… Washington came back from a two-goal deficit to defeat Philadelphia 5-4 last night in Game 1 of their series. Who had the game-winner? Alexander Ovechkin, following a Pavel Datsyuk-like steal.
… A very unfortunate event from that game: Philadelphia’s Patrick Thoresen took a Mike Green shot off a very bad place and as a result, he had to be taken to the hospital. Green went on to score seconds later, after the play was not stopped.
… As a blogger covering the decidedly anti-New Media Detroit Red Wings, I can’t even fathom being in this position.
… So the Senators haven’t completely given up on each other after all. They still lost, though.
… The Wild/Avs series went to overtime for the second time. This time it was Minnesota that scored, tying the series 1-1.
… The Devils lost 2-1 to the Rangers last night and fell behind 2-0 in their series. Lou Lamoriello was not happy with the officiating.
