The Slovakian* goaltender is crafting a special playoff performance for the Montreal Canadiens, first by willing them past top-seeded Washington in the Eastern ...

First, let's start with a general premise: National Hockey League playoff series are often unpredictable and sometimes just flat out wild.
That doesn't mean anybody thought the top-seeded Washington Capitals would choke away a 3-1 lead to the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, culminating in a 2-1 loss in ...

Has it really been that long since we last met to discuss these fine playoffs? Well I guess so. There was the weekend. And that whole virus thing we had going on here, but other than that things are swell.

Here's the question, if it's not on national television like, say, ESPN, do you even notice the Stanley Cup Playoffs are going on? We're going to go out on a limb and say you do, barely.
But just in case you're not paying particularly close attention to what Barry Melrose has ...
