Best of 7 Western Conference Semifinal tied 2-2.

Calgary and Detroit repeat the results of game three as once again the Red Wings emerge victorious in a barn burner despite being outshot. Alexander Ovechkin is this evening's OT answer in the #bucciovertimechallenge.

Rumors of a second round playoff exit for Phoenix appear to be a bit hasty. Los Angeles' offense is completely shut down as the 'Yotes dominance yields only 13 Kings shots.

Chatter in league circles posits that Dustin Brown could finally return to the LA lineup in either game five or six.

I'm speechless.

My guess is, looking at Kipper's attributes, back to back terrible games is as bad as it can get.
I need to win next game, no joke.

Another SH OT winner!

#DetroitStrong!

Outshot 33-13 and outscored 5-1 at home, really LA?

I am speechless too. The fans must have went wild. Hope they didn't break anything.

This looks like the Chicago series again...

Well that MOSTLY makes up for Bryzgalov's epic bedshitting in Game 2. Good to see Doan heating up as well; he can't afford to take a back seat in this series. Home ice "advantage" is ours again. And Basaraba, holy crap.

Korpikoski will be back next game too. This may not be as critical as Dustin Brown's return, but Korpi nevertheless has been one of my most consistent producers all season. Professor Higgins has put up some points, but that plus-minus is pretty ugly. He's definitely not my first choice to centre the line going up against Crosby et al.
