The Jackets squeeked out a win after bring up 3-1. The big boys for the Ducks showed up with Toews and Iginla both having great games. Rick Nash was his usual self notching 2 goals but it was Bryan Bickell who in only 6 minutes of icetime scored 2 big goals! Mark Stuart also played a great game after coming in this series to replace the injured Trevor Dailey and he was +3 on the night which will make things interesting moving into the next round when Dailey is expected to get healthy.
This was the first series that I didn't predict a sweep in because I thought it was going to be much closer. The fact that I took them out in just 4 games really surprises me and it must have a lot of other GM's surprised as well.
Congrats to the Ducks for a great playoff run after a very interesting yet frustrating season for you. Ravi did what he could to get into the playoffs and he is a contender every year. I am glad my advice to him in the regular season didn't come back to haunt me in the playoffs.
Well we finally scored but Ward really turned up the suck to make sure we got swept. Congrats to MJK on advancing to the finals, he definitely built a very strong team and it will be tough for anyone to beat him the way Miller is playing.
Important win as Montreal finally takes control, outshooting the Sens for a second straight game. Kopitar and Semin swapped roles for a game, as it was the Russian setting up the Slovenian to finish the winner and insurance goals. Rinne was real solid again.
