Happy times are here again.

Playoff hockey. There is no more intense a situation.

Even my roommate, who is not a hockey fan at all, was even impressed with the intensity of last nights first round games.

You can take Barry Melrose's word for it, or mine.

Breakin em down.

Eastern Confrence:

The Pens and the Rangers were winners on Wednesday night.

I think that the defending Eastern Conference Senators are cooked. They're hurt, and the Pens have experience in key positions. It will be up to Marc Andre Fleury to play some good hockey, and this unknown kid to step up his game.

The Rangers have too much firepower and a goalie who can steal a game. The most overrated goaltender in the NHL has met his match.

Western Conference:

Melrose Breakdown.

Super Joe Sakic scored his ninth overtime goal to take a 1 -0 lead on the Wild.

Jose Theodore was solid in net, but the Avs' defense needs to step up if they will win the series, and the offense needs to find a way to continue to generate strong offensive scoring chances to keep it a short series.

The Flames took a bite out of the sharks, grabbing a one game series lead. It wont last, the sharks are too good.
