New NHL season

[Gillipig]

Got one right, 7 to go. Wouldn't have guessed Habs would win it in 4 but I thought they would win.

[oVo]

Ahem! GO STARS!
Like to see a repeat of Game 3 tonight,
which was a treat to watch.

Kari Lehtonen shut out the Ducks
for his first playoff win.

[Serbia]

Carey Price has been awesome. If Boston beats Detroit, his duel with Rask should be awesome.

Just makes me feel better about picking Montreal to go all the way this year.
Except for what San Jose is doing out west. That's scary. But they choke every year, so... I've got that going for me.

Bollocks.

[Army of GOD]

Yeah because the Canadiens NEVER choke...

[Army of GOD]

Fleury is a mess

[Army of GOD]

Fleury fucking sucks

I'd be more than glad to never see him play as a Pen again

[oVo]

Ducks score the first two but the Stars
answer with 4 to even up the series at 2.

A short handed breakaway just went off the pipe.
Minute and a half to play and it's 4 on 4
with the goalie out of the net.

Benn's loose...
GOAL! BAH... No Goal
B R U T A L G A M E... 4 - 2

[sempaispellcheck]

ALL OF THE EXPLETIVES.

Just...every. single. one.

sempai

[oVo]

Stars have been good on home ice since the All Star break, now if they can just find some of that energy on the road...
Look Out!

[Serbia]

Hey EhOhGee, what were we saying about choking?

Sounds like Zetterberg is going to play tonight, "limited minutes". I don't think it's enough for Detroit. I think they're done.

Bollocks.

Let me guess, you work for NBC and you are worried about a ratings drop if the Pens don't advance.

[Serbia]

Wings are done. Boston is too good. Wish we would have beat Carolina and drawn Pittsburgh, we'd have beaten the Pens.

Bollocks.

Coulda woulda shoulda, Pittsburgh hasn't impressed though, I'm disappointed with what I've seen from them. Instead of upping their game come playoff time they seem to consistently lowering it. Wings aren't out yet though, crazier things than the top seed blowing a 3-1 game lead in the first round has happened......but barely.....and it doesn't happen often........nah who am I kidding, they're pretty much fucked!

[Timminz]

Wings are done. Boston is too good.

I don't know. Look at what happened to Boston in the first round last year. If the Leafs can push it to 7 games after being down 3-1, then the Wings certainly can.

I mean, you're probably right, but all I'm saying is that it ain't over 'till it's over.

Yeah, you're right. It's possible. And hey, Detroit blew a 3-1 lead last year, so it happens. I just don't see them overcoming. Although, Detroit looked a hell of a lot better in Game 4 than in the previous two. Just had to somehow hold a lead.

Bollocks.

Fleury fucking sucks

I'd be more than glad to never see him play as a Pen again

You're just realizing this now? Fleury is garbage in the playoffs.

Since backstopping the Penguins to a Stanley Cup in 2009, his following four playoff campaigns have yielded the following save percentages: .891, .899, .834, and .883. In 31 playoff games since the his cup win, Fleury has an average save percentage of .864. That is just terrible and, even worse, consistent.

I always had some sort of hope that he'd return to back-to-back finals form but he's just such a headcase now that I think there's no coming back.

Wings done and Pens tied 1-1 right now.

[Army of GOD]

Very solid win. Looked bad for a period and a half and then we turned it on. Completely out shot the BJs

[sempaispellcheck]

First game of the series that did not end 4-3.
First game in the series to be tied 1-1.
First game in the series a team lead 2-1 or 3-1 and did not lose that lead.

Going to MSG tomorrow for Rangers-A**holes, Game 5.
Should be fun.

How much were the tickets?

If the Rags win I'm going to be very tempted to go to a Pens-Rags game at MSG. Gonna have to pay like a million dollars though.

Maybe I should see if the.killing is still alive.

And if you didn't have to pay maybe...you know...you could hook a brotha up...=D

[sempaispellcheck]

How much were the tickets?

$100 apiece. My mom and I have a share of season tickets.
I wish I could, but if the Pens play the Rangers, I don't think she'll even let me go - knowing I'd go in my Pens jersey.

For a second round, that's not a bad price. Gotta be upper bowl, yeah?

Wings are done. I'm disappointed of course, but I expected it. This wasn't a bad year for Detroit, all things considered. We worked in some young guys, and found out they can play. The roster needs an overhaul now, and some of the greybeards have got to go. (Cleary, Bertuzzi, Samuelsson)

Meanwhile, I'm just enjoying the other series. Playoff hockey is so awesome, and the first round is the best.

Bollocks.

That's first round price (he's going to Rags-Flydouches.

I'm looking right now and there are tickets on stubHub for the game tomorrow for $135, which I'd definitely pay if its around there for next round.

Also, totally agree. This years' playoffs have been great. This is my favorite time of the sports year: hockey and basketball playoffs and early baseball season.

Well if you ever, you know, want to sell me the tickets...
