OK was that one on purpose? Cause that's what she said.

I figured, I've got a good thing going, why stop now...?

If the Panthers play the Devils, I think they can take them in a series.

Ehhhhh. Panthers are just so not good. Easily going to be worst team in the playoffs, to me. Yeah yeah I know they have more pts than a team or two. But they aren't good. They have nobody in the same league as Kovalchuk and Parise. Devils, if anything, are underrated coming into this playoffs IMO.

I repeat...they have 37 wins. They are entering the playoffs....below .500.

That doesn't mean they can't win a series. 1993-94 Sharks were 33-35-16 and knocked off Detroit, led Toronto 3 games to 2 and hit a crossbar in OT of Game 6, and had dominated Vancouver that year. They could easily have been in the Finals against NYR.

Yeah but looking at how SJ finished they only lost twice in the last 13 and only 5 times in the last 20. Not quite like the Panthers right now.

Oh and Bob Essensa sucked ass and Ozzie wasn't ready for prime time. A few years ago game 7 was on and I watched it, to throw up maybe, and thought wow that was bad.

Fact that you have to back that far to find a mediocre team who made some noise kind of proves his point.

Main thing I remember about that game other than the misplay on the game-winner was Fedorov being a punk and going after I think it was Jay More near the end.

What ya looking for? Youtube has rather large selection of old games. The user NHLOnlineVideos has a lot. The NHL youtube account evne has some. I watched Patrick Roy's last game in Montreal on their channel.

[JRS1386]

I know the game ultimately led to nowhere but I want to rewatch Game 7 against Boston. That game gets me so pumped I'll have to check YouTube when I get home

[dduncan6er]

I was at that game unfortunately.

here is the TSN feed of the first period. Looks like that guy has all 3 periods.

[JRS1386]

You are the man! Thanks!

[aeroshady]

NBC is blacked out here, and the local channels are showing the Devils, Islanders and knicks

Guess I can't watch the Rangers game...

[dmbmuskie]

Duper!!!

[unccrombie]

any idea when caps playoff tickets will be announced, tomorrow?

[UCFish]

hmmmm....no chance we get a shutout right????

40 min and Crawfish with the SO

[rickyh24]

Looks like the Bruins have yet another awesome goalie.

[s0628711]

Dirty hit by Orpik. Very relieved Stepan is okay.

[JRS1386]

OMG the Canucks are so close to being President Cup winners again

[xxdmbxx250]

In case anyone is interested....

From AP:

Notes: The Flyers presented their year-end awards before the game. Claude Giroux was named team MVP, Kimmo Timonen was outstanding defenseman, Scott Hartnell won most improved player, and Jaromir Jagr was named the Flyer who best illustrates character, dignity and respect for the sport both on and off the ice. ... The Flyers swept the season series 4-0.

nope got to 56 minutes

Bullshit on Bickell...his goal was good

[rustysurf83]

Does Minnesota think that they have a rivalry with the Hawks or something? Dude's getting slashed, head-butted, and cross-checked for no apparent reason...

[UCFish]

well they do have dirty Heatley

Heatley's dirty?


Oh, and bye-bye Stars. Sharks playoff magic number is 1, and Colorado's trailing by 2 after 2.

[DynastyDrummer1]

RIP Sabres season....

[efraser77]

Hahaha Thornton just fought Doughty, and kicked his ass.


EDIT: But they gave Thornton an extra penalty, and it was already 4-on-4 so it's a 4-on-3, which I hate.

EDIT II: Because it's too easy to score on
