Today is chock full of playoff hockey. So far every game has been at least close for the majority of the game. First up, is the Coyotes-Red Wings series in about an hour. That's followed up by a double-header with the Penguins travelling to Ottawa which Damien Cox hilariously called a loud building. Sure, when the Leafs are in town. The second half is the third game of the always interesting Devils-Flyers series. The game is in Philadelphia so we'll see what fresh disgustingness their fans can conjure up. Baseball fans invented the "make yourself puke on an 11 year old girl". Your move hockey fans. And then the final game of the day will feature the Blackhawks looking to even their series with the Predators. And now that I've been reminded the REAL final game is game three between the Sharks and Avalanche.

Phew! And if you need something to read, just head over the jump.
