QuoteCarolina just got robbed of a goal, i thought the puck was over the line.

just thought the same thing. the puck was vertical and you can see the whole thing on the other side of the crossbar.

how isnt that a goal?

Canes up 2-0 still anyways. As long as they win, whatev. I just want this series to take something out of both teams and go 6 or 7

I'm actually pulling for the Pens in this series, and I almost hate myself for doing so.

You should ;)

I want a Bruins-Ducks final, so I don't care too much about this series.

Elaborate

I'll expose myself: I'm a Caps fan. I think I've done so in this thread already.

Well, I don't like either team, but I hate hate hate Alex Semin and have always had a dislike for Fedorov, so the Pens get my support by default. Also, I think the Bruins match up better with the Pens (Boston really had their hands full with the Caps all season).

Even though I'm off to work in mere minutes, I'm so glad CBC is broadcasting this game (series?). The NBC crew is atrocious.

For real. I put it on mute half the time during NBC broadcasts.

I cant listen to Pierre McGuire, let alone those other bumblefucks. Versus isnt great by any means, but even it makes NBC look like garbage.

Ovie must have been practicing his diving during practice today

Fleury hasnt looked bad, but I dont know why he was so late to the post on that 1st goal. He just zoned out for a second when he easily shouldve been on the post by the time that shots on net. Whether he stops it or not is another story, but I dont know how he was that late.

I dont know what our D was doing on Steckel's goal.

Var-lamov has made some great saves, otherwise I think we'd be winning.

Hopefully were on our game in the 3rd and dont take stupid penalties or give up a soft goal

Pierre is interviewing for the GM job in Minnesota, and he looks to be a contender, so you may get your wish of not hearing from him after this playoffs.

But K, you can't attack the NBC telecast without attacking TSN's too. Both share most of the same talent.

If someone would've told me Crosby would get a hat trick in a playoff game and we still would lose, I would've said they were crazy.

Malkin hasnt played bad, but the rest of the team really needs to step up. The 3rd line of Cooke-Staal-Kennedy that has been instrumental down the stretch has been non-existent in 2 games.

Yes they have, but they are often going against Ovechkin's line, which ain't an easy assignment.

Understood. It worked against Jeff Carter, but it aint working against Ovie, so hopefully Bylsma quits that idea real quick and uses the home ice to his advantage in respect to line changes.

I thought Guerin played a good game, but outside of him Sid, and Geno, I dont think anyone played better than average. And that probably goes for both games.
