I'd never really watched this sport until a mate at work, who's a passionate Penguins fan, got me into it a few months back.

It's a wild game! Well worth watching!

Penguins are Black 'n White... that's good enough for me Cool

Too bad the Pens wear Yellow with the black and white.

You'd have to go for the LA Kings if basing it on team colours, but technically they are black, white and silver.

I've been watching since the late 80's. My mum is Canadian, so its right up there with AFL in our family.

You haven't lived until you've seen it live. Those exhibition games they brought to Melb recently were horrible. If you can get to the Icehouse to see the Melb Ice or Melb Mustangs, it's not too bad if you can get a seat.

Living in the UK at the moment, I've been going to see the Milton Keynes Lightning when I can. I've also been to some games in Europe, but not too many.

But nothing compares to NHL. Pens are one of the teams I haven't seen yet. Would like to say I've seen Crosby and Ovi live before they give it away.

Also, if you decide to stick with the Pens, you should watch the documentary "24/7 Penguins/Capitals: Road To The Winter Classic". It's from 2011, but it's a corker of a series.

It's worth watching, even if you are not a Pens/Caps or NHL fan.

There are similar docos from other years, but I think this is the only one they've released on DVD. The others you'd have to stream somewhere.

Well my fave player was traded. Sad

Funnily enough he went to "my east coast team". Which is Ottawa. They have a small chance to make the finals. But then again, I dont know if they could overcome the Capitals.

Something tells me this is finally Ovi's year.

The season has come to an end and the playoff match ups have been set.

In the west;

Anaheim vs Calgary.
Edmonton vs San Jose.
Chicago vs Nashville.
Minnesota vs St Louis.

In the east;

Washington vs Toronto.
Pittsburgh vs Columbus.
Montreal vs NY Rangers.
Ottawa vs Boston.

From here, I'll be going for the Senators as my team finished with the second worst recorded in the league and just fired their coach. My fave player also got traded to Ottawa earlier in the season so..... Go Sens.

Fantastic game is hockey, if you ever get a chance to go to a game, do it, it is far better live than on TV.

First round over.

In the west;

Anaheim vs Calgary. Flames swept.
Edmonton vs San Jose. Ten years of tanking finally paying off for the Oilers.
Chicago vs Nashville. Massive upset with Chicago winless in the series.
Minnesota vs St Louis. Small upset.

In the east;

Washington vs Toronto. Leafs giving Caps a small scare. Stand up Ovi ffs!
Pittsburgh vs Columbus. Pens made short work of the Jackets.
Montreal vs NY Rangers. Ranged a WC, but equal on points. (Flawed system?)
Ottawa vs Boston. Best series of the opening round imo.

Pens thrash Preds in game 5 and take a 3-2 series lead.

Pens win game 6 and it's all over. Can Nashville force a game 7?
