The NHL Playoffs
So a few posts ago I talked about the NHL playoffs and how each series has been very entertaining so far, especially with all the fights that have been going on. The playoffs continue to entertain as the opening series' start to come to an end.
The Penguins VS Flyers series has been one of the most entertaining so far. The Flyers won the first three games, but in game four, the Penguins answered back with this ridiculous ten goal game to win game four. The Penguins also went on to win game five, so the series is currently tied 3-2. The video above shows the highlights of the game in which the Penguins scored ten goals. 
Besides for the ten goal game by Pittsburgh, most of the games have been close and a few games have gone into overtime. The second game of the Senators VS Rangers series went into overtime, and the video above shows how the game ended. The goal by Kyle Turris above is not only one of the best shots of the playoffs, but also probably one of the best goals of the whole season. It's not the greatest video to see the goal, but Turris shot the puck right over the left shoulder of the goalie. Judging by his reaction, I don't even know if he was expecting the puck to go in, but that just makes the goal and the win that much sweeter.


Now I don't exactly know what happened to Alexander Ovechkin right here. Originally I thought he just got hit really hard on the ice and was just too out of it, but that isn't what happened. I don't really know why he fell, maybe he was just to exhausted to get over the wall. Can't really make fun of the guy though; he's one of the best players in the league. Just goes to show you that the playoffs aren't only entertaining with the fights, overtime, and high scoring; they also have things like this going for them.
