The NHL playoff has officially arrived. All the excitement is brewing up to be something special. The action in last night’s games was fantastic. This is sure to be an incredible postseason with very few boring matchups.
After the first night of playoff hockey all of the lower seeded teams with the exception on Nashville won the first game. Two of the four games went into at least a double overtime. Three of the four games were won by only one goal. Goalies were huge. Tomas Vokoun kept his team in the game early on, while his opponent Evgeni Nabokov made key great saves late in the game. No surprise to everyone: the brilliant play of Roberto Luongo in goal and the great touch passing of Joe Thornton.
Will Sidney Crosby be able to get his team back on track?
