Oilers Beat Ducks, 7 to 1: Series Tied 3 Games Each

I didn't see last night's Game 6 of the Ducks vs Edmonton, but the Ducks were on their home ice in Anaheim and they went into game 6 leading the series 3 - 2.

All things would seem to be Ducky, yes?

Well, not really as the Oilers beat the Ducks, 7 to 1. Seven...to...one...that's 7 to 1. I don't know how this happens. It is the biggest score gap, thus far, in this year's playoff.

Game 7 is Wednesday night in...Anaheim. The city of Anaheim and Honda Center are going to be Rocking and setting new "highs" in Richter Scale numbers.

The Ducks' Kevin Bieksa and Ondrej Kase didn't get any ice time sitting out the game due to injuries, and the Oilers had Andrej Sekera and Oscar Klefbom not seeing ice due to injuries. But for the Ducks...having two injured doesn't really answer or rationalize being beaten 7 to 1.

Oiler goalie Cam Talbot had 34 saves for Edmonton. That pretty much says it all.

Six point differences in scores aren't the norm in hockey.

Washington plays in Pittsburgh tonight in game 6, the Penguins leading the series 3 - 2.

I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to believe that my playoff picks of the winning team and the score are trending with me being wrong more often than right. And this does not surprise me. At all.

The Penguins have to put it away at home tonight, otherwise they play on the Caps ice on Wednesday night. And Caps fans are going to be brutal - and I mean that in the best way; Caps fans and the volume inside Verizon Center will be deafening (lame-ass pun intended...).

Tonight's score: Pens 4 - Caps 3 in one OT.
