well u would know that the whole avs stopped skating in OT. its like they know that secure a 7th spot and stopped playing. theodore was the only one that was doing anything.

for the first time though, the building sounded like playoff atmosphere during OT.

[Mugen]

wasnt that like the first time the fans chanted go canucks go since like long time ago?

[ahcheungape]

well go canucks go is always chanted. but the crowd was very hyped and loud during the the carter goal and into the OT.

[Masa]

I never thought I would say this but GJ Devils!  

Islanders better beat the Flyers in the last game (this must be the first time ever I'm rooting for them).  

[Mugen]

Naslund might lose Captaincy.

Bertuzzi getting traded is an 80% possibility.

Jovo not getting resigned is also a high possiblity.

Richard Park prolly wont coming back.

OMG CANUCKS GONNA SUK NEXT YR!

[Asmodai]

Hard to choose whether to root for the Sabres or the Wings... well, at least I won't need to choose till the finals.

[jphip3826]

my poor Kings If only we didn't have so many injuries... and if only Andy Murray hadn't been fired so late... gah! There's always next season I guess.

I'm glad the rules were changed. All the games I've watched this season have been exciting.

[Kobasew]

Another season of NHL hockey, another season of disappointment for the Leafs.  The sad thing is, i'll be right back there cheering them on next season.  This city will go nuts when they finally win the cup.

[Asmodai]

This city will go nuts  if they ever win the cup.

Fixed your typos. :p

[ahcheungape]

well there is also speculations that bert will remain in vancouver. however, if there is a good proposal from other teams around the league, canucks will definitely go for it i think.

i seriosly dont think Nonis is gonna blow up the team. i would only think he will most likely trade one of the top liner and maybe push the sedins line to the top line.

[daigong]

MAN!! That was tough pill to swallow. 3-2 loss in 2OT and fucked over by former Oiler KirK Maltby no less.

No idea why MacTavish decided to go and shake up the lines. Deliver the trap!? Versus BabCOCK?! At  least the Oilers knew they can hang with da best.

But must give big props to Roloson WE GOT THE GOALTENDER to bring us to the Promiseland. Just gotta get those cheap chippy throw the goddamn puck at the net not slip and deke and do  fancy plays shot.

...

other series. Ottawa shocker. Ray Emery ain't too bad after all. And Paul FREAKING Kariya keeps delivering the shit. 4 assists!! Looks like it'll be a series v Sharks after all. :p

[Sponge Bob]

Holy shit Cristobal Huet just raped Gerber and the Canes

OMFG Jose Theodore's BACK!!!!, with a win!!!

Wtf what happened to Lundqvist -_- and Jagr -_-

[daigong]

Yeah. Jagr. Still no word on his condition. 1st games are always wild and crazy. Which is why THE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ARE THE BEST!!

All the 1-0 Series Got TIED THE FUCK UP!!! Anaheim came on strong, did ya see Scott Niedermayer just out hustle the Calgary defense? NICE!! Shall be interesting.

Of course...The Hockey Gods finally got the Oilers on board, with some chippy goals here and  there. Pronger is really leading the way, 2 goals already and doing some forecheckng!



Congrats to Brad Winchester for his first goal EVER! in the NHL. Can't wait for Tuesday...the whole city is gonna be ROCKING. Tickets are thru the roof. Like 145 to 400 bucks.

This is what a playoff warrior looks like:

Now go kill Yzerman!! He ain't gonna beat Messier's goal totals!

[ctz]

Yay Tampa tied with Senators! I hope they win again tomorrow!

[Sponge Bob]

Jagr is a joke, trying to check Elias and hurting his shoulder wtf

Vesla Toskala shutout

Cheecho + Thorton

[daigong]

WHOA. Dallas is now down 2-0 vs Colorado. Next stop Pepsi Center.
