Washington/Pittsburgh:

Odd Fact: Team that scores first has lost every single game.
Varlamov looked very, very human.
Still not sure about Ovechkin’s knee on knee with Gonchar. Apparently no supplementary disclipline will be forthcoming.

Boston/Carolina:

Odd Fact: Every time Staal scores the Canes have won the game.
Boston has lost all 21 series that they trailed 3 games to 1.
Staal & Ward were beasts for Carolina tonight.
Being a healthy scratch was very helpful for Samsanov tonight.

Ongoing Phoenix Saga Daily Tidbit:

Daly: NHL controls Coyotes, 3 local owner options. Highlight of the interview:

SL: Bottom line, do you think that next season there will be a franchise in Phoenix?

BD: Yes, I do.

SL: What about three years from now?

BD: Yes, I do.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
