NHL 2016 Playoffs: First round day 11 open thread

Capitals (3-2) vs. Flyers (2-3)

When: 9 a.m. PST

TV: NBC

Stream: Live Extra

Why you should watch: I’m honestly not sure how this series is still going on. Okay, I guess it’s because Michal Neuvirth played out of his god damn mind in gave five to literally steal a win from Washington. This is starting to get interesting and moving this series back to Philadelphia can only help to increase the entertainment value.

Stars (3-2) vs. Wild (2-3)

When: Noon PST

TV: NBC

Stream: Live Extra

Why you should watch: So it turns out the Stars didn’t win this series in five games. That’s fine. They get another chance to close out this series, this time in Minnesota. The only thing standing in their way is their $10.5 million worth of mediocre goaltending in addition to the lack of Tyler Seguin. Right.

Panthers (2-3) vs. Islanders (3-2)

When: 4 p.m. PST

TV: NBC Sports

Stream: Live Extra

Why you should watch: The Islanders won in double overtime and now can close out the series on home ice. Come for the shitty television angle, stay for John Tavares and Jaromir Jagr.
