Stanley Cup Playoffs May 2nd 2012

Two games last night and one became an instant classic even though the Rangers won.  The Capitals and Rangers Eastern conference semi-final game 3 went into 3 Overtime periods before it was settled 2-1 and Ranger series lead of 2 games to 1

   

The Western Conference semi-finals saw the Nashville Predators awaken finally at home in game 3 of their series.   The Preds took a 2-0 victory of the Phoenix Coyotes but the 'Yotes still have a 2-1 series lead.

Flyers @ Penguins 04/20/12 Game 5 Stanley Cup Playoffs

In a departure from the previous 4 games this was a real defensive battle (so to speak) and again when the Pens give the flyers a PowerPlay they scored...but finally on the 3rd PP chance the stopped them and this seemed to give the Pens a lift. The Flyers didnt make it easy but Fluery flashed some pads in the third and kept the one goal lead.
