Kings roar all the way back to a 3-2 series lead. I really hope I won't see that happen in our series Friday night, as I'll be there at the game.

Dat Wings defense playing so soft in the playoffs. Not sure they are up to the task, but has been fun so far.

Nice, great game to go to. Im super jealous, wish I could trade my Islanders tix for Rangers tix. Enjoy!

Still, the Isles game will be a good one to go to as well. Sometimes it's nice getting to watch a neutral game you can just enjoy it and not be living and dying on every rush. I just foresee another OT game, I just hope it has a happy ending.

Ovie gives maximum effort on every play, it's what makes him so great.

edit: BTW on the Cuthbert one it really looks like she's gesturing at the guy next to her with her eyes, not being catty.

Yeah supposedly she's friends with Reimer's wife(?)...was explained they were reacting to a fan near them.

Terrible effort by Ovechkin on that play...although would be nice if we weren't depending on him to cover other people's blown coverages and missed clearing attempts.

heh, Ovie's body language looks awful, but really that's not his coverage there. Wingers worry about the D in their own end.

With Hershey getting knocked out of AHL playoffs (Caps farm team), rumors are Tom Wilson was one of the call ups to the Caps roster, but not just for the "Black Aces", he was taking regular line rushes on 4th line. Erat has been ruled out for Game 5, and I assume Eric Fehr moves up to 2nd line since he's been playing well...but Wilson was not who I'd expect them to plug into the bottom 6. I'm not sure if playoffs games count towards possibly burning a year off his ELC, but if so I wonder if this is worth the risk.

Pretty sure playoffs don't count towards contracts. They're playing for free, for all intents and purposes.

This is a good point, if you look from another angle you can see Ovie really busting his ass to get back in coverage on his zone, back near the blue line.

BOOO!!!!! He dogged it and I can blame him all day for making zero effort from the jump=P

This Matt Martin kid on the Isles plants someone on their ass every shift. Also Matt Cooke is playing his ass off and Crosby looks pretty GD sloppy...for Crosby. Vokoun giving up too many rebounds, it's gonna bite use in the ass eventually.

What do you guys think? Can Chicago finish the series off tonight? I think Ottawa has this one in hand. If I'm wrong, you can slap me and call me Betty.

OK forget what I said about Sid looking sloppy. That was fucking awesome.



edit: I think the Wild beat Chicago tonight before losing in 6.

Montreal is done.

Nice moves by Crosby there, Isles in trouble. Impressed with the lack of penalties being drawn so far. Almost a full period of 5on5? Who'da thunk it possible!

Islanders in real trouble. No kidding.

Montreal is done.

I think Chicago takes it tonight.

If I'm wrong, you can punch me and call me Joyce.
