    Oh, and for the love of all that is good and holy, ONE MORE, BRUINS! PLEASE!

    I've got 4 Game 5s for you, they are as follows:

    All series could end tonight, find out if any of them did.

    New York Islanders @ New Jersey Devils

    1st period:

    2nd period:

    Not a lot of action in this period, no scoring, few shots, 10 for the Devils, 9 for the Isles. Time was starting to run out for the Devils, who absolutely needed a tying goal...

    3rd period:

    OT:

    The Isles need to stop the bleeding now, because as we found out this year, the Devils sucked early, but once they got going, they were damn near unstoppable.

    Score: NJD 2 - 1 NYI (OT)

    Total shots: NJD 37 - 33 NYI

    Total PIM: NJD 2 - 8 NYI

    3 stars:

    #1 Martin Brodeur (32 saves)

    #2 Ilya Kovalchuk (GTG, A)

    #3 David Clarkson (OT winner)

     

    Colorado Avalanche @ St.-Louis Blues

    1st period:

    2nd period:

    3rd period:

    Score: STL 2 - 1 COL

    Total shots: STL 25 - 27 COL

    Total PIM: STL 17 - 11 COL

    3 stars:

    #1 Jaroslav Halak (26 saves)

    #2 Adam Cracknell (GWG)

    #3 T.J. Oshie (G)

     

    Florida Panthers @ Toronto Maple Leafs.

    1st period:

    2nd period:

    3rd period:

    Look for things to get even more intense next game when Hordichuk hops back onto the ice, as the Leafs will be looking for revenge. I've never seen anyone get a suspension in the game, which is strange. Well... it's close enough to reality I guess. Yeah, I went there.

    Score: TOR 1 -4 FLA

    Total shots: TOR 29 - 33 FLA

    Total PIM: TOR 6 - 23 FLA

    3 stars:

    #1 Niclas Bergfors (GWG, A)

    #3 Sergei Samsonov (G)

     

    Columbus Blue Jackets @ Minnesota Wild

    1st period:

    2nd period:

    3rd period:

    OT:

    This was an amazing battle, both teams were desperate for this win, and both teams deserved it, but the Wild came out on top. The series has ended, 4-1 for the Wild, second-round bound. It was a goaltender's duel all series long, but this time, it was the cannons versus.. the fangs I guess? Wild... bear... fangs? Whatever.

    Score: MIN 5-4 CBJ (OT)

    Total shots: MIN 31 - 33 CBJ

    Total PIM: MIN 14 - 2 CBJ

    3 stars:

    #1 Brent Burns (OT winner, A )

    #2 Rick Nash (2G)

    #3 Matt Cullen (2G)
