Playoff hockey is back tonight and despite the break between the second and
third rounds there's a buzz surrounding these playoffs that I haven't seen in
years. TV ratings and scoring are up and people are talking about how
entertaining the games have been. We've seen comebacks, upsets, and plenty of
back and forth action. Now the league is getting some positive media buzz from
less than traditional hockey outlets, like in
this Wall Street Journal article.
Is this the best hockey we've seen since the lockout? I'd say it is- easily.
In other news, our playoff predictions for the third round are in. Dan Kamal,
Jeff Odgers, and I all predict a different match up for the Stanley Cup, and
none of us is predicting it to be Pittsburgh vs. Detroit. See who is predicting
what
right here.
