    Default Playoffs already faster

    I know that playoff are more intense but it just seems already after first games it is way faster than regular season. If this is just the start then it is going to be a tremendous next 2 months. What do others think.

    I'm thinking the Western conference is going to take 2 weeks longer to play than the East... StL and Chi aren't going to finish their series until June.

    Good hockey though, love the pace.

    Best time of the year. About 60 days worth of binge drinking and going into work late with these late night overtimes.

    If anyone of you have any friends who are on the fence about hockey, just get them to turn on the TV. The last two nights have been tremendous.

    Yep, I noticed this right off the hop. I just wanted to flip between games and found myself unable to turn from one to the next. Way easier to do that during the season

    Totally. Right off the bat, the Montreal-Tampa game opens the playoffs with a bang.

    Second night, the game I was waiting for most was Col-Minny and it didnt disappoint either, and then Chi-Stl goes triple OT or whatever it was? Awesome.

    The playoffs are amazing!

    Exactly, would have loved to watch the last minute of Col game, but was watching STL game and didn't want to miss anything there, then flipped to sportscentre to see Col comback, unbelievable. Going to need a new remote after this playoff, especially if I am in the running in some of my pools.

    Having 2 (or more) TVs helps! Have one game running in 1 room, and another game in another. Lol! Thank goodness, the mrs. is a fan of hockey and does not complain.

    My favourite thing so far is how close all the games have been. There have been 13 games so far, nine of them have been one-goal contests, and that doesn't include last night's Colorado-Minnesota game where there was an empty net.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid
