NHL Playoff Observations -- Sunday Night

Just a few things that caught my eye:

  • Saw a poster on a hydro pole today -- it offered a reward for anyone finding a "Marian Gaborik." I called and told them to check the penalty box. 
  • Mike Fisherhad to score the game winner. Otherwise he'd have had some 'splaining to do at home after he put that pretty face on the line with Ryan Getzlaf
  • David Legwand -- the hottest player no one knows about. Those 23 points in 22 games between February 9 and March 26 almost make him look like a number two overall draft pick. He's even continuing his efforts in the postseason. Go figure.
  • Has the pornstache become the new playoff beard? Grow a mullet if you can't grow Shea Weber face fur. I'm talking to you, Brandon Dubinsky.
  • It was only a matter of time before Mikael Samuelsson assumed his rightful playoff place beside the twins. I hope you took him and not Alexandre Burrows in your postseason pool.
  • Kane, Kane -- will you ever be able?
  • Ray Emery moves across the crease about as well as Mrs. Fletcher in those old LifeCall commercials. "I've fallen and I can't get up." I wonder if he has one of those fetching neck pendants that connects him with help at the touch of a button. It might come in handy.
  • Tell me -- why are Chicago and Detroit in the West in the NHL but the East in the NBA?
