If they need me to bleed, then I'll bleed for my team
Carolina not on their game after 2 periods 1-1 Burns looks his age.
Islanders squandered a good chance to steal one in Carolina
If they need me to bleed, then I'll bleed for my team
Leaks nation is in a panic...

Some high scoring going on so far. That Avs-Jets game was wild. Oilers get 7 against the Kings too..
Vegas get first blood against Dallas, Leafs bounce back to even the series…
There are a lot of teams with a legitimate shot at winning it all. There is no overwhelming favourite, only about 10 in a grouping, that if they play their best hockey they are capable of winning.
Tampas big dog’s showed up Saturday.
Rangers have a chance to be the first team to advance to round 2 tonite. Would love to see the Fishdicks win another against the Hurry Canes.

Leaks look like they are ready to fold up the tent. never ever bet on the Leaks in the playoffs. They haven't beat Boston in the playoffs since 1959.(not a typo)

Yeah, I watched last night's...that might be one of the worst playoff games I've seen them play in recent years. Just not much push up until about the mid-way point of the third period, after the Marner goal, and then Nylander with a braindead play to take a penalty.
They're too one-dimensional for the playoffs, don't have enough defense, and their goaltending isn't good enough to make up for it. And the guys they sign to contracts...wow, glad I'm not a Leafs fan, but yeah lesson learned.
Tampa digging the golf sticks out.
