That was an interesting opening night in the NHL playoffs. I wasn't surprised that the Red Wings lost their opener (on the road), but I certainly didn't expect the Flyers to come back from an 0-3 deficit to defeat the Penguins (and in Pittsburgh). I also thought that the Kings' victory in Vancouver was a bit unexpected. I watched almost that entire game, and it was a good one. With slightly less than three minutes to play, the Canucks turned the puck over and the Kings capitalized. Give credit too to the Kings' ability to kill off penalties. When they got a penalty with about six or so minutes left in regulation, Vancouver poured it on, and the Kings were up to the task.
The Red Wings game was a good one too. The incident where Shea Weber pounded Zetterberg's head into the glass was the focus of a few sports programs this morning. I don't know if the league will take any action (my guess is that they will not). But the retaliation will be interesting to see. I'm guessing that Bertuzzi will probably be on call.
