NHL Playoffs Open Thread: Friday April 12th
Games two ahead! First off, what happened in last night’s games:
Toronto 4 at Boston 1 - Leafs lead series 1-0
Carolina 2 at Washington 3- Washington leads series 1-0
Colorado 0 at Calgary 4 - Calgary leads series 1-0
Columbus Blue Jackets (2EWC) at Tampa Bay Lightning (1ATL) - 7:00pm ET
Columbus leads series 1-0
How to Watch: CNBC, SN360, TVAS, SUN, FS-O
Blue Jackets Blog: The Cannon
Lightning Blog: Raw Charge
The Setup: Game one was amazing. It’s too bad for Tampa that no team has ever gone on to do anything useful after dropping game one at home against Columbus
Pittsburgh Penguins (3MET) at New York Islanders (2MET) - 7:30pm ET
Islanders lead series 1-0
How to Watch: NBCSN, TVAS2, , MSG, MSG+, ATTSN-PIT
Penguins Blog: Pensburgh
Islanders Blog: Lighthouse Hockey
The Setup: Matt Barzal is really fun to watch, but I’m not sure Valtteri Filppula is shutdown center enough to keep Pittsburgh contained. Just need Letang to keep making dumb gambles against Trotz’s defense.
St Louis Blues (3CTL) at Winnipeg Jets (2CTL) - 9:30pm ET
Blues lead series 1-0
How to Watch: CNBC, TVAS, FS-MW
Blues Blog: St. Louis Game Time
Jets Blog: Arctic Ice Hockey
The Setup: Last game the team named the blues wore white in an arena where all the fans wore white to support the home team wearing blue. I hate this series.
Las Vegas Golden Knights Penguins (3PAC) at San Jose Sharks (2PAC) - 10:30pm ET
Sharks lead series 1-0
