Actually it is entirely his fault. He played a hell of a game and was the only reason his team was still in it. But that doesn't take away that he screwed up royally and cost his team the game. Steve Smith cost the Oilers vs the Flames when he bounced it off of Fuhr and in. Osgood cost his team the game when his clearing pass went right to a Shark player and they scored. (Many more examples, but I am at work...) It doesn't matter how good of a game he played, he cost his team the game.

Why use THAT example?

Bollocks.

Sorry. Top of my head. The next year they went out and got Mike Vernon...so it wasn't all bad.

Brad Pitt's team looked strong yesterday.

Very true. And the year after THAT -
Champions.

Sharks just scored in the final minute of game 2
to force OT in Vancouver.

Some good series already...
Blackhawks are rolling.

Pens coughed up a 3-1 lead. Blergh.

Apparently, Carey Price is a motherfucking badass!

Gets a tooth kicked out, skates over to the bench to give the tooth to the trainer, and goes right back to playing.

Hockey!

Anderson did the same thing the game before. This is turning out to be a great series.

And who saw the Isles winning last night???? Wow. Go Isles!!!!

I agree with all of the above.

The Wings laid an egg tonight. I never expected them to win the series, but still. Also, not really digging the decision to play Lashoff with Ian White and Carlo Colaiacovo available, but I won't peg the loss on that.

Bollocks.

Abdelkater's major penalty killed them.

Also, the Caps/Rangers game was great. Holtby and Lundqvist both played out of their minds.

If only Carey can goal like the second game and not like the first one, Montréal should win this !

I really need to see another replay of that hit. The Detroit announcers were calling it a clean hit as soon as it happened, then we went to commercial break, come back to find it's a MAJOR penalty for head-hunting? I wanna see it again.

Bollocks.

What the hell were the Detroit announcers smoking? That's not even close to a clean hit. He leaves his feet, the primary point of contact is to the head, and it's debatably an elbow. It's off the charts dirty compared to the Gryba-Eller hit.

I'm calling 4 games.

by **Army of GOD** on Sun May 05, 2013 3:46 pm

Well I pissed my pants during the Pens game. Too many stupid plays...happy we can escape with a win.

Going to try to go to the game on Tuesday.

I've seen the hit again. I'm not going to argue. Don't know how they figured that clean.

I like that you're honest.

Nice to see Minnesota squeeze out a win in OT. They deserved it, played with much more intensity and desperation so I'm happy for them.

Oh and I was right about Vancouver, they're not gonna win that series lol. They seriously need to practise on being able to play in high intensity games. In the playoffs guys don't just stand around waiting for you to make the pass, they're in your face, the Canucks clearly can't handle that type of play.

by **Army of GOD** on Mon May 06, 2013 12:38 pm

Sharks look really good. I'm surprised they made the Murray and Clowe trades...

by **Army of GOD** on Wed May 08, 2013 1:10 pm

Ugh, so after last night's debacle we're starting Vokoun tomorrow.

Even though I prefer it it still doesn't bode well. Hopefully playing Vokoun will get us playing right again like during the win streak.

Wings at Ducks, Game 5. All the pressure is on Anaheim right now. They were six and a half minutes away from a 3-1 series lead, and now go back home tied, knowing if they blow this one, they'll face elimination in Detroit. Wings really need this one.

Bollocks.

by **keiths31** on Wed May 08, 2013 8:16 pm

Fleury has been awful. By all rights the Isles should be up 3-1 right now. Taveres is insane right now. Even though I am a Sens fan and we were in a very close game last night, I couldn't keep my eyes off the Pens-Isles game.

Sens-Habs game was good too. What a comeback to score with like 30 seconds left.

It's funny being on the Penguins fan forum and reading some of the posts. The series is tied 2-2. If I were a Habs fan I would be knotting up the noose right now.

by **Timminz** on Wed May 08, 2013 9:37 pm

Fuckity fucking fuck!

The Leafs-Bruins series has been far too competitive to be 3-1 right now.

by **sempaispellcheck** on Wed May 08, 2013 10:08 pm

Fun fact:

The Capitals have taken a 2-0 series lead 9 times. They have gone on to lose 5 of those 9 series- the only team in the NHL to have blown more 2-0 leads than they've held onto.
6 of 10 Sunday?
