close it would come as Dale Mitchell scored just a minute later to make it 5-3 to give the Spitfires the gap needed to go up 2-0 in the Championship Series.

It's a huge night as the WHL, QMJHL & USHL all begin their championship Series' tonight while the Surprising Canadians will open up in Pittsburgh against the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins. While the Texas Stars & Chicago Wolves will open up the West Division Final in Chicago.

4/28 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

The end of the Conference Quarterfinals ended last night with the biggest shock of this year's playoffs so far as the Capitals have been knocked out of the playoffs thanks to Canadians goals by Marc-Andre Bergeron and Dominic Moore in the 3rd period to put up the Canadians up 2-0 before a Brooks Laich goal with 2:16 left in the game began a frantic comeback attempt to put the game in OT. Even more fantastic was that the Canadians had to comeback from 3-1 down to comeback to win the series after loses in Games 2, 3 & 4 early on.

The other end of the equation was another amazing night Halak as he had to stop 17 shots in the 3rd period and 41 shots for the entire game. For the entire first round series for the Canadians, Halak had to make 40 or more saves a number of times in this series as he was with-out-a-doubt the MVP of this series as the Canadians will no have to play 4th Seeded and defending Champion Pittsburgh Penguins in the Conference Semifinals. In every game, he had to make 30 or more saves as he was a busy boy against Washington.

With the top 3 seeds now out of the playoffs in the East, it will be Pittsburgh & Boston having home ice advantage as #4 & #6 seeds as they will play the Philadelphia Flyers & Montreal Canadians in the 2nd Round.

Here's the Saves Numbers by Halak in the 1st Round VS. Washington

Game 1: Montreal 3 Washington 2 (OT) Halak: 45 SVS ON 47 Shots

Game 2: Montreal 5 Washington 6 (OT) Halak: 31 SVS on 37 Shots

Game 3: Washington 5 Montreal 1 Halak: 10 SVS on 13 Shots (Pulled in 2nd)

Game 4: Washington 6 Montreal 3 Halak: DNP

Game 5: Montreal 2 Washington 1 Halak: 37 SVS on 38 Shots

Game 6: Washington 1 Montreal 4 Halak: 53 SVS on 54 Shots

Game 7: Montreal 2 Washington 1 Halak: 41 SVS on 42 Shots

Series Stats: 2.46 GAA, .939 SV%, Made 231 SVS on 245 Shots in the Series


Just one AHL Game last night as the Manchester Monarchs had to comeback from 2-1 down which tied the game midway through the 3rd period when Justin Azevedo scored to make it 2-2. Then early in the OT Period saw the game end just 4 minutes into OT as Bud Holloway gets a goal and an assist in this game to tie the series at 1-1.

Expect the Atlantic Division Final to be a tight one as both games have comedown to the wire and don't be shocked to maybe see a multi OT Game or two in this series as well.

The Allen Americans can think Colton Yellow Horn & Justin Bowers to help the Americans take a 2-1 series lead as Allen now has a chance to sweep the 3 games in Allen and win the Championship at home this season. Game 4 will be tomorrow night with Game 5 on Saturday. Expect some huge and crazy crowds in Allen with a chance to win the Championship this weekend.

Nothing in Junior's Last night, but we got some interesting action as Game 2 of the OHL Championship Series takes place in Barrie after the Spitfires used a late comeback to win 4-3. Also the WHL Championship Gets underway in Calgary tonight as the Hitmen take on the Tri-City Americans. Friday Night is a very busy night as the QMJHL & USHL Championship Series will get underway that night.

4/22 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

The Multi OT Games are starting to come fast and furiously over the last couple of nights in the NHL as the Ottawa Senators pulled off a shock of the Penguins where Matt Crakner came up the unlikely hero for the Sens as he scored his first goal of the playoffs after scoring just 2 in the entire regular season.

This win keeps the Senators alive as Pittsburgh still leads 3-2, but it gets the series back to Ottawa where the Sens will hope to force a Game 7. After a game that stretches of fast pace and carefully planed play for different parts of the Triple OT Game, the Penguins had goals by Chris Kunitz and Sidney Crosby to keep the Pens in the game as the Sens were playing their best game of the series.

We also saw our first team through to the Conference Semifinals as the Flyers knocked out the Atlantic Division Champion New Jersey Devils. Brian Boucher has been playing out of his mind with a .940 GAA and a 1.59 SV%, in the different games, this was his first shutout of the plkayoffs and has given up more then 2 goals just once in the 1st Round Upset of New Jersey.

If the Washington Capitals can knock out the Montreal Canadians tonight, it will be the #1 Washington Capitals VS. #7 Philadelphia Flyers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

The Western Conference saw a huge night as all 4 series are tied at 2-2 and Thursday Night provided a huge night to find out how the momentum was going to shift. the San Jose Sharks finally looked like them selves with a 5-0 win over Colorado where two goals by Couture lead the way to San Jose as the Sharks now go up 3-2. Chicago got the series with Nashville back to even with a 3-0 shutout last night as Game 5 will now return to Chicago.

With the AHL & CHL both off last night. We head to the Juniors where the Windsor Spitfires avoided elimination again with a 3-0 shutout of the Kitchener Rangers to close the series gap to 3-2. And the Spitfires are looking to pull off a huge comeback and continue their hopes of playing the Barrie Colts for the OHL Championship and a shot of defending the Memorial Cup Championship.

Out West, the Tri-City Americans got their Western Conference Final tied at 2-2 with a 5-2 win where Kruise Reddick had a goal and 3 assists to lead the Americans past the Giants in Vancouver. The Series now shifts to Tri-City for Game 5 tonight.

It's a big night in the Central Hockey League as the CHL Ray Miron Presidents Cup Championship gets underway tonight as the Allen Americans VS. Rapid City Rush will do battle as both teams are looking to win their first League Championship in South Dakota Tonight. With the Eastern Conference Semifinals Matchups now set, the spotlight is in the West as Chicago, Texas, Rochester & Hamilton can all clinch their 1st Round Series tonight.

4/21 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

We had the first Double OT Game of this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs up in Boston as the Sabres & Bruins were playing the crucial game 4 last night. It turned out to be a great comeback for the Bruins after going down 2-0 at the 2nd intermission.

Then the 3rd period saw Patrice Bergeon and David Krejci that scored early goals in the 3rd period that turned the tide, from their on, the 3rd period was a very tense and tight period with either side afraid of giving up a huge goal that would either make it 3-1 lead for Boston or the series tied at 2-2 heading back to Buffalo.

Most of the 1st OT was a fast pace period with tons of shots as both teams wanted to get it done early as the SOG were 10-8 in favor of Boston. Then a furious Boston PP early in the 2OT gave an opportunity for Miroslav Satan who scored on the PP with a set up from Micheal Ryder to put the Bruins up 3-1 with a chance to end the series in Buffalo on Friday Night.

The other 2 games saw huge 3rd periods from the Washington Capitals & Vancouver Canucks use 4 goal third periods as both teams were able to go up 3-1 in their best of 7 series'.

A very busy night in the AHL saw a huge shock as the Milwaukee Admirals came back from 3-0 and 4-1 down to score 3 goals in the 2nd period made it 4-3 Wolves at the 2nd intermission. It looked it was going to be a big effort that would come short, but a goal by Thang stunned the Wolves fans to tie the game at 4-4. Then with less then 2 minutes left in the game, Chris Mueller made it 5-4 Admirals to pull off the Game 5 win to force a game 6 in Milwaukee on Friday Night.

Other then night, it was a night of blowouts as the Hershey Bears & Worcester Sharks used 5-1 & 4-1 wins to advance to the Divisional Finals. The Bears kept the Sound Tigers down to just 7 SOG for the game.

Then in the Western Conference, the Texas Stars and Rochester Americans had big 6-1 wins to go up 3-0 & 3-1 in their series to put them on the brink of winning their first Playoff Series in Team History. While the Hamilton Bulldogs had to survive a 4 goal 2nd period by Manitoba to win 5-4 in Double OT to go up 3-1 in their Best-of-7 Matchup.

The First League Championship Spot was clinched as the Barrie Colts downed Mississauga 4-2 with 2 goals by Stefan Della Rovere to knock out the Mississauga St. Micheal's Majors. Who with a strong young roster and a great year that saw them finish 3rd in the Regular Season and advance to the Conference Final. Expect them to be a major OHL & Memorial Cup Contender the next couple of seasons.

Moncton is on the verge of a QMJHL Championship Spot with a 4-0 win over Drummondville last night, while the Calgary Hitmen won 4-3 in Brandon to go up 3-1 in the WHL Eastern Conference Championship.

Could the Brandon Wheat Kings using a strategy that the Kelowna Rockets used to win the 2004 Memorial Cup when they hosted it that year. By getting eliminated in the Conference Final, then rest up to get ready for the Memorial Cup? Well find out in about a month when the Tournament gets underway.

4/19 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

Monday featured 3 Stanley Cup Playoff Games going into the night with all the series' tied at 1-1. In Montreal it was the first major blowout of the series as the Capitals are looking to put the Canadians season to bed with a 4 goal 2nd period with goals from Boyd Gordon, Brooks Laich, Eric Fehr and Alexander Ovechkin all put the game out of reach at the 2nd intermission where the Capitals eventually won 5-1. Washington will look to put a quick end of the series as the Capitals are looking to hit their stride in the playoffs.

The other 2 matchups from Monday Night saw the LA Kings retake the Series Lead against Vancouver that saw Michael Handzus go wild in the 2nd period with the Kings going up 3-1 midway through the 2nd period. Brad Richardson respond to a great Canucks Goal by Magnus Samuelsson less then a minute later to make it 4-1. Then former Edmonton Oiler Ryan Smyth put the dagger in the Canucks with the game winner that made it 5-2. The Final was eventually 5-3 to take a 2-1 series lead.

Also with Boston winning 2-1 in Game 3 as well. This leads that all 8 series were 1-1 after 2 games and 4 of the 8 lower seeded teams are leading the series as Colorado, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Boston are all leading their series' at 2-1 with the possibility of some high seeds including the San Jose Sharks who could be another chapter in the long list of playoff disappointments in the team's history.

5 Games are on the docket for tonight as Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Colorado all will be looking to go up 3-1 and on the verge of advancing to the Conference Semifinals.

The AHL Saw the Albany River Rats become the first team to advance to the Division Finals with a 5-3 win over the W-B/Scranton Penguins. Jamie Mcbain scored twice for the Rats to knock out the Penguins as Albany will most likely play the Hershey Bears in the Division Finals as they lead 3-1 over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Albany is looking to give their fans a strong sendoff as the team will be moving to Charlotte, North Carolina next season to be closer to the Carolina Hurricanes.

We also had our first hat trick of the Calder Cup Playoffs as Jordan Schroeder gave the Moose a 7-2 lead over the Hamilton Bulldogs to keep the series alive. Chicago also used a 1-0 victory with a lone goal by Machacek to put them up 3-1. Then a crazy game in Abbotsford, B.C. as the Americans came back from 2-1 down at the end of the 1st intermission as Graham Mink, Shawn Matthias and Clay Wilson each scored twice to win 8-4 and put the Americans up 2-1 in the North Division Semifinal.

A slow night but a huge game took place in Mississauga used a 3-1 win to go up 3-1 in the series to be within 1 win of advancing to the OHL Championship Series. Goals by Cameron, Della Rovere & Kennedy all scored to put the Colts on the Brink of advancing to the Championship.

Tonight is a huge night in the Major Junior's as both WHL Conference Finals will be playing Game 3 tonight, also the Kitchener Rangers can knockout Windsor in the OHL Western Conference Finals. In the QMJHL both St. John & Moncton are looking to go up 3-0 and closing in on an all Atlantic Region Final in the QMJHL between the New Brunswick Rivals.

NAHL Robertson Cup Playoffs

No Games on Sunday Night

4/17 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

Just 3 NHL Playoff Games on Saturday with 2 of them getting to OT as the Washington Capitals & Montreal Canadians reached the extra frame for the 2nd time in the series.

In Game 1, it was Plekanec who put a shock in the Capitals in Game 1, Game 2 had Capitals Forward Nicklas Backstrom who had a hat trick in the Game, including the OT Winner just 30 seconds into the extra frame in a game that was back-and-fourth where it was 4-2 Canadians and they were looking to take a 2-0 shocking lead into Games 3 & 4 in Montreal.

However, Alexander Ovechkin started the comeback just 3 minutes into the 3rd period to make it 4-3. John Carlson and Nicklas Backstrom scored in the 3rd to make it 5-5 into the OT Period.

The OT Game came in Vancouver as the Canucks were looking to go up 2-0. However Kings superstar Anze Kopitar was the hero in Game 2 as the Kings were able to even up the series at 1-1 with the series heading to California.

A busy Saturday Night in the AHL Saw 7 games as all the series are starting to reach the midway point of the 1st Round as we say several big routs as the Hamilton Bulldogs put 8 up on the Manitoba Moose who used a 5 goal 2nd period to pull away. The Defending Calder Cup Champion Hershey Bears put another big showing as a 7 goal showing to put the Bears up 3-0 and within 1 win of advancing to the East Division Final to most likely play the Albany River Rats who are up 3-0 against W-B/Scranton.

Rochester used a 4-1 win in New York to even up the series at 1-1 after Abbotsford won their first ever playoff game the previous night. Also the Texas Stars had goals from Fortunus, Lindgren and Sawada to put the Stars up 2-0 on Rockford.

One of the big stories in the road to the Memorial Cup is the Kitchener Rangers as they are up 2-0 on the Windsor Spitfires. Jeff Skinner has been a big reason as he had another 2 goal game in the 5-2 win which takes him to 4 goals in this series alone and 16 overall in the playoffs. Some interesting moments included both the Calgary Hitmen & Tri-City Americans both tieing the Conference Finals at 1-1 as we should expect some long series in the WHL. The QMJHL is on track for the 1st All Atlantic Region Final in League history as the St. John Seadogs took down the Victoriaville Tigers 5-1 in Game 2 of the QMJHL Semifinal.

In the U.S.A., the Traverse City North Stars, Bismarck Bobcats and Wenatchee Wild are all just 1 win away from winning their Division Titles and advancing to the Robertson Cup Tournament in Wenatchee, Washington. While the Topeka Roadrunners VS. St. Louis Bandits are tied at 1-1 with the series going at least 4 games with the 2 games on 4/23-24 with a possible game 5 back in Kansas on the 26 as that could act as the series and Division Title Decider.

The USHL saw the Fargo Force even up the West Division Final at 1-1 with a 4-2 win where Force Goals by Nate Condon, Matt Leitner & Corey Leivermann scored early & midway through the 3rd period to comeback after an Omaha Goal by Tim Craig put the Lancers up 1-0 early in the 2nd period. The Series shifts to North Dakota for Games 3 & 4 coming up on 4/23-24 with a possible Game 5 in Omaha on 4/27 where the Winner would advance to the USHL Clark Cup Final.

4/10 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

The North American Hockey League Division Finals are all set as the South Division Championship series was all set as the Roadrunners ended the Jr. Blues season, while the Bandits had to do it the hard-way as the team was 12 seconds away from being eliminated when the team tied it at 2-2 with the extra man.

Then won the game midway through the 1st OT. In the Central Division, the Alexandira Blizzard knocked out the Owatonna Express as they will get the Division Top Seed Bismarck Bobcats for the Central Division Championship and a Robertson Cup Spot.

The QMJHL Has the Semifinals all set as the Central & Atlantic Divisions are the only ones left standing as the St. John Seadogs will take on the Victoriaville Tigers while the defending champion Drummondville Voltigeurs gets the Moncton Wildcats for a chance to play for the QMJHL Championship. The Semifinals should get underway in the mid-week.

The Jackalopes were able to tie the series at 1-1 while Bossier-Shreveport and Rapid City got the Northern Conference Final up and going last night. With both teams pretty fresh after winning the Conference Semifinals in short order, expect to see a long series as we have a first timer in Rapid City and a Bossier-Shreveport who's making up for lost time in this year's playoffs with a Presidents Cup Championship Spot on the line.

Also, is this the end of an era in Dallas as Mike Modano played the team's final game of the regular season as he ended the way it begun with him wearing a North Stars Jersey after last night's game against Minnesota as he was named the games #1 Star.
