Isn't it weird how many playoff games have either closely approached or needed overtime already? Seriously, pretty much all 5 games were like this yesterday, although there were quite a few empty-netters. Well, at least it makes for some pretty damn entertaining playoff hockey. There have been some seriously crazy games already so far, and it looks like the 2 must-watch series this round will be Coyotes vs. Red Wings and Canucks vs. Kings.
