Saturday's Dump & Chase: Crosby Sinks Senators
In Game 1, the Senators were able to keep Sidney Crosby off the scoreboard. Not so in Game 2. Ottawa's going to have to figure out what to do, and quick, if they hope to get back in this series.

The better team won in Boston, no doubt. But the Sharks-Kings series is a bit of a surprise. Although I guess it shouldn't be. The Sharks have plenty of puzzling early post-season exits on their resumé and the Kings have been streaky.
So Darth Vader shows up at a Maple Leafs game... It's your job to fill in the punchline. And, go!
Two battle-hardened defensive stalwarts meet in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, as the #4 seed Boston Bruins host the #6 seed New York Rangers tonight in Game One.
This Hawks-Wings series is a bit like watching a fight between Justin Bieber and Ryan Seacrest...it doesn't matter who wins, but you'd like to see both sides suffer a lot of damage. And Chicago did the most in Game 1 with a pretty easy 4-1 victory.
An old rivalry is rekindled as the #1 seed Chicago Blackhawks meet #7 Detroit in the playoffs for the 16th time in the storied history of these two franchises. Chicago holds a 8-7 edge in series victories, but can the Red Wings even it up?
The Penguins went back to being the Penguins in a pretty dominating performance, while the Kings blanked the Sharks 2-0 in the late game. Convincing wins, but I think both these series are going at least 6.
The defending Stanley Cup champs drew a familiar foe in the Western Conference Semifinals with division rival San Jose. These two talented teams will put a spotlight on Sunbelt Hockey in what should be a highly entertaining, competitive series.
The #1 Eastern Conference seed Pittsburgh Penguins survived a tough series against the New York Islanders in the opening round, but carry a critical goaltending question into this series against the #7 Ottawa Senators.
Wow. What a horrible loss by Toronto. Just sick. A fantastic comeback from down 3-1 in the series, but they just ran out of gas. And don't think we've forgotten about you, Washington. Two chances to finish the series, and you're shut out both times.
