First Day Of Playoffs

Wednesday was the first day of the 2011-2012 playoffs and it was an interesting one. The first game was the Philadelphia Flyers vs the Pittsburgh Penguins and it was exciting. Pittsburgh got up 3-0 and all hope was lost in game 1 for the flyers but they didn't give up. Danny Briere scored 2 goals in the game and they scored again to tie it up. Going into overtime the flyers seemed to dominate and put one in off a tip in.

Now the next game was the Detroit, Nashville game which was a bit of a surprise. Pekka Rinne stood on his head and out did his opposing goaltender Jimmy Howard in this game.

The last game was the Los Angeles Kings vs Vancouver Canucks which I only got to watch 2 periods of. Vancouver wasn't doing as good as I thought they would against the Kings. Jonathon Quick stood on his head only giving up 2 goals and Drew Doughty and the rest of the Kings held on to win 4-2.

Todays games are as follows,

New York Rangers vs Ottawa Senators 7:00 est

Boston Bruins vs Washington Capitals 7:30 est

San Jose Sharks vs St Louis Blues 7:30 est

Chicago Blackhawks vs Phoenix Coyotes 10:00 est
