3-0 Caps. Semin is playing out of his mind.

Do you agree that NYR could be in trouble if they dont win tonight? I think that the Caps will be able to figure Henrik out and take Avery out of the game plan of being a pest, btw Avery is a second rate Claude Lemeiux or Esa Tikkanen.

That shite doesn't worry me and I doubt it bothers Varlamov. He was 4-0-1 in his first 5 games before the loss Saturday. His first career start was in Montreal, which is a crowd similar to MSG's, if not more rabid. He led his RSL(arguably the second best league in the world) team to the finals with a 1.63 GAA facing 30-40 shots a game. He hasn't caved under pressure yet and I don't expect him to now.



BOOOOOOM! This man just became the youngest goalie in playoff history to shut out the Rangers at MSG. 56/57 so far in the series. This is a series again. Lets roll.

No, a Bruins fan. I'm in the Cape area. Using the NHL playoffs to get me into the CCBL season.

I have money on you guys tonight, Baloo. I have faith. Chicago isn't ready for that environment. Although, Toews has been absolutely money in this series. Amazing that he has stepped it up this well.

I gotcha. I'm originally from northern CT. Bruins are my 2nd favorite team, unless they're playing the Habs. Guess it's time to dust off the black and gold jersey

The C of Red is beyond cool.

Nice equalizer goal set up GlenX. That said, miserable start by the Flames and most of the times, it looks like Phaneuf is the only guy playing defense. He's tipping away pucks and then there's no help.

Crap, that was close....

One more thing, I didn't think it was possible for me to hate a Flames defender more than I hated Cory Sarich. Sarich, however, has played quite well this year, and I now kind of like him. Only to have Aucoin play worse than Sarich ever played.

The worst part of having Reghr, Giordano, AND Warrener out with injury means Aucoin is getting tons of minutes. and usually against good players. Ouch.

I am glad to see the Hawks in the Playoffs and doing well, sorry Baloo. Now the Habs just need to find the form of the 92, 86, and the 70's to make hockey interesting to the casual fan. The Habs are the Notre Dame of Hockey, as they go the League goes.

Once the Flames are eliminated (I'm sticking by my Hawks in 5 pick), I will start cheering for the Hawks. A very likeable team.

Can I also mention how much I hope someone kneecaps Bertuzzi so he can't skate anymore? Oh, and I hate our coach. Keenan is a dick who loves slow veterans who were good back when Keenan was still paying attention to scouting reports.

I'm feeling very negative right now. So let's same good things: Pardy's playing real well. And there's been some good hitting.

I wished someone would take Bertuzzi out. I guess I still hold a grudge for the bull shite move he pulled year or so before the lockout. If him and LaRaque or Lucic hooked up in a battle that might be worth the price of admission.

I still hold Keenan responsible for the downfall of the Blues. Best way to take a club out of the mix is hiring Mikey. Nothing more insane when the Blues hired Keenan and he went and got Gretzky for the farm and of course Grant Fuhr had been way past his better days, they let CuJo walk because of Fuhr.

Bert's not just a terrible, terrible player... he is extremely unlikebale. If Avery didn't exist, he'd be the NHL's most hated player.

Oh, I know this the Chicago broadcast, but could they be any more in the tank for the Hawks? Aside from the biased calls this is an actual quote: "For those who care, Rene Borque (Flames) is back on the bench".

ALL Flames fans care, you arse.

Im watching this (CAL v CHI) from a TSN feed on Versus. It amazes me how well TSN and CBC do hockey compared to NBC.
