Well that was quick.

Looks like 8 and 9 decided to stop for a smoke break before going inside.

Stubhub and a large wallet do fine. I can afford to pay a lot for a game and I live in Shanghai now so seeing a playoff game is worth it. Last year I saw 2 games in the Rangers/Devils match-up and paid about $300 for each ticket.

aaaaaand exhale.

Looks like Ottawa is pushing Montreal right to the edge. And this is easily the most physical series I have seen in years. Bourque might just find himself being targeted in Tuesday's game.

I am hoping for Montreal's elimination.

 

[Michael]

Montreal is too small to play that way. If they keep it up, Ottawa will win for sure.

yup, and that was when the caps got called for too many men on the ice, which the rangers scored on the power play too...

Can somebody remind me again why the Flyers traded away Mike Richards and Jeff Carter?

 

[Michael]

Great back-to-back games for the Kings as they tie the series up at 2-2 with a 4-3 win.

Oh man....I am so sick and fucking tired of the refs throwing people out of the face off. Here's a brilliant idea, DROP THE FUCKING PUCK!!! Don't stand there like a fucking nancy boy holding it....drop the goddam thing.

Pisses me off to no end.

Because their bar tab was humangous big, and so was Bryzgalov's contract.

Mike Richards would be absolutely sick in Hawks uniform. He's exactly what they need in a second line center. I'd take Carter too.

So it was the goalie's contract that necessitated the trades?

So the Kings can win Stanley Cups. duh!!! ^_^

Did you hear the fans chanting "You got Kronwalled" *clap clap clap-clap-clap*(in the same cadence of "Let's go Red Wings)? It was awesome!

No kidding! It's been like that all year.

Why is the Blackhawks/Wild game starting at 8:30 central time?

They are both central time zone teams? Why not start them earlier at 7:00 central or 7:30 central?

And why the hell do ALL of the eastern conference series get those nice start times? How about moving one or two of those games to an 8:30 local start time and letting the Hawks play early?

I am hoping for Montreal's extermination.

Better.

there is some really suspect officiating in this caps/rangers game...

Looked like they were giving the Rangers something back after the home cooking the Caps got in game 1 with the parade to the penalty box in the first period of the series.

to do that, they needed to give the caps a 5-3 like they did for the rangers in that game 1 you speak of ...

rangers wanted it more in the 3rd period and deserved the win. we had our chances to win... our vaunted powerplay didn't look so hot (well the 2nd PP looked pretty good imho)

i was a little irate how we handled that powerplay at the end... it seemed like we were so afraid of getting scored on the empty net, that we didn't want to take any chances unless it was "tic tac toe"... honestly should have left holtby in and let our PP roll like they normally do
