There was a surprise on the first day of the NHL playoffs as Calgary held on to a 3-2 victory over San Jose on the road with Kiprusoff stopping 37 shots. San Jose's psyche has not been strong, as we've learned during their loss to the Red Wings, so this is something to watch for. Pittsburgh was all over Ottawa 4-0, which was no surprise as Ottawa kind of backed their way into the playoffs after a very strong beginning to the season. Rangers continued their dominance of the Devils winning 4-1 in New Jersey. And Joe Sakic added to his record of game winning overtime goals with the 8th overtime GWG in the 1st overtime to lift Colorado over Minnesota 3-2.
