Just a few things that caught my eye:

• I heard beeping -- did you hear it, too? Backing up was just so easy to do for the Rangers' D. Beep. Beep. Beep ...
• So, would Andrew Shaw's head-butt goal been allowed if he'd had his head below his shoulders? Ha -- I had you there for a second. Admit it. #priceless.

• The Bolts made Carey Price look human. Are they doing the same thing to Henrik Lundqvist?
• The Hawks-Ducks' triple-OT game was exactly why I love the West -- big, strong, fast and skilled. It's hard to watch the East after that. And pity the Rangers or the Bolts -- the final will be like leading a lamb to slaughter. Poor, innocent things.
• Stamkos Shmamkos -- the Bolts' Triplet Line are scoring at will. Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov have a combined 25 goals in 16 postseason games.
• Ben Bishop looked like a fish out of water. Again. That third period was ugly. So much so that I'm convinced my sturgeon description isn't fair ... to the sturgeons. That performance was more Blobfish-ugly. Look it up. It exists.
• Only in Tampa -- there was a furry mascot ... of an astronaut. Yes, you read that right. A furry astronaut. It's no Stanford Tree, but it was freaky nonetheless. And hey -- no jokes about astronaut diapers.
• Back to Andrew Shaw. Rule 78.5 says No Way, Jose -- there's no directing the puck into the net with anything but your stick. It was only a matter of time before somebody tried that, what with all the soccer played to warm up before games.
• When do the Hawks' D run out of gas? They're running a shortened bench (that's better than playing David Rundblad) and they're being absolutely pounded. Duncan Keith played 49:51 on Tuesday night. And Niklas Hjalmarsson has sworn off foie gras he's been hit by so many ducks.
• Over-under on the number of games John Gibson plays next year? Better yet -- what's the over under he's an Oiler and the Ducks sport a tasty young forward in return ...
• Can you do me a favor? Go to your fridge and check the milk carton -- is Marty St. Louis on the side? No? Ah ... Rick Nash is there. I see. Thanks for checking.
