Should be two really good matchups.

Starts tonight...

San Jose vs. Vancouver

Boston vs. Tampa Bay

And best of all...no Detroit.

Pretty convincing win by the Bolts tonight. They'll bounce back, but I have a feeling my Bruins pick might be wrong...

My canadian buddy and I are going to game 4 in SJ. First time I get to see playoff hockey live

shame it's not the blues. Worst part, I'll be rooting for the Canucks - no way the SJ Chokers can be a good matchup for the teams coming out of the east, esp if it's the Lightning.

So your saying you want Vancouver to win the cup or just want to see a good final?

Lightnings' 8th straight playoff win. They are CRUISING right now. I couldn't bet against that type of momentum (7 straight even before last night) so my gut is they're going to take care of business. Maybe not a sweep but this thing isn't going to 7 IMO

Had my sisters wedding this weekend and never managed to make third round predictions, but as bad as my picks had been, it's not as if it matters.

Man. Ben Eager just solidified my hatred for the Sharks. Who taunts a goalie when you are down 7-3 and going down 2-0 in games??? And how was that not goalie interference?

How do "veteran" referees keep missing high sticks next to puck carriers???

Keep your head up Eager...

Couldnt find the uncensored video to link to, they were clearly shown on CBCs telecast for a good 5 seconds though.

Much easier on the eyes than those Green Men tools.

Nice to see San Jose dominate Vancouver in the first period. An alarming amount of Vancouver jerseys in the crowd though. The bandwagon must have rolled through northern California.

Sorry to see Jamal didn't tiger-stripe his eyebrows again.

That major penalty that was not even boarding almost cost the Sharks the game... I hate these teams, but I would rather Vancouver goes home now...

Not looking good for San Jose when you don't score on 5 straight power plays and then give up 3 straight 5 on 3 goals.

I'm so torn on these playoffs I don't even know what the hell to hope for. I'm still leaning towards Boston. I know about the early history of the Blues, and "The Goal" and all that, but Vancouver pisses me off, San Jose pisses me off, the fact that Tampa Bay has a team pisses me off, so I'm all about the original 6 right now.

Portland Blues · Post by **Portland Blues** » Sun May 22, 2011 3:52 pm

Way to lose 4-2 San Jose! Oh, and Vancouver only had 13 shots for the entire game.

I'm on the Boston bandwagon.

I'm pretty sure that's actually Wayne Newton singing the anthem in Boston.

Let's Go Blues
