No. I was watching the pregame on the Pens RSN ROOT and just as 4:30PDT rolled around I got blacked out and redirected to NBC Sports.
Thoughts on first games of the playoffs anyone?
Impressive win for Nashville.
At least the Kings won't get swept out in four games. Nice game for them last night. A goal from PENNER?????
I just KNEW when the Pens were up 3-0 in the 1st period that it would not hold. The memories of last Sunday's game was too fresh in my mind. This will be a grinder through 7 games.

That I knew...I was more thinking the other way around which satjay confirmed. If its on the local RSN and you're in that market you are blacked out of the national broadcast
I don't expect the Wings to go any farther this year, too banged up going it.
They were on a nice roll then late in the season 1/2 the team got injured while many are back they are not jelled like they were earlier.
What was you guys thoughts on the Pred's Weber slamming the Wings Zetterberg 's head into the glass twice, intentionally ?
He was fines $ 2500 and told not to do it again ... thats it.

I agree.
However, had Shanahan came down and given him a suspension of say 1-2 games, the cry would have been that he was playing favorites helping his former Wings team.
Then again, what happens if something breaks out in the next game, do you siuspend the player for something that might not be as bad and let Webers play stand ?
I think the problem with this ruling was the fact that Shanahan talked with the Wings and found that Zetterberg would play in game 2 and decided to do NOTHING.
Even though the intent was CLEAR that he was trying to injure him.
I think the judgement should have came down without any bearing on what the status of Zetterberg is.
What, if he ended up with a concussion and was out for a week or longer, he would have suspended him ?
This is why Shanahan should not be in the position that he is. They need to have somebody to enforce the rules that has not been associated with any team.
I personally think that he should have gotten 2 games for what was done.
Only problem with that is, you DO want someone that HAS played the game and been in those scrums, vs someone that has never played.
Maybe someone that has been out of the league 15 years or so, so he's not automatically attached to his former teams
I would love to see a pre-accident Konstantinov suit up. I believe we would have won another cup or two if not for the unfortunate events that unfolded that evening.
