By only allowing a pair of goals in the first two games against Dallas last week, Osgood has helped Detroit to continue their dominance in the 2008 playoffs. Mr. Reliable has yet to lose a game in this current post-season.

Stanley Cup playoff video showcases best from opening round

By: Hockey.com Editor 16 days 8 hours 4 minutes ago.

Oh Mon dieux!

If you aren't fluent in French, don't fret, my friends.

The compilation of the Top 10 Plays from the opening round of the 2008 Stanley Cup playoffs needs very few words.

Making the grade with three outstanding saves is Evgeni Nabokov. When he's at his best, which he needed to be to help the Sharks past Calgary in the first round, he becomes a human highlight reel. Unfortunately for the Sharks, he has been anything but his best against the Stars in Round 2.

Of course what would a Top 10 list be without Alex Ovechkin dazzling against the Flyers?

Come to think of it, it's the only playoff video highlight of OV that you'll see now that the Caps are golfing and he's starring for Russia at the World Hockey Championships.

Even an aging Peter Forsberg gets in on the action with a great play leading to a top-drawer goal. Too bad that Forsberg, like his teammates, aren't offering up much against the Red Wings - Forsberg obviously still has the talent, if only his body could keep up.

Anyway, enjoy this montage of the best from the opening round. Surely a few highlights will be added before the Stanley Cup is handed over to one lucky captain later this spring.
