[stay true]

So that justifies the non-call?

No, but you can't complain that the refs missed the one on Franzen when he did it as well.

 

[stay true]

Of course I can complain. To be honest, I can't remember a check from Franzen all night that was as bad or worse than Murray's.

Anyway, I'm crying over spilled milk, so I'm moving on. I'm rooting for the Habs now, hopefully they can force game 7.

It was a few minutes after the original hit, he blindsided Murray and got him flush in the jaw. It wasn't as heavy as Murray's, but it was still a blindside hit to the head.

This business about blindside head hits is a new hysteria, stemming from Savard's injury. Murray making that hit is nothing like Franzen crosschecking Nichol's face. That's always been against the rules, for obvious reasons.

Anyway, the hit was not to the head. Look at Franzen's arm spring up after the hit compared to Savard's head whipping to the side. Totally different.

Canucks have their backs to the wall, are down 3-1 and down two defencemen and are pushing back at Chicago. Would like to see this series go a bit longer.

 

[Bradesmaen]

So would I, we could do with the rest

 

[Hawks1523]

Game 7.

Hoping Pens lose game 7, but I doubt it will happen.

 

[thejester]

And the Flyers have won another against the Bruins...interesting times in the East.

 

[YIIIABLETTT]

Cammalleri takes his tally to 11 goal this playoffs and somehow we are still hanging in there agaisnt all odds. Roll on game 7

 

[damochandler]

game 7. nothing beats it and the habs might just get them

 

[PalaceGun]

I wonder if any betting firms have opened a book on next season's Calder Trophy...

Last night PK Subban led all skaters with 29 minutes of ice time and was a +2. It was his 10th NHL game (8 playoff games).

Well, he was beaten to the AHL rookie of the year by Couture... so Couture wins? 36 games played now (11 Playoff)

Tyler Ennis won it.

The American Hockey League announced today that forward Tyler Ennis of the Portland Pirates has been named the winner of the Dudley (Red) Garrett Memorial Award as the AHL’s outstanding rookie for the 2009-10 season, as voted by AHL coaches, players and media in each of the league’s 29 member cities.

Subban and Couture were both named in the AHL rookie team of the year.

Goaltender: Alex Stalock, Worcester Sharks (56gp, 37-16-2, 2.63gaa, .908sv%, 3so)
Defenseman: John Carlson, Hershey Bears (48gp, 4+35=39pts., +37)
Defenseman: P.K. Subban, Hamilton Bulldogs (71gp, 18+34=52pts., +43)
Forward: Logan Couture, Worcester Sharks (42gp, 20+33=53pts.)
Forward: Lars Eller, Peoria Rivermen (66gp, 16+37=53pts.)
Forward: Tyler Ennis
, Portland Pirates (69gp, 23+42=65pts.)

Couture looks like a clever player, I liked his goal in Game 3 when he saw Howard cheating across his crease and he fired the puck at Howard banking it off his pads.

Depending on off season movements I'm not sure if he will get much action higher than the 3rd line next season though.

Canucks have their backs to the wall, are down 3-1 and down two defencemen and are pushing back at Chicago. Would like to see this series go a bit longer.

Would love to force a game 7. Canucks have been their own worst enemies in the first two rounds, giving up 5 minors per game and matching that with a 67% PK. Just awful!

Go nucks go!

 

[Bradesmaen]

Sharks v blackhawks it is.

 

[PalaceGun]

Bieksa stinks!

 

[PalaceGun]

Ryan Kesler's face to appear on the side of every milk carton in Vancouver tomorrow morning.

 

[doofdoof]

Hawks were too good.

"Next year" again.

 

[PalaceGun]

The first NHL game at the Igloo was between Montreal and Pittsburgh. Could the last game at the Igloo be between the same two teams?

Montreal won that game 2-1, as well.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Wish they'd confirm the start time for the Sharks v Hawks games, but they won't until after all series are finished. So I'm hoping that Philly v Boston finishes tomorrow, that way we can start on the Friday (US Time) so we aren't completely rusty and I'd get to watch it for once.

 

[TheStinger]

Pens have won their last 4 game 7's so I expect nothing less than another win.

As for Chicago, I hope they make the Cup Finals........just so Marian Hossa can lose three straight Cups.

 

[Lethal]

Early goal for Montreal, hopefully its not the same result as the last Game 7 they were in.

 

[catters078]

again the pens let in a goal in the first 5 minutes.

concentration seems an issue for pittsburgh opening games these playoffs.

 

[PalaceGun]

Looks like nerves more than concentration. Lucky not to be two down.

Nice start to the game, Cindy.
