There we be about 5 goals scored throughout the entire series, would be great though. As long as Philly and NJD aren't in the final I'm happy.

I'm just not as excited for these second round matchups as I was for the first round... Philly-Devils UGH... Caps-Rangers UGH.. Kings-Blues UGH... Yotes-Preds (best of the bunch, but still UGH)

I have no idea what his Corsi number is.....just shake my head how blocking shots is looked down upon in statistical review. He probably saved the game 2 or 3 times.

A blocked shot should improve your Corsi. The shot didn't get through, therefore....higher Corsi.

Not from what I understand. It's an "opportunity against" while you are on the ice.

 

That's ok. Main point is Callahan is everything you could ever ask for out of a player, especially in his package.

You've seen his package? ew.

Actually you are right. I forgot that blocked shots is included. It is composite....shots on + shots missed + shots blocked. Generally the higher your Corsi the more time in puck possession, or time spent in the offensive zone.

 

Love Callahan's game myself. I always wonder how long his body will hold out.

I find it hilarious that the sports illustrated issue a couple of weeks ago (which had a playoff preview of about half of a paragraph) picked two first round losers to win their respective conferences. This is kind of late, but I was rereading the issue, and it made me laugh.

Round 2 is cool in 2 odd ways:

 

1. When you look at the NHL.com page showing the matchups, all 4 matchups are between teams with uniquely similar logos. The first matchup has the only 2 teams with pure pictograph logos, the second are the only 2 animal logos, the third are the only 2 teams with the team name, and the 4th matchup is between the only 2 teams with the first letter of the location of the team as the logo. Any other way these teams could have matched up would have ruined that symmetry. Weird.

 

2. The teams that were eliminated in the East in Round 1 are the exact teams who made it to Round 2 in the West, and obviously vice versa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah I'm bored so what?

The other way to say that is that he only had 13 in Buffalo.

Kovalchuk with a nice 3 point night to lead the Devils.

 

And what about those Kings. Darryl Sutter is doing an amazing job. He has the Kings on a high at just the right time.
