I have not watched any of these games. Nights out and lots of work make me a bad sport blogger.

23 Vancouver at 4 Dallas YES
Dallas is proving to be resilient. They can't be letting other teams build leads every game and expect to win, but they can believe they are never out of a game. They have a lot of weapons. Sharp getting two shows they have a few different players that can get hot. You can fault Ryan Miller on that first goal (truly, Sharp is one of those guys who seems to get these goals...his release?) but none of the others were his fault. Vancouver has a good team. But until they make it really difficult in their own zone, they won't be great.

1 Montreal at 22 Edmonton NOPE
Great seeing this Edmonton team growing up. They were shutout in the first but they had opportunities in front. Montreal's 3rd goal was an amazing pass from Markov. The feel of the game in the second had Edmonton playing that intense playoff hockey style - Montreal was countering. Fun hockey. To watch Edmonton come back and win it - wow! I love hockey.
