1. When it comes to a pair of teams being even in a series the Oilers-Kings battle sure fills the bill. Edmonton's late comeback and OT winner last night could be a major demoralizer for LA.
2. Tampa Bay at Florida tonight is The Maven's Monday "Game To See" because nobody wins at home in this series.
3. I don't know about you but I can't find a single goaltender to really-really rave about so far in the postseason.
4. Connor Hellebuyck was the guy I was counting on but not anymore.
5. Buffalo is one of the best hockey towns on the continent. That's why it's hard to believe that the city now is in the midst of a 14-year playoff drought. UN-REAL!
6. Best Playoff Story – So Far: The amazing comeback of Gabriel Landeskog from a knee injury that had cost him three full regular seasons could have been career ending. But this determined fellow is back in action.
7. Detroit is another super hockey town which is why it's painful to think that the Wings have not made a playoff appearance since 2015-16. (Some Yzer Plan!)
8. Among sources of pressure – and worry – in Edmonton is the fact that Draisaitl and McDavid are inching closer to free agency.
Hot Playoff Stuff That Rangers Fans Need To Know
<b>1.</b> Remember when the Blueshirts could have nabbed Jake Guentzel and didn't? All he's doing now is powering the Lightning offense. (Oh, by the way, Sir Drury, thanks for the oversight.)
9. Of all the playoff coaches, Marty St. Louis is the most tender and soft-spoken when ripping the refs. (Man, that's an art.)
10. The Rangers remain undefeated in the postseason;' except on the golf course!
