Playoffs Day 1

Day one in the playoffs was a good one and didn't have too many surprises. The first game was the Lightning and Red Wings and it was a close physical game, but the Lightning prevailed 3-2. The Lightning's goal scorers were Nikita Kucherov with the first two and Alex Killorn scoring the game winner. The Red Wings had Mike Green and Justin Abdelkader scoring.  The Rangers and Penguins played with the Penguins wearing their gold alternate, but had Hornqvist score a hat trick, Sidney Crosby scoring a breakaway goal, Kuhnakel putting one in in a 5-2 victory and for the Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist getting injured by teammate Eric Staal so backup Annti Raanta played the rest of the game. The scorers were just Stepan with two. The Blues and Blackhawks played a close game which was scoreless all game until David Backes had a lucky break and snuck one past Corey Crawford. The Blues got out shot throughout the game. For the Blackhawks, they get Duncan Keith back and they can kind of hold off without him. Will the Lightning continue to play well without Stamkos? Is Lundqvist's injury going to be bad? Are the Blues now in trouble with Duncan Keith coming back? stay tuned.... P.S I will be posting almost everyday for the playoffs!
