Okay, the Penguins have already won the series and now are waiting patiently for Washington to dispatch the Rangers so Sid and his crew can move on to round three. Wow, are there a lot of bandwagon jumpers in the Pens camp all of a sudden! The 2nd period of the first game isn't even half way over and people are already willing to write off the Flyers? Sure the Pens are looking good, but just because Sid The Kid scored his first goal early, don't put Philly on the shelf just yet. Fleury hasn't really even been tested yet and the Flyers have only had one real power play in the first game of the series. There a lot of hockey to play...
Just look at the score in the Caps-Rangers game 3-2 Rangers (Scott Gomez has a goal, 2 assists). Ovechkin has scored and Viktor Kozlov scored his first ever playoff goal (yep, 21 playoff games with Panthers, Devils, Islanders and now Capitals and the guy who broke into the league with the Sharks with much fanfare in '94-95 finally gets a playoff goal to go with his 6 playoff assists.)
Over in New Jersey, Martin Brodeur is looking pretty solid (big sigh of relief from Devils fans) as the Devils have jumped out into a 3-0 lead on goals by Mike Mottau, Zach Parise and Elias. Sure, Brodeur has only faced nine shots, but through 2 periods he's got the goose egg.
