I don't even care who wins two of these series (fuck the Avalanche), but man do I love a game seven when it's not my blood pressure on the line.

Philly and the Rangers played last night. Wayne Simmonds scored a hat trick and the game never looked particularly close. This one should be much tighter.

Minny finally held off the daunted Colorado empty net scheme to earn a game seven. Winner of this series gets to go on to be stomped by the Blackhawks.

I think either LA or San Jose beats the Ducks. No idea who I'm rooting for here. On the one hand, it would be funny for the Sharks to blow a 3-0 series lead, but on the other, I'd be kind of mad that the Kings did it where the Wings couldn't.
