Hawks didn't want it this year, that was plain and clear. At least it was quick 🙁

HUGE overtime win for the Rangers tonight. Having the chance to win a series at home is always a good thing, and with them being the best road team in the league and already having two road victories in this series, having to play a possible Game 7 in Montreal isn't intimidating at all. This series is far from over with these teams being pretty evenly matched, but I'm happy with what I have seen from the Rangers in these last two games, and if they keep playing like this, they should come out of this series on top. Credit to Montreal though, they're giving us a fight and it has been a thoroughly entertaining and at times frustrating series.

The Rags/Habs series has been the second closest one imo. So evenly matched. Bit of a lucky play in that Kreiser's shot turned into a perfect pass for that OT winner - but good teams sometimes make their lucky bounces.

Pens put the Jackets away last night. Great work all around to get out of this first round quick. Now the boys can rest up, hopefully get a couple guys back and wait to see who they will play next.

Also - saw an amazing stat on the local Pittsburgh feed of the game last night. Last night's game was the first time the Pens have been able to put the exact same lineup on the ice for 5 games in a row, since last June when they won the cup. It's just incredible what this team has been able to accomplish this year with the amount of injuries they have faced.

Sullivan deserves the third nomination for the Adams

Well, the satisfaction of watching the Hawks get swept didn't last very long for me. My brother in law lives in Nashville and is a Preds fan and he's sending me texts that read #Smashville non stop now.

Along with chiding me for the Blues not sweeping the Wild. If the Blues advance and play the Preds and lose.....i will literally never hear the end of it.

Great win for the Rangers, needed that badly because we probably have a better shot of winning game 7 on the road than game 6 at home.

Sounds like Chi-Nash is a lose-lose series for you.

I would have much rather faced Chicago. Not only because of the brother in law aspect but because I consider Peca Rinne one of the part owners of the Blues. He's single handedly won a good dozen or so games against the Blues the past few years....and he's friggin as hot as any goalie can be right now.

Like any other team in the playoffs....I'm confident if the Blues play their game they could take the Preds in a seven game series, but it wouldn't be a surprise in the least of the Preds won that series. That's if the Blues get their crap together and end the series with the Wild.

[gmillerdrake]

Dang. Was hoping the Leafs could pull it off.

[KevShmev]

I am glad I didn't have to make that call on the Bruins non-goal in OT.  I could have seen it going either way.

[gmillerdrake]

B's just got screwed. That was a goal. The only reason Anderson got touched is because he kick saved. He wasn't ran into, he initiated contact.

[KevShmev]

Well, he was in the crease, which is where you can't touch the goalie, but when you are on a rush like that, it is nearly impossible to not end up in the crease and make some contact.  Tough call either way.

[TAC]

They just got screwed again because the d man just covered the puck with his glove in the crease.

Of course all this means is that the Sens will win.

True. But, again....the only reason he touched him was due to the kick save. He was cruising past until then.

Yep. Clear as day.

[King Postwhore]

He even tried out avoid the goalie.

I heard that and thought of you Tim!

Dammit. Well, more alcohol.

Cheers!

Glad for ya King!

YEEEESSSSS!!!!!!

[King Postwhore]

Glad for ya King!

Thanks Gary.  Bedtime!  Lol

Hockey Gods like to torture Bs fans. The deserved that win. I think the two reviews could've gone either way.

[KevShmev]

Ottawa blew a 2-goal lead, and then got every break imaginable.

They got two PPs at the end of the 3rd period.

They got lucky with two plays in the first OT (the non-goal and then the guy putting his hand on the puck on the crease).

And they still lost.

Crushing.

[gmillerdrake]

This is utter fuc%ing bullshit that any time we touch a Wild player a penalty is called. Fuc%ing horseshit.

[gmillerdrake]

Horse shit.

[gmillerdrake]

The officiating should be ashamed of themselves. Or at least send the Blues and apology card.

I'm still tired from staying up watching the game.

The Blues should be ashamed of themselves for blowing a 2-goal lead twice.  You get the sense that if they don't win this in OT, the Wild will take the last two and complete the comeback.  I am almost expecting it.

If not for a couple questionable/weak callls against them in the third the Wild don't get that momentum. Perron is tackled at center ice with no call then twenty seconds later Boumeister is called for tripping a guy when they were jockeying for position in front of the net.

The refs didn't give up the goals but they threw two gallons of gas on a near burnt out ember. It's horse shit.

[gmillerdrake]

Lookey what happens when the refs put the whistles away

 

[KevShmev]

Whew. Now I can breathe.
