Warned you guys this was coming. Home ice is virtually meaningless in the NHL playoffs.

Fact. Crazy. I admit I've never liked OV that doesn't mean I don't believe he is a great player. You always need villains and in hockey he is one of my villains I love to root against. However that backhand pass he made tonight that led to a goal was masterful.

I want to go on record which may be silly seeing as how this guy is being called the next great defenseman. I'm referring to Dahlin who will be the number one overall pick in this years draft. Quinn Hughes will be the best player in this draft. He also plays defense. His brother Jack will quite likely be the number one overall pick in next years draft. Dahlin will be a really good player. Quinn Hughes will be better.

On to Game 5 in the East series. Game 4 tomorrow night in the West. Winnipeg better win. I'm not much for theatrics but the pre-game things the Golden Knights do are pretty cool.

GO KNIGHTS!

Actually, I never expected them to go over .500, so win or lose in the Final it was a great season. I wanted to see a Pens-Knights Finals, but oh well, can't have everything.

CAPS keep their dream alive.


They have exceeded my expectations. Their game 7 history is not very good, but hoping they will defy their history on Wednesday in Tampa.


BTW there is a connection between Las Vegas and CAPS too. They have one of our former GMs.

They were hitting fools last night, and I mean good, clean hits. Tommy Hockey was everywhere!

I didn't pull for the local teams until I moved here 8 years ago. One thing I noticed over this time is the locals have a habit of under performing in the play-offs compared to their regular season records. The most shining example was the recent NCAA basketball tournament, UVA was the first #1 seed to lose in round one. Looking for the Caps to get that bad taste out of my mouth that the Cavaliers left in it.
