St Louis and Wild are playing old time playoff hockey.

I’m still confident in Tampa.  I think Boston might be out matched. 
 

Blues and Wild game is very physical so far. Which could favor Blues in the long run.

I’d love to see Buffalo and Sabres playing olde time playoff hockey.

That's all him. He owns that. Can't say I'm too upset by it.

I’m conflicted. I like Ullmark and don’t wish him misfortune but I hate Boston and wish them nothing but misery.

[PerreaultForever]

Boston can't score. Carolina will beat them easily, probably in 5.   Carolina is good and shouldn't b overlooked either. 

Oilers be Oilers. 

[Flashsabre]

Oilers are Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football. They keep telling themselves it will be different with Mike Smith in net this time, and it never is.😀

That is a suspension. He is deliberately trying to injure him in a completely non hockey play.

It absolutely should be.  It probably won't, because (1) playoffs and (2) captain, but it should be.

And I'm rooting for Minnesota to take it all, too.

It was more fun the original way!

Not in the NHL, because stupidly, results matter, and he wasn't injured.

Some suspensions are worth it. That hit and 5 min kill set the tone for the game.

Oh, and ***** Tampa.

I don’t see the difference between this and the other 2 dozen non discriminate offenses that happen every playoff game.  I’ll be shocked only when someone is decapitated or dies on the ice.  Everything else falls under typical playoff hockey.

Yup there’s a cross check to the spine every 30 seconds or so of every game. Playoff hockey babbbbbby!

I liked Ullmark

Ullmark's a great guy and apparently a great team mate. Other players really like him too. He's just an average goalie though. The big question was would he be one of those guys that elevates his play in the playoffs and the answer here was he wasn't. He was the same. Average.

It was a focus this year, so, maybe it will last the first two rounds?😂

Thinking about this.

I really hope the league isn't kowtowing to the Leafs so they can finally win a playoff series or two. 

The Leafs looked like the better team but only after all the momentum was swung their way with all the "penalties".

If the league is determined to keep the teams from playing playoff hockey the way its always been played then I guess the Leafs of the world will get to win some day. 

I didn't see the same level of scrutiny in the rest of the games although I didn't watch every minute of them all.
