Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009

[Homercidal]

I loved those few minutes where Stuart hit Umberger and then the retaliation failed and the Blue Jacket ended up in the Wings Bench. Then some more retaliation caused a Wings goal.

Both teams were playing like crazy men. I noticed Columbus stayed out of the box most of the night this time.

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

Yeah great hit by Stuart . If those guys can't handle a legal hit maybe they shouldn't be playing hockey . Cost them a goal trying to run someone into the boards lol

Umberger saw that hit coming and tried to duck for some reason, maybe instict from the brain saying "Oh Sh!t this is gonna hurt!". You can watch his right knee almost drop to the ice.

That put his head down and it hit Stuart's shoulder square on. I was glad to see him back in the game afterward until he put the puck behind Ozzy.

What a maroon!! He saw this hit coming but did nothing to avoid it.

Puck is about to drop, HERE WE GO FOR A SWEEP!!!!

LETS GO BRUINS
*CLAP CLAP* *CLAP CLAP CLAP*

 

[Joe C]

...not the best way to start the period though.

Another Lindros in the making. If you can't see hits coming in the NHL you won't be there for long.

That's 2 epic hits, although the first was worse.

 

[Joe C]

^^Wow, that was nasty.

Just hoping the Habs will get back in the race... but it sure looks like bad news for them
God i miss the days when Yvan Cournoyer and Guy Lafleur were around...

I feel sorry for Price. Wonder what the Habs will look like next year. That was a loooong list of soon to be free agents.

The crowd was killing Price. Morons. Did they watch that pathetic excuse the Canadiens called defense? Too much playing the body, not enough playing the puck.

Not that I'm complaining.

Man...another heartbreaker in Calgary. We had those buttheads on the ropes coming into Canada and poofed it all away.

Calgary seems to be beat up going back to Chicago though. Khabibulin looks REALLY shaky all of a sudden.

I'm related to Seabrook on the 'hawks. His Grandmother is my Dad's Niece. So... his Grandma is my cousin. Yeah, one of those f'ing huge french families where your cousin is 3 times your age.

(My Dad has Nephews that are older than he is.)

Kinda like Kentucky?

Kinda like Kentucky?

I was going to say "Except we don't marry our cousins.", but then I uh, did have relatives..... that were..uh.. Hey, the marriage was sanctioned by a Bishop!

Did I mention my Dad is from Saskatchewan?

BLOW HABS BLOW

Now some rest for Chara, Thomas and the rest. Savard looked a bit out of sorts last night, hope he is ok.

I hope Ryder asked the Canadiens how is ass taste

 

[Homercidal]

Wings sweep Columbus tonight.

I was hoping the Ducks would take care of The Sharks, but then I realized that if anaheim wins, then Detroit plays them next, and I DON'T want those 10:00 PM games!! Makes for a rough next day.

 

[arturo7]

Woo-hoo!

My buddy just called, his wife can't make it tonight.

2nd row in the corner for Sharks/Ducks!

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Nice score Arturo. You sneaking your own booze in or do they have/charge decent? In BC arena's it's about 7-8 bucks a cup and usually bud or canadian.

 

[arturo7]

One stand has Guinness, 16oz draft for about $9 US.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Yikes! damn 10 letters

 

[Revvy]

Can anyone say "Red Wings Sweep!!!"

 

[arturo7]

The Sharks did not look sharp all night. They really stunk the place up in the third. Hey Doug, guess Ron Wilson wasn't the problem, huh?

Here's an action shot. Sorry for the poor quality. All my shots of play in the corner were even worse. The game is just too fast for a phone's camera. Plus, I had better things to do like watch puck and drink $9 beer.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Hmmm.. The western conference leaders are't doing so hot against the bottom feeding ducks.

Looks like you had nice seats Arturo.

 

[Joe C]

WOOO WOOOOOO!!!!

I feel sorry for Price. Wonder what the Habs will look like next year. That was a loooong list of soon to be free agents.

I don't. He looks just like Huet - a damn head case. While it's tough when your own fans don't trust you, he didn't give them any reason to have hope.

Woo-hoo!

Enjoy!

I usually end up having a few molsons while I'm there... when I'm at a bruins game I don't want abbaye de leffe (even though they have it there, along with a few other good brews).

When I'm at a game I want overcarbed yellow fizzy stuff.

Sweet seats! I wish I lived closer to the Wings. 4-4.5 hours drive is NOT where it's at (with the price of tickets etc.)

I watched a the first few minutes of the Sharks last night. Not enough to see any scoring or anything.

But I DID get to see the Wings eliminate the Blue Jackets! I got a feeling Columbus will be back with a vengeance next season. Well, as long as Mason can give another season like he had this season.

 

[Mike M]

Whew, The Flyers are still alive ... barely but still alive. It’d be nice to force a game 7.

 

[Hophazard]

Well crap. I suppose there goes my chances of being able to go to a conference finals game to watch the Wings. I suppose I could drive to Anaheim to catch a game, but San Jose would've been so much closer!
