Except for some nastiness in Nashville v. San Jose…
I hope you saw the slash by Calgary's back-up goalie. That was pretty nasty and memorable. You mean this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Be5TWS4OFrcEh, that was a love tap ;) |

If you compare that to anything Hextall did, it is.  |

His goal was glory in the form of vulcanized rubber! He also managed to break a mans arm...

Anaheim v. Vancouver game #2 going into 2OT… …won't be terribly disturbed if Canucks pull off upset, but Selanne is one of my favorite skaters and as Penguin fan, love Randy Carlyle too (only Penguin to ever win Norris trophy!)… |

Sharks let them get back in the game but the officiating was pretty home team at times also tbh. Also I swear if somebody doesn't re-break Bertuzzi's back for me in the next game of this series I'm going to be pissed.

OT games are usually decided on an ugly goal, but that one last night was REALLY ugly.
Really too bad since Luongo was unreal. The Ducks succeeded in getting under Roberto's skin and having a weak-sauce goal go in because he was beaking at a ref is a tough lesson to learn.

I am going to shave tomorrow. JUST when it stopped itching, too. Damnit. Sure hope Nonis can find some upgrades for next season. Need some size and speed, and someone to put the goddamned puck in the net. Wouldn't mind seeing a cheap 4th liner who can scrap too. |

I wouldn't call it "ugly" -- it was a wicked shot on target, and goalie has to keep his head in the game… …though kind of tragic to be beat like that after standing on his head all game and literally almost willing the C's to victory himself. Vancouver has nothing to be ashamed over with, they played tough. Previous evening saw two great games: one, Mike Fisher scored one of the biggest FU goals in SC history that I can remember. Yeah, the Devils got it back a little later, but the goal he scored was a big spike through the Devil hearts. Every player loves those kind of goals and every skater (with exception of goalie) on a team can strike like that - get a puck in neutral ice, take a few strides and launch a snap shot at the net. When it goes in though, it's a big FU effect -- usually it's a mid-ling caliber offensive sort, but it could easily be a lumbering D-man. It says anyone on this team can beat your goalie one on one from outside the dots, and defensive team takes notice and starts trying to over-accommodate for the letdown. Claude Lemieux (though I hate him) had a penchant for scoring such goals. Any of you who play know what scoring a goal like that feels like. Yeah, fluke goals from long range or defensemen deflected in deals happen, but everyone knows that flukey stuff happens. When you score like Fisher did, though, it's a special form of elation, and can really shatter the confidence of opposing D (and elevate your own team confidence, because they all see how each one is capable of abusing opposing goalie). Then, SJ literally hands Detroit the series. Sharks going nowhere with Nabokov as that goal scored by Lang was ridiculous… …blew a 2-0 game lead, and are going to blow a 2-0 series lead… |

Oooh look! A playoff thread. How'd I miss this?
Funny story re: the OT goal that did in Vancouver-
Not even 12 hours earlier Kelly Hrudy was doing an interview and taking calls. Someone asked for some advice for a young goalie and he says "I know it sounds cliche'd but never take your eyes off the puck." Ouch.
I'm in for a great weekend. I'll be really interested in what happens tonight in Buffalo. May decide the series. And on Saturday my beloved Senators will enter the gates of Hell (Newark) and finish the evil and loathsome Devils. Ok, maybe I'll have to wait for Monday. Martin who?

Everyone knows a sports fan that's a completely uninformed, cocksmoking retard that abandons common sense in his riduclous assestment of "his" team?
That guy in my life is a Senators fan.
DIE SENS DIE.
Plus, any Cup the Senators might win is hollow unless they go through the Leafs in the playoffs to get it ;)

I'm a Senators fan living in Toronto. I'm surrounded by nothing but the cocksmoking retards you describe. There is no amount of abuse you can heap on me that I haven't heard. I could care less about beating the Leafs en route to a Cup. That would be nice, but the reality is the Senators will have succeeded where the Leafs have failed year in, year out. A Cup is a Cup; and it will only add to the suffering of the 'Leaf Nation'. Besides, those clowns are 3 years removed from a playoff game. Are we supposed to wait up? |
