Isles and canes are locked in a serious goalie war. I kind of wish mrazek and lehner could both get shutouts.

Jordan Staal with the OT winner and that bunch of jerks did it again.
1-0 in OT, the perfect hockey game in my opinion.

Okay, now that I have settled down and am somewhat more rational, I will repeat what I said halfway through the first round....I would not want to have to play St. Louis, that is a pretty good team right now. Oh, and Babs is an arrogant idiot who would rather lose than admit he was wrong and change.
Can ev1 please stop grabbing their mouth when they take a high stick to the side of the helmet. 
Interesting stat from ESPN.com that doesn't bode well for the Sharks.....
The Sharks put four goals past Colorado Avalanche goalie Philipp Grubauer through the first two periods of Game 1. The last time he gave up at least three goals? The Avs' Game 1 loss at the Calgary Flames in the opening round. He wouldn't give up more than two for the rest of the series – or lose again, for that matter.

Bobrovsky is unreal. 
No matter the outcome.

Yup. Dude's standing on his head. But Good Rask seems to have shown up for the playoffs so far, so...
I hope 2OT doesn't last long. I'm sleepy.
Holy Moly! That was a barn burner. I can't wait for the return to Columbus.
I'm guessing you mean between periods. During the regular season, the OT period is only 5 minutes, so they don't bother running the Zamboni out.
But in the playoffs, each OT period can be 20 minutes long (same as regular periods). So they need to re-surface the ice. By the end of a 20 minute period, the ice gets pretty choppy. So resurfacing makes for better hockey, as well player safety.
Sure, I get the between period cleaning, but they resurfaced at the ten minute mark of OT last night.
I was in attendance at the Buffalo vs. New Jersey game 1994.
Four OT's. The concessions were going empty by the second.
After the third one, I got lucky when the guy pulled out a final, soggy can of Coors from a bus pan. Good times.
It was manual, with squeegees. Not a full Zamboni.
Like you're in your car at a stoplight in a sketchy neighborhood?
And I think "Full Zamboni" would make an excellent band name.
And what's the deal with that car in the corner at Barclays?
I know, probably a display or giveaway, but I've always disliked it.
This. After 20 minutes of playoff hockey, there's so much ice shavings piled up (mostly in front of the goal) that it noticeably slows the puck down. Makes for really sloppy play.
Besides that, if the players were denied their 15 minute break before OT, they'd scream.
