So far, after looking at all the posts, I am wondering whether or not I am in the Guy Fieri thread.

We're only 17 years in the NHL, but I hope the Blue Jackets put up a good fight towards the cup.

Bear with me
I am an avid sports fan but, shamefully lacking in hockey smarts.
As some of you know, Logan (9) started playing football last year and being a big, strong kid he is excelling at it and loves the physicality. This off-season, he has been engrossed in the NHL.
We are going to watch the playoffs together and he is already adding to my limited hockey lexicon.
I said we need a team to root for and asked if we should pick the Blue Jackets out of loyalty for Ohio.
He said "OK but I think it will be the Caps or Penguins."
I'm just going to listen to him and write what he tells me to in this thread.
Colour me suitably impressed.

Always love the Hockey Playoff thread Lab.
My Canadians didn't make the show last year.
I'll say, Habs Win the Cup in 2017 !!!

So much for the Bruins chances. I'm with labworm. What will it take for you to root for the Caps? I can have my mom make you some of her famous eggplant parmigiana.

Malkin in the lineup for the Pens tonight. That's a blessing as long as he doesn't retaliate everytime someone looks at him wrong.
Should be a physical series. They'll need extra Kleenex on the Columbus bench for Torts whenever the calls don't go his way!

Columbus has shown a lot of grit this year to go along with the ability to score. Tortorella is definitely an acquired taste, we Rangers fans suffered through highs and lows with him.
I usually give him the benefit of the doubt for his love of animals and this classic tirade that had my wife and me rolling:
John Tortorella Post Game Whining April 5, 2012 "Penguins Arrogance" - YouTube
Good luck to all but mostly, Let's Go Rangers!

Blue Jackets in five?
What is going on in the AHL?
Syracuse Crunch made the playoff roster. I wonder if they'll get some of the Lightning replacements back?
This is the anniversary of the last Crunch Calder Cup win, versus the Philly Ramblers.

And it begins. All the food pictures are tempting, my cardiologist would go nuts if she thought I was eating that stuff. A splurge for me is a bag of spicy potato chips from 7-11 (whoo-hooo) Tonight's game is going to be tough, I've rooted for both teams all season, and now one of my favorites is guaranteed to be eliminated in the first round. Oh well, just hope it goes to 7.

Upon picking Logan up from school, I told him that the playoffs are on, Nana has laid in a supply of Scoobysnacks, Yoohoo and beer and we would stop and let him get any NHL hoodie he wanted. No questions asked.
I'm speechless!
So, I'm wondering if it's too late to ask for a refund?
On the kid, I mean.

Looks like the Montreal game plan is to run into Lundquist as often as possible. No calls yet. Guaranteed the first time Kreider goes by Price he'll be in the sin bin.

End of 1. Still 1-0 Rangers.
Couple bad penalties taken by Rangers but they were able to weather the storm. (So far.)

Last year I could only watch games on broadcast channels...so not much. No cable. No satellite. Just signed up for Sling TV on my firestick. Helllllllooo hockey. Watching Rangers/Canadiens. This gives more of a kick than a mule on meth.
Oh...and General Tso provided tonight's hockey cuisine.

Still Rangers after a much better 2nd period! WHEW!
A lot of heavy hits going on, it could get UGLY!
Now switch to the Blue Jackets/Pens.
Gotta love this game called hockey!

Somebody's gotta stop Kessel! Pens up by two.
He is on a tear (again). Seems to bring his A+ game come playoff time.

Not one shot by the Bruins in the 2nd. Not good. Maybe the coach will throw a chair in the dressing room.

Oh-Oh!
Pens up by 3 after two periods. Not looking good for Columbus.
As I said last year, not a fan of Pittsburgh.
