Kudos to Minnesota for not gooning it up.

Yet.

Tyler Kennedy played his best game of hockey i've seen from him all season tonight. And how bout Voky? I expect he'll be playing Saturday. Sid. Beauty (nuff said)

As much bad as I've said about TK this year, I wanted him in tonight. He's a playoff performer, and he always gives his all and then some. I also love putting in Vitale. Those guys had so much hustle and worked so hard tonight. And the Sid-Iggy-Duper line looked real good. And about that Sid goal...

Two teams advanced tonight: Blackhawks ousted the Minnesota Wild and the Ottawa Senators bounced Montreal. 13 teams remain in the playoffs. Friday night the Kings can close out the Blues at the Staples Center and the Red Wings are home at the Joe looking to force a game 7 on Sunday back in Anaheim.

Bracket updated.

Yeah. Evidently, if there was ever the perfect night to conk out from exhaustion before it was even 9:00, last night was it.

I do see Montreal, physically and mentally, disgraced themselves once again. Outscored 20-9 overall and a pair of 6-1 defeats in their final three games. Their presence in this playoff field will certainly not be missed.

I know this has been posted before, but I wanted to share a story involving this video

My roommate is not a hockey fan. When I watch Blue Jackets games he's either watching TV in his own room, or out of our apartment, or he surfs the web without paying much attention. Hard as I tried, I just couldn't get him to care. He could probably name 2 Blue Jackets players if I spotted him Bobrovsky. He's more of a college basketball guy, which is just fine because I don't really care about that either. So the other night I played this HNIC video for him (because I've watched it 30 times and it's honestly one of the best sports montages I've ever seen). Then game 4 of the Islanders-Penguins series came on and a funny thing happened - he watched it with me. He watched the entire game with me. It ended up being the perfect game to start someone on the NHL playoffs. Major underdog, high scoring, high energy in an old barn, lots of visible talent on both teams, it was a good game, and the right team won. Last night he comes in and suddenly has knowledge of every series. He's asking questions about the teams and we watched parts of Pittsburgh-NYI and Ottawa-Montreal. And now he's asking me when they release the Blue Jackets schedule for next season because he wants to buy a 6 game pack.

One montage made him more of a hockey fan than I could in a year and a half of living with him.

The history and drama of the greatest game on this planet will do that...

...now once he goes to a game? It's over, Johnny.

Hook, line, and sinker...

Video montages with proper music are a very powerful medium, if done correctly. I hope you both enjoy hockey from now on.

Toucher and Rich led me to that montage yesterday. Just absolutely fantastic montage. You have to nearly hate the game of hockey not to get chills.
