There's Other Teams Playing? Open Thread

PrintIf it hasn't mentioned "Vancouver" or "St. Louis" since Sunday I haven't really been paying attention. Such is life. But there's still a lot of great first round games out there so take your night off and watch others bleed and take bad hooking calls. Check out rest of the warring SB Nation sites too:
Thoughts: Part of me wants the Flames to win just to get the Hawks out. Part of me wants the Hawks to win because rooting for Calgary is just disgusting. The majority of me wants the United Center to be hit by a comet.
Thoughts: Seriously? You can't honestly be rooting for Detroit. There's only one option in this one.
Thoughts: I dig that these guys can't stand each other and they should easily be able to top 20 penalties that the Canucks/Blues amassed last night. I don't really care who wins, but I would like to see Chara maul someone, even if it's a fan. Perhaps a child in a wheel chair, that seems about right.
Thoughts: I wish this game wasn't on so late because it should be the best of the bunch and at least come close, if not surpass, the Habs/Bruins in terms of hate and a smashmouth style of hockey. In most cases I'd go for the 8th seed, but not Anaheim. A tip of the glass to the Sharks obliterating them.

It took about three minutes for the Jackets and Wings to start pairing off.

Lucic with two goals in less then two minutes. Boston is stomping the Habs in the first.

Took awhile but Hudler puts the Wings on the board midway through the second.

And umberger responds to knot it at one. This series has all the makings of going seven.

I live in the Silicon Valley, in a city that borders San Jose. I have many Sharks fan friends and I just posted this FB status: “Dear Sharks fans: I would start panicking about right now”
I originally though Sharks in 7. Now I am thinking Ducks in 7. The Sharks proved all of their doubters right tonight.

I predicted Ducks would win their series. The only series winner I predicted that did not win their first game was Washington.

Like what I saw from the Ducks tonight. If they can keep it up, my bold pick of Ducks in 7 may yet pay off. By the way, I applaud the “Rooting for the Meteor” logic in Chicago-Calgary; that’s always a solid sports position to take.

That seemed like a flat Sharks team. They’ll get it going. If they don’t, well then my “Joe Thornton sucks in the playoffs” slandering will return
In the bay it’s mostly criticism of Patrick Marleau. There were stories about how he had turned the corner yesterday. One shot on goal disagrees with that.

I thought I actually saw Marleau the other day walking a dog and walking on the phone. So maybe it’s possible he wasn’t even there last night.

fuck I meant talking on the phone. Though walking on the phone isn’t entirely out of question.

True. You’d think Marleau would be clutch with his speed.
Does anyone else see the resemblance between Thornton and Sundin on the ice?

I had to look twice to believe it, and then on the same shift sets up the winner.
