NHL ping
They say records don’t matter in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. All that matters is having a “hot” goaltender and this year’s cup finals seems to prove that. If Gretzky were still with the Kings, I’d probably root for him but instead I’m rooting for 40-year-old Martin Broduer. To have those sort of reflexes at that age is truly remarkable.
Go DEVILS!
Hockey is still going on? I thought it was a winter sport. [Sarc from the Red Wings]
Note that all games are also on CBC, for those living in border areas that can pick up the over-the-air signal.
BOTH teams have hot goalies, and the Kings have a pretty impressive road-win record these playoffs!
But the Devils also have lots of playoff experience. Lets hope for a good series.
GO KINGS
Go Kings! Go Scuds (Scuderi) Pens fans miss you. Also Quick has been steller in goal all season. I like his style better than Broduer plus he’s American.
Yeah the Kings win. I geuss as a Flyers fan I’m obligated to root for the Kings (aka Flyers-West).
Nicklas Lidstrom to announce retirement; Yzerman on future of Red Wings
NEW YORK — Nicklas Lidstrom, the best defenseman of his era and one of the greatest of all time, will announce his retirement, an NHL source indicated to Yahoo! Sports. The Detroit Red Wings have called a press conference for 11 a.m. Thursday...
Gionta gets accidentally hammered by a cleared puck after another Devil gets a misconduct.
However, the referees bungle an icing call (is it, or isn't it?) and New Jersey gets a pseudo-gift goal to snap Jonathan Quick's shutout.
The second period ends with the score Los Angeles 4, New Jersey 1.
Know nothing about hockey, except that John McMullen used to own my team the Astros. A pox upon that bastard.
Thanks to everyone who shared in another great hockey season! Have a safe and prosperous off season!
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings for winning the Stanley Cup!
Congratulations to American born Jonathan Quick for winning the Conn Smythe Trophy!
