NHL Playoff Observations -- Wednesday

Written by

Just a few things that caught my eye:

Six-foot-six isn't tall if you're always on your knees. Stand up, Anders Lindback -- STAND UP! They already know about that glove hand of yours. Don't give them anything else!

Sidney Crosby has discovered it's tick season. Brandon Dubinsky just latches on between the shoulder blades and drains the energy right out of a guy.

Did anyone other than me have visions of Jeff Zatkoff entering the game just after the start of the second? Yikes.

Nineteen ... seconds, that is. Tomas Plekanec was the best Hab on the ice in the first half. A goal. A post. He'll lead the Habs in scoring, even with playoff slayer, Daniel Briere, in tow.

P.K. Subban or Alexei Emelin? Alexei Emelin or P.K. Subban? I love P.K., but Emelin is a true difference maker. He'll be the reason the Habs advance to the next round. Wow.

How soon before the goalie controversy in Anaheim explodes? Frederik Andersen is hot; Jonas Hiller is mad. This should be fun to watch.

Is it possible for Jack Johnson to have a better playoff than entire 2013-14 season? #biggameplayer

Sergei Gonchar. Last season? Yup.

Dominated. By some Ducks. Poor, poor Stars. It was nice that you got into the postseason, but wow. Maybe the Kings won't come out of the West after all ...

Sooo ... how long does Dan Bylsma keep his job if the Pens get punted early? Or Ken Hitchcock? Toronto could have a new coach sooner rather than later.
