April 13 Playoffs Open Thread Live Blog

Like years past, throughout this post-season, I will post an open thread or a live blog every day there are playoff games. Unlike in years past, I will hope to do more live blogs than before. I would anticipate the first one of these coming up on Friday or Saturday, though it is certainly fair to say that my mind is not made up yet. Regardless, here is your open thread for today. NBA Playoffs do not start until Saturday so it is all NHL for today, tomorrow, and Friday. Enjoy the games and leave comments!
