#GoJetsGo and #TexasHockey kick off their heavyweight battle tonight... which team advances to the Western Conference Finals?

@CraigJButton gives us his bold prediction.

Great to have @CraigJButton back on for the second round preview. #LeafsForever finally played a playoff style of hockey, #RaiseUp will need someone to step up to Tom Wilson, and you'll have to listen to hear the rest!

It will be a two game suspension for Ekblad.

[NHL Wraparound Podcast @NHLWraparound]

#TimeToHunt Defenseman Aaron Ekblad had a phone hearing Tuesday for this hit on #GoBolts Forward Brandon Hagel, who will miss at least the next game.

Even though referee Jon McIssac turns in the direction of Ekblad and Hagel, Marchand and Glendening pass right in front of McIssac for the entire sequence and would explain why it could be missed. Chris Rooney, the back official, may not have had as good a look from distance.

Not the best of nights for two teams looking to feed off the momentum of their previous games. The big guns for #TexasHockey play a major role in giving the Stars a 3-2 series lead while the #GoBolts are stunned late and also lose a player to a high hit just after returning from a one-game suspension.
