On Tuesday, the Flyers were able to break out the "ran into a hot goalie" excuse as Marc-Andre Fleury made 45 stops in the Pens' 3-1 win, giving them a 3-1 lead in the series and a chance to close things out tonight in Pittsburgh.
You could just see how hopping mad they were after the game that nobody except Dan Carcillo was able to put one past that leaky cement foundation of a goaltender.
The 100th season of the Montreal Canadiens came crashing down around them in a steaming pile of putrescence after the Bruins' 4-1 win in La Belle Province on Wednesday gave Boston a four-game sweep.
All may once again be right with the world as the Red Wings look to sweep the Blue Jackets out of the playoffs in Game 4 at Ohio's capital tonight. A win will strike a final blow the Ken Hitchcock coached club, which has decided to play like it's 1999 and try to clog the Wings' offensive bursts with something resembling a neutral zone trap.
The Flames and Blackhawks series may be the best one of the entire quarterfinals in either conference, and whoever blinks first, home ice or not, will end up losing. It's a perfect meeting of equal but opposite gameplans: Chicago's youth and exuberance against Calgary's experience and strength.
