Day two roundup...
Last night was a really dramatic night for this years NHL playoffs day two! Defending champions Chicago Blackhawks started their playoff campaign vs St Louis Blues and a high scoring first period saw Hawks led 3-2. The next two periods were very different and the goals in the first looked to be the only goals! But with less than two minutes remaining, Blues tied it and took it to overtime. With it being the playoffs, it went to continuous overtime, and three periods in (almost an extra games worth of time) Blues scored to win it! 4-3 the Blues won!
Else where, New York Rangers came from 1-0 down to win 4-1 including three very quick goals in the third period to seal it!
Also, Colorado tied it 4-4 vs Minnesota Wild in the final minute to take to overtime in which they won it 5-4!
2012s winners Los Angeles Kings got their playoff campaign off to a terrible start going down 6-3 to San Jose sharks despite almost coming back from 5-0 down. It was 5-0 Sharks at one point but Kings made it 5-3 quickly then nearly stunned everyone but an empty netter for Sharks won it 6-3 for them!
Day three preview...
League champions Boston Bruins kick off their playoff run tonight as they take on a Detroit Red wings team that will begin their 23rd straight playoff campaign! It will be the first time the team have met in the playoffs since 1957, so this will be a classic original six series!
Tampa Bay Lightning will look to tie their series vs Montreal Canadians after loosing in overtime on Wednesday. Will they get revenge? This series should be a good one!
On Wenesday Dallas Stars almost made a shock comeback against Anaheim Ducks! It was at one point Ducks led 4-0 but Stars closed to the gap to 4-3 but couldn't quiet equalize.
