Take any two teams; any game; Stanley Cup playoffs; five minutes left in 3rd period; tied or one goal difference - and you will be in for some excitement - guaranteed.

Yesterday's game was so nice to watch from my perspective because the game was mostly very well played, and, I don't dislike the Chicago Blackhawks. I do, however, hate the Ducks BIG TIME and was very glad to have watched Cleary (11) slip that puck in with about three minutes left to take them out in round two.

Very nice game today. Could be wrong, but I doubt if the 'Canes will take the Pens in this series and it seems likely there'll be a repeat of last year's final round. This is great stuff for hockey fans. Cheers to all. GO RED WINGS GO!
