I think we're poised to see one hell of an ECF.

Dustin Penner taken out for a month as more bad blood continues between the Bolts and the Canes. Both the Canes and Pens win on the road tonight to take away home ice advantage and head to their friendly confines with a tied series.

To those not involved, enjoy the 17 or whatever new draftees in the file. Check the updated cap numbers based on Exhibit 5 bonuses for the teams eliminated in the first round.

Stamkos and Stall drop the gloves for a 2nd consecutive game with the same result, Stamkos dummying him. I hope its out of his system and he goes back to lightning the lamp in Raleigh.
