Tampa Bay just won't go away.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Tampa herpes.
Sucks and just keeps coming back. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Scary thing for Boston should be that the big 3 aren''t even scoring (Vinnie, Marty and Steven). If they start scoring, it could be a long series for the Bs.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Oops, check the scoreboard. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Well the only thing longer then a 6 game series is a 7 so I think this will qualify. :noon
;s

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I was trying to be nice to John and not say the Bruins will lose. ;) :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Sorry you came through the middle with your head down. I was just finishing my check. :r

I know what you were saying but I had to do it. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I feel like Martin Havlat. :lv



:r :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

As big as game 3 was I dont think the Sharks have ever had a bigger must win game.
If they dont win tomorrow I just cant see them taking 3 straight and they will just be delaying the inevitable it would seem.

Will be at the rink for the 1st period hoping to catch the ending if its not a blowout. Can only hope Marleau and Jumbo stay hot.

See I was invisioning Soupy on Umberger

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Sorry, wasn't quite that epic. :r

Heading to bed....see you manana, Mike. GO SHARKS!! :D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

good night brother.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Looks like they want to take checking out of the game.

Christ!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

That makes three of us. How can it be both?

Ouch...LOL

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Sharks are done stick a fork in them.
Thornton leaves with a injury, you wont see him again,he pulled that in Boston and got his phony a$$ shipped out of town.
Nice left jab by Clowe on Kesler almost knocked him out of course the game was over :sl

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yup. Never expected them to take them.
They buried themselves in this one and can only blame themselves.

Maybe next year. :r. Or not

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Raffi Torres hit was awesome.

Guess I'll take up watching the basketball playoffs, it's the only sport that allows contact this time of year. :fl

The hit on "Jumbo" didn't look to ruff. To not come back in a game like this something better be broken, severed or destroyed and even then he should have come back to the bench.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Three 5 on 3 goals for the Canucks, all within seconds of going on said advantage....wow. 13 shots, 4 goals. Looks like the East will have to take out the 'Nucks.

That "punch" on Kesler appeared to me, upon several reviews, to be a tap. me thinks it was an awesome (or not) acting job by Kesler. :2

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Im not biting and you cant make me. :r

I will say I understand your disdain and I am in the boat right next to you. My dislike of the Wings isnt the players its the crest on the chest for all the years they did us. Many of the Wings are great players and you would like them on your team. Its a whole different thing here.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I never hated the Canucks back in the day. I have liked players throughout the years (Linden, Naslund, Bure, Hedican, Sopel, Jovanoski, Sanderson, Schmautz, Williams, Smyl, Mogilny off the top of my head), and hated a few (Snepts, Momesso). But the last several years I too have hated whoever wears that jersey. Much like the Leafs and Blues back in the old Norris days, I just can't stand anyone who puts on that jersey, although I know that there are a few of them I would love in a Hawks sweater. I don't know how it started, but that's the team I love to hate now. Hate it that they're full of talent and on a roll this year, and I am rooting against them every step of the way....but I am enough of a hockey fan that I have to give them props for the season they have had so far.


I just hope they don't hoist that Cup. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Exciting game, the B's didn't wake up until the second.
The power play is non existing and their passing sux's,but hey they won that's all that counts Timmy was GREAT:D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

That Thomas stick save on Downie was unreal. Looking forward to Game 6 Wednesday, as well as Game 5 tomorrow.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

They have played their best with their backs against the wall. Hope they can win atleast one more for pride and bring it home where the tank would be electric for game 6. Without Jumbo odds are very low.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

You know whos side I am on in this one, Mike. ;)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Sharks are saying he will play

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Not a great game by the B's last night.

Power play still stinks but we can expect that. They had better chances when they brought the puck in over the blue line instead of shooting it to the corner, from the red line. (stupid dump and chase) :2

They also had a few chances when they moved Chara down low and moved Bergeron to the point.

12 min in the first without out a shot by the Bruins embarrassing.

Timmy was great last night :banger

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Latest on "Jumbo":

The sand was removed from his whoha. However, there still is some irritation and it will be a game time decision if he will play or not.

:D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I am guessing we call that a "Condition Avery", Al? :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

LULs.

Interesting link
http://www.nhlnumbers.com/teams

Sharks have no cap room. But hopefully letting Huskins, Wallin, and Nitty go will help them grab I great D man. Heatley is a Shark until 12/13 unless they package him. Not sure the Sharks are willing to let go of anything young though.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Maybe Heatley will show up tonight, Mike? Seems the least he could do for what they're paying him.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Im telling you Id be ashamed if I was making that much money and putting or rather not putting up much. Playing the 3rd or 4th line occasionally. Sad.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I agree, Mike.

This is my last check in until late night....watching the game on TiVo delay and don't want any spoliers.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Not going to watch tonight. I have my first actuarial exam in the morning and I feel like study and sleep are more important. Sharks better win so I can see them play one more time this season.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Good game. Good series.
The better team won.
I hope San Jose has taken enough out of them that he get rolled for the cup. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Disappointing finish for the Sharks, I know that they wanted to take the next step to consider this season a success.

Props to Luongo, he played well.

For the first time in many years, I will be rooting for the East team to win the Cup.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

54 save?! He has certainly done a lot this postseason to prove he is a big time netminder. Last nights game definitely helps his cause.

Hoping Tampa Bay can hold off elimination tonight

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

As side as I am I have realized there is a bright side and that is that I can finally shave. Sadly the playoff beard is done.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Flukiest series winning goal since Darius Kasparitus beat Dominick Hasek forever ago.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Go Bruins. It's been a long wait to get here. They can rely on Tim Thomas so much. I think/hop the B's will come out charged and hard hitting. If they can fix their power play scoring woes, they are on their way to the Stanley Cup.

I am anxious for this game tonight.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I didn't see the game, but apparently he must have found some Mangisil for his mangina, he made it as the third start.

:D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I think it will be tough to question his toughness after last nights game. Thornton played with a separated shoulder that he got in Game 4. Won a pretty high percentage of his face offs with it. Probably the reason he seemed to get tossed from just about every big face off in the 3rd and overtime periods. Over 30 minutes of ice time with a separated shoulder is pretty good. But he didn't seem to play as big of a series over all. This only explains last nights game. Also, where did Heatley go? Only 3 more years and over 20million on his contract! Ouch.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I meant third star...oops

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Nothing but respect for Thornton at this point. :2

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

That's what I was getting at. I know it must not have come off that way. I can't stand him, but he bucked up for a big game and got a little recognition. I'm sure he'd trade it for a win, but people have noticed.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

He had a great playoff run, and that had been the big knock on him. I think he exorcised those demons.

Danny Heatley, on the other hand.....

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yeah Mike you were coming off like a Dbag who jumped the gun just to take a shot at a player you dont like, but glad to see you give him some respect for maning up.

I think both Jumbo, Patty, Gooch removed the questions this year. Its a shame the year they show up the rest of the team chose to Submarine them taking horrible penalty after penalty and just go missing. The rookies and some players shot the team in the head on 2 of the first 3 losses. When they played smart it was an even game with either team possibly winning.

Will be interesting to see what tweeks they make in the offseason. Sure Huskins, Wallin, and Nitty are gone. Wondering which role players are gone also. Will be interesting to see if they try to package Heatley to move him.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Rafalski is just retired. Lidstrom is expected to return for another year, but the Wings could lose both this offseason. Selei is not expected to return and Ericsson is likely to get bigger offers elsewhere. Need at least one big time D-man in free agency, possibly 3-4 good ones. :td


http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index....i_makes_1.html

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

In looking at the link I posted last page neither the Wings nor Sharks have a ton of cap room. Both will be looking for a top flight D man or some really good ones.

Looks like this is a big off season for both clubs where they will need to dance on the line. The only thing I wonder is if lindstrom can do it one more time. Blake hit the wall bad in his last season. While lindstrom is a better player I just wonder if he can do it again. His stick work in the playoffs was impressive.

Edit holy crap they were paying Rafalski 6 mil a season? Wow!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Kaberle will be available the second the B's are finished,we gave up two first round picks for this piece of dog crap.I just hope he don't cost us a game.
