Thoughts on 2010 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Thus Far

Watching the New Jersey Devils lose in the 1st round, again, made me smile I must say after another successful regular 2009-10 season. I was surprised with Jacques Lemaire’s announced retirement from coaching. This makes the third season in a row that the Devils lost in the 1st round and next year will make the fourth coach search in five seasons. Another pleasant surprise was watching Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals lose on home ice in Game 7 to the Montreal Canadiens. I’m no fan of Scott Gomez or Ovie as at time he’s just too dirty and gets away with murder. Ovechkin went coast-to-coast with the puck late in the 3rd period and was stopped on a nice wrist shot. The Presidents’ Trophy winner Captials were sent packing. It would have been nice seeing the Phoenix Coyotes advance to the 2nd round after such a great year and playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings.
