Columbus catches Tampa Bay sleeping to take game 1. Love it.

Just watching the Pittsburg/New York game. The backup goalie is essentially sitting in the stands, down in the corner near the door, as there is no room for him on the bench. Odd set up.

Sharks Vegas up next, I hope they go into OT every game a period or two and pound each other. Jets loose which sucks, but I am no Liane fan fo doesn't bother me much. Would like to see a Canadian team advance though.

Some of the saves tonight are UNREAL. I do like the look of the Arena for the Jets.. That White is amazing.

Imagine what RED will look like in 24 hours.

I think it comes from back in the day When the home team wore white?

But then that doesn't explain the C of Red that was started back in the 80's

The west has a lot bigger teams that like to play smash mouth hockey, the east are more like European hockey, no touch.

Hard to argue with Tampa Bay in the east, but never write off Pittsburgh or the defending cup champs.

In the west St.Lou (they should of won it three times in recent memory) San José another coulda woulda team, I won't be betting on them to win a single round. Would love to see the Jets fly. The sooner the Golden Nights are out the better, same for the make-b-Leaves.

Like mentioned it's the dark horse team ya gotta figure out.

Playoffs are such a different animal it's hard to predict & the hot goalies usually carry their teams to a certain extent.

Canucks coach Roger Nielson started the white flag waiving in '82 after a flurry of bad calls from the refs. They have been surrendering ever since

How bout them Sharks? Dang they handled VGN pretty handily last night.
Kane and Reeves going at each other towards the end. That's a battle I would like to see go down.

IMO Jets are already in a MUST win situation. They need a win tonight, or it's way to steep a hill from there.
Knights need to win as well as we want that series to last.
Pens tie it up tonight , and Lighting destroy tonight after being shown up last game.
Bring on game 2.

It would definitely not be ideal for the Jets to be heading into St. Louis down 0-2.

It was back in the day when home team was white, the C of Red did not start in the 80s though. You can look back at pictures of the Habs winning the cup in Calgary and the crowd was a mix of Red and White. I think the C of Red Started when Kipper took them on a run.

Kinda true.. The rise in Jersey sales was extremely noticeable in 2004. But it was Badger Bob Johnson or Terry Crisp that first used the words "Sea of Red" He spoke of standing on the bench and looking around the dome during a playoff run and describing it as a "Sea of Red"

Someone changed it to "C of Red" and we now have everyone with 1-4 Jerseys in their closet.

You can call me Cliff Claven...

Well we will see what the Bluejackets can do with a 2-0 series lead this year.
Had it last year against the Caps and look what happened.
Go Jets, and I look for the VGN to have a better night tonight.

Took me some looking but here is what I found.

During the Flames' run to the Stanley Cup Finals of 2004, most of the Flames fans attending the hockey games at the Saddledome wore a red jersey with Calgary's flaming C on it.[43] Sales of the Flames red home jersey, introduced at the start of the 2003–04 campaign, were so strong during the playoffs that manufacturer CCM stopped production on all other team jerseys in order to keep up with demand of Flames uniforms.[96] The team set a league record for sales of a new uniform design.[97] The tradition of the C of Red dates back to the 1986 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Oilers. Oiler fans were donning hats promoting "Hat Trick Fever" in their quest for three straight Stanley Cups. Flames fans countered by wearing red. In the 1987 playoffs against Winnipeg, the Jets responded to the C of Red by encouraging fans to wear white, creating the "Winnipeg whiteout".[98] During the Flames' games when "The Star-Spangled Banner" is sung, fans shout the words see and red to signify the "C of Red" theme.

And now you know the rest of the story

I am Paul Harvey... Good Day...
