HOCKEY PLAYOFFS IN FULL SWING. DEFENDING CHAMPS SHOW GRIT WITH 5-0 ROUT IN VANCOUVER

    It doesn't matter whether you like Hockey a little or a lot, come playoff time even the casual pucks fan turns on the Versus Network (gotta look it up first, ahhhh channel 65 on Time Warner cable) come playoff time.  For the avid Hockey fan you know their will be less fighting and more Hockey from a skill and skating standpoint, so that you and the little ones can watch the games together without your son saying, nock his freaking teeth out!!!.

It even looks like Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals are going to advance out the first round (lost last year to Montreal) while Detroit (won their series) Pittsburgh and San Jose, lead 3-1 in their series and should advance, other series like the Briuns Canadians, Flyers and Sabres series could easily go seven games in the First round.

The series that has changed in a blink of an eye is the Vancouver, Chicago series. The Canucks led by the Sedin twins jumped out to a commanding 3-0 series lead that left the defending champs all but dead. then in game 4 at home and not wanting to lose the series on home ice, the Hawks reeled off 7 goals and even knocked out star goalie Roberto Luongo to extent the series back to Vancouver for a game 5. Then last night when the Barry Melrose's of the world said it ends tonight in vancouver, the Blackhawks showed why they are the defending Stanley cup champs by crushing the canucks 5-0 to force a game 6 back in Chicago.
Can the Blackhawks do the unthinkable and win games 6 and 7....
Stay thirsty my Hawks fans!!!

Happy Easter
