Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 3125241, member: 2920"] A couple of game 1 observations: 1. Toronto forwards are going to expose Chara each and every shift that he's on the ice. Sooooo much speed. Hoping Toronto can take game 2 and get back up north in pole position and make quick work of the Bruins. 2. There is no better home ice playoff atmosphere than Nassau Colisseum. LOVE watching games played in that barn. But I (still) don't think they're getting past the Pens. 3. Tampa will be just fine...for now. 4. Washington should worry a little bit....but they will ultimately win the series. 5. I'm embarrassed to say this but I need to hold myself accountable: I learned that Nashville is in the CT zone the other night. Was so confused that puck drop there was 9:30 so had to google why. Still, 8:30 is pretty late to drop the puck there. 6. Matthew Tkachuk will end up on one side of a very serious injury before Calgary is eliminated, whenever that is. Plays too much on the edge like dirty playoff agitators of years past: Esa Tikkanen, Dale Hunter, Milan Lucic, Claude Lemieux, etc. 7. Speaking of Calgary, are babies born with Flames jerseys already on up there? Would very much like to garner Flames' fans opinions of our beloved UConn "rainbow white/blue outs". :) 8. I'm rooting like hell for the Blues. First, I like the way they play: fast and physical. Second, I can't bring myself to root for Paul Maurice. [/QUOTE]
