Pens survive a "3 DOG night" to get the win. Should be a great series with Tampa.

Dallas came up to play ... what I have NO idea!

Helluva start by the Sharks.

[icehog3]

I scored a goal off a slapshot off my chin once, but my beard was about at thick as Kaitlyn Jenner's.

Both Conference Finals series should be exciting.

Nice to see the sharks not just win, but win in the way they did. Much different team than previous years. Looking forward to the next round!

[AdamJoshua]

Have to go with the Sharks so Jumbo Joe can have his Borque moment, although not the same circumstances and not quite as special, would still be nice to see him give Sinden the big middle finger.

Their backup is decent and had a great game, have to wait and see.

The x-rays on Ben Bishop's injured left knee came back negative, according to head coach Jon Cooper.

Bishop was injured after falling awkwardly on his left leg. He was clearly in severe pain on the ice before the stretcher carried him off. Cooper added that there was no structural damage done to Bishop's knee and that they are "hoping for the best". The Lightning goaltender is considered day-to-day. We should find out more about his status for Game 2 in the next couple of days. May 14 - 12:07 AM

I picked the Lightning to beat the Pens in the pool I am leading on another board, so of course Bishop got hurt ih Game 1.

Actually, Vasilevskiy hasn't been bad and is clearly playing up to the moment while Bishop is day to day.

Does Larry's have a patio tv that we can watch while we puff?

Yes there are sets outside on the patio, a couple of them.

Let's not forget the goalie the Bruins held the rights to for less than a week, saying that this player was no Rask as they traded him. They were right that time at least, the player, Martin Jones, led the potential lottery Sharks to the playoffs with 37 wins and is hot in the playoffs... While Rask is off spending that 7 million a year the Bruins pay for his unique style of choking.

[AdamJoshua]

Jones 2 consecutive shutouts and 3 of the last 4, but the Bruins have Tuukkkaaah Mr. Fking Clutch Rask!

[bugmenot]

Well that was ugly. Sharks didn't seem ready to play until it was too late. Have been expecting it to go 7, just came out lackadaisical today.

[AdamJoshua]

If I believed in jinxed (knocks on wood) I would say I totally killed Jones' night with my post.

[icehog3]

Two great series, both likely to go 7. I LOVE playoff hockey!

[AdamJoshua]

Wow textbook wraparound behind the net goal to tie it up 3 - 3 late.

[icehog3]

And forehand backside to win it.

Yep, The Kyd has finally found his form. The third goal, where he skated rings around three guys was a thing of wonder.

Amazing talent for such an annoying young man.
