Pretty wild first night. 7-0 win for the Penguins, Jets franchise with their first ever playoff game win, and Vegas currently leading in their first ever.

That Jets game was awesome. Laine is unreal.

I hate Sidney Crosby with a passion but can the guy ever play hockey?!

That first goal of his??!

[Matt the Aussie]

Personally I'm just as impressed with his last goal (tip), such great hand-eye coordination.

Speaking of awesome goals - see Forsberg, Filip

This playoffs haven't been as good as usual, IMO.

Five of the series are 2-0 (could be six if the Sharks win). The Flyers probably don't beat the Penguins, anyways, and CBJ and Washington haven't played Game 2 yet.

Man, I will never pick the Capitals again. I thought they were saving it for the playoffs this season, and instead, they look like the classic Caps. Down 2-0 in the series to the Blue Jackets while going back to Columbus. Full credit to the Blue Jackets but the Capitals are better than this...

I really thought this could be their year.

How about Vegas..!

I had Kings in 6 so this is a shocker to me. I guess I should stop doubting them

I had LA in 5! It’s just nuts what Vegas has done. It really almost makes a mockery out of all the other “established franchises”. At this point I’m questioning my next assumption for them which is that they’re bound to regress next season.

Crazy thing about this is, Bobrovsky has been decent but is not the deciding factor. Caps are being outplayed and getting poor goaltending in their net.

[Dean Ambrose]

I had Vegas but in 7.

I also have Columbus in 7 over Washington. Y'all think I'd put any faith in Washington? LOL

proof is on my twitter bracket lmfao

[Matt the Aussie]

Big win for the Leafs last night, they finally got some of the bounces their way. Obviously crucial game Thursday.

Saw only highlights of the Sharks demolishing the Ducks - what is going on over there?
