Thoughts After Game 1's

Except for Chicago/Nashville starting tonight...we have a little sense of how each series is going to shape up over the next couple of weeks

Pit/Ott: Game #1 proved the gap between the 2 teams is not as big as some may have suggested...both teams have tons of room 4 improvement...

Was/Mon: Did the Caps take the Habs lightly? The Habs can't keep Ovechkin off the shot count or the score sheet forever...good start though!

NJ/Phi: The Flyers put up only 14 shots and won...goes 2 show that goaltending gap between Brodeur and Boucher is not as big as suggested...

Bos/Buf: A great preview of what we'll see for the rest of this series...Ryan Miller and Tuukka Rask dominating...it's going 2 be a grind...

SJ/Col: Uh-oh! Could this be another demise of the Sharks 4 yet another season? Probably not....but the questions are being asked already...

Van/LA: Like I figured, both teams are pretty evenly split...first game goes to overtime...questions answered by both Bobby Lou and J. Quick

Pho/Det: The Coyotes proved 2 be a resilient team once again by winning the first game of the series...they just keep proving everyone wrong
