I have been neglecting the NHL and NBA playoff games in my blog. Since my favorite teams are out, I don't follow them AS closely as I would if the Hurricanes and Bobcats (for now) were in. So in the west, the Kings are up 2-1 over the Sharks, and Detroit is up 2-1 on the Blackhawks. Game 4 of the Kings/Sharks series is tonight in The HP Pavilion, in San Jose. The Sharks won an OT thriller in game 3. The Redwings and Blackhawks take the ice in Joe Louis Arena on Thursday for game 4 of that series. Detroit won 2 in a row and are playing well. In the East, Pittsburgh leads the Ottowa Senators 2-1. The Sens took the Pens to double OT to win in Ottowa on Sunday. Colin Greenburg scored on a backhander 7:39 into the 2nd OT period to keep the series in reach. They face off Wednesday from Scotiabank Place in Ottowa. The Bruins lead the Rangers 2-0. New York also fell behind the Caps 0-2 in round 1, but battled back to win 2 in a row tying the series at 2. The Caps won game 5 but NY took games 6 and 7. Not to disparage the Capitals, but the Bruins are not the Capitals. They are ready to put the Rangers away and if they go up 3-0, it could spell doom for John Totorella's squad. Game 3 is tonight in MSG.
In the NBA, the Pacers and heat face off in the eastern Conference Finals and the Grizzlies and Spurs battle out west. The Spurs lead their series 1-0 after spanking Memphis at the AT&T center 105-83 in game 1. Game 2 is tonight, also in San Antonio. The Pacers and Heat start their series on Wednesday in Miami. Indiana won 2 of the 3 regular season meetings with the Heat.
