NHL Games

[meow]

Price is taking up residency in the Sens heads.

[shafnutz05]

I believe that the clock has struck midnight in the Hamburglar House.

[mikey]

Not surprisingly, now that a team needs to get a book on Hammond, they do. Subban nearly kills him with that dart from distance. Tough to beat a goalie clean from way out there.

[Orlando Penguin]

Well that was a twisted wrister by Backstrom to break his drought. New game in DC, kids.

[Sarcastic]

Yeah, that was nice.

[cma3585]

Isles defense playing so soft and passive this game.

[Sarcastic]

Ouch. Isles' D looked like a group of chickens with their heads off.

[shafnutz05]

Sens tie it up!

[Orlando Penguin]

Habs to the PP with 1:17 left in a tie game.

[Orlando Penguin]

Crawford back in net for the Hawks...see how long that lasts.

[dodint]

These games make me sad. You get the feeling that either team could score at any time and they often do, then you watch the Pens and it's such a grind.

James Neal looked good in OT the last game, I didn't really notice him before that.

[Orlando Penguin]

And 2:47 in, it's 1-0 Preds.

Darling warming up in the bullpen already.

[shafnutz05]

Wow that goal was weaaaaaaaaaaaaak

[Orlando Penguin]

Robble Robble....big time weak sauce allowed by the Hamburglar and now it's 2-0 Habs in the series.

[dodint]

Hammond. He's rattled.

[shafnutz05]

Brutal turnover leading to that brutal goal

[mikey]

We voted Carey Price 1st Team All Star in the above thread. I vote Andrew Hammond for Team Butt...Team Butt All-Star...

[Orlando Penguin]

Total sickness by Sharp to tie the game in Nashville.

[mikey]

Engeloland. 1-0 Vancouver.

[shafnutz05]

Engeloland. 1-0 Vancouver.

Would love to see that series be close, but not expecting it to be.

[Orlando Penguin]

Geeeeeez....this Josi guy has some sick stick skills. Terrific screen too. Nothing Crawford could do about that one.

[shafnutz05]

Enjoy the extensive coverage on the front page of ESPN.com while it lasts. As soon as the NBA playoffs starts, the NHL will be an afterthought.

[mikey]

Engeloland. 1-0 Vancouver.

Would love to see that series be close, but not expecting it to be.

No? Which way are you leaning so heavily to? I threw up my hands and said Calgary in 7 because I'm rooting for Johnny, as we shared a home rink once upon a time...I think this one is going the distance. Both teams are weak in net. The Flames play fast and up tempo. The Canucks play a cycling style of game. It's an interesting matchup between two teams that I didn't think would be here...

What do you got?

[shafnutz05]

I have (had?) the Nucks in 6. Like you, I love the Flames pace of play. Truth be told, I picked the Nucks prior to the series (and in my pool). I was surprised when Calgary took Game 1 for sure.

Truth be told, the more I think about it, this could go seven easily. I do agree with you on the goaltending situation, although I give a slight nod to Lack. I probably overstated my position, I still like the Canucks, but it will be a close series as you mentioned.

[mikey]

And part of it too, I feel, is that the series has a long way to go because I'm not sure there's a lot of closers on these teams...it's 4-3 Calgary with nine minutes left in game 6...now what? Who takes it over and says, "ok that's it...series over"...? I don't think anyone, I think Vancouver rises up and a depth guy ties it and they extend the series...that's how I'm picturing it going down...the moveable object vs the stoppable force...
