After last night’s fun two-overtime game that saw the Canadiens blow a two-goal lead and then win it on PK Subban’s 2nd goal of the night, we kick off two more 2nd Round playoff series tonight.

The Rangers will get very little rest, as they play in Pittsburgh tonight just two days after game seven of the first round and then will face games 2 and 3 on back-to-back nights Sunday and Monday. Pittsburgh has a bit more rest after dispatching the Blue Jackets in six games. Thinking on this series, it may just be the Rangers I don’t care about. I didn’t care about their last series and I care the least about this one out of all the 2nd-rounders. I’ll be watching just for Marc-Andre Fleury though. That guy’s a lot of fun.

Minnesota, fresh off suffocating the Avalanche in round 1 face an actual good hockey team in the playoffs for the first time this year. I’m interested to see how they fare. There’s a decently good chance that a combination of adrenaline and the Hawks perhaps being a bit rusty/overconfident gives them an edge tonight. We’ll see how much killer instinct the Hawks have.
