The big news for BU in the NHL on Friday night was Brandon Yip scoring his first career playoff goal in San Jose in an insane 6-5 OT loss to the Sharks.

I love how it took the play by play guy a solid 20 seconds to figure out who got the goal.  Dude.  He's the only freakin' Asian guy on the ice.  And he's wearing number 59.  He sort of stands out.  Check your line charts pal.

Anyway, the Colorado loss means the series is even at 1 heading back to the Mile High.

In Chicago, Colin Wilson played his first career playoff game, and his Preds pulled off a shocker of their own to begin their series with the Blackhawks.  Wilson didn't get on the scoresheet in about 17 minutes of play, but his boys did score 4 third period goals in the win.
