Let's get this out of the way first:
GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!




EAST:
*Pittsburgh Penguins 2, Washington Capitals 3 (Caps lead the series 1 - 0)
Pens goals: Crosby and Eaton
Caps goals: Steckel, Ovechkin, and Fleischmann

WEST:
*Chicago Blackhawks 6, Vancouver Canucks 3 (series tied 1 - 1)
Hawks goals: Sharp (2), Eager, Kane, and Bolland
Canucks goals: Salo, Edler, and H. Sedin


*Draper is out for Game 2.

*Rafalski is also out for Game 2.  Chelios will stay in the line-up and my boy Ericsson will again be paired with Lidstrom.  Good article on the rookie defenseman.  I especially love the part where he "gushes" about Lids.  *snicker*

*If Rafalski is out for another game, I hope they dress my Meechie-baby.  I'd love to see him get on at least one Playoff game.  *pets him*

*The Ducks' Mike Brown will not receive any further punishment from the league for the hit on Hudler in Game 1.  *shrugs*  I thought it was a dirty hit, but obviously, I have no impact on the league's decisions.
