Hawks living comfortably inside Loungo’s noggin. Looks like a CF of a third period coming up. Hopefully a tied series on Easter.

Please No Mike Emrick announcing. He is a total tool and could not announce a mite game. Give me Pat Foley any day

Always always always call the high hits and from behind.

I agree. It's the only way to get players to change their pattern of behavior.

GO SHARKS !

Bolts 8 Pens 2?

There must be some mistake. Has there ever been such a lopsided score in the SC playoffs?

In answer to my own question, take heart. Francis Clarence McGee, (November 4, 1882 – September 16, 1916) was a legendary ice hockey player during the early days of hockey for the Ottawa Hockey Club, nicknamed the Silver Seven.[1] Although McGee was blind in one eye, he scored 14 goals in one Stanley Cup game, and five or more goals in a game eight times. Despite a brief senior career — only 45 games over four seasons — he led the Silver Seven in its reign as Stanley Cup champions for four seasons (1903–06), playing both centre and rover.[2] During World War I, he enlisted in the Canadian Army and died in battle in France. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945.

What a nightmare that was.

At least the WB/S Penguins clinched their AHL series 4-2.

I’m hoping Pittsburgh does likewise on Monday.

Nashville Predators write their own history and advance to the second round for the FIRST TIME!! It’s great to be a fan! It’s a great day for hockey!

Welcome to the big show. I'm worried about the Preds based on their winning record against the Wings this year. I'm also worried about the Hawks for the same reason. Hopefully the Wings will face anybody else in round two.

There’s going to be a new champion.

[airborne]

I'm happy for Vancouver. Luongo is a great goalie.

I'm also thrilled with all of the Game 7’s.

But I will be on pins and needles tonight when Pittsburgh plays their Game 7...

[shove_it]

I'll do my part by wearing the 2009 SC Champs tee that a Pens-fan-friend sent me as I root for your Pens tonight. Rarely does that tee get worn and never in public.

That was a great game last night but I'm glad the Hawks couldn't quite pull it off.

[shove_it]

Pens are behind 1 - 0 but playing in the Bolts ice.

[shove_it]

Pens got 2 man advantage with 1 min to go.

[shove_it]

Bolts come back from 3-1 down.

Damn!

[airborne]

The Penguins season ends the way it began.

Weakly, with no offense to speak of.

[shove_it]

Sorry, Bud.

[Lakeshark]

Someone will have to revive this thread now that the Pengies and Sabres are down for the count.

And then there were 8...........

Hockey Ping!
