NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League today announced the dates, times and national broadcast information for the 2013 Stanley Cup Conference Quarterfinal round, which begins Tuesday, April 30th. Information on the U.S. broadcast networks for games later in the round will be released as it is determined.

Your Pens GM must be frantically shopping for a decent goalie at any price from the teams already eliminated.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Shero made a sweet deal already, with T.V.

I was sitting here counting down for the Airborne fireworks - right on schedule. Pens suddenly woke up with a vengeance and walloped the hapless Sens by a football score.

[airborne]

There was a wicked rain storm that passed through here, and I lost my satellite signal. So I put the game on with my cell phone and Pens App.

They scored 2 quick goals to take the lead, and I just kept listening (even when the signal came back).

I watched the replays, but not the live action.

Now I may have to listen to game 5.

"The more work, the more hits, the better for the Pens have in the Finals."

Don't be lookin' so far ahead there, FRiend.

I know, I know.

It’s easy to believe!

Bummer! Good thing your Army Airborne training kicked in. Find a friend with cable service.

They stated on HNIC that the double-OT Game 3 was 17 minutes beyond the longest that Sens G Anderson ever played in one game; after a decent start, he did look fatigued & ordinary as the game got into the later stages.

And on Pittsburgh’s part, this was one of the most machine-like performances I’ve seen by any team this year...

[shove_it]

Yeah, I was watching. The Sens’ building sounded like a church after that blitz. But they were still wigglin’ and managed to get another one past your first string goalie. That’s a weakness in the Pens, they’re streaky.

“Now I may have to listen to game 5.”

I can remember pulling my tabletop radio into bed with me under the covers as a kid and listening to the play by play of the iconic Red Wings production line - Able, Lindsey and Howe. When the crowd would roar, my mom would hear it and take the radio out the room and tell me to go to sleep. In a way that radio play by play was almost as vivid as TV in my mind’s eye when delivered by Budd Lynch.

Cool story!

Hockey fans are a special breed, and stories like yours are a big reason why.

The story about the Hawks v Wings series is great. Pressure’s all on the Hawks now. Pour it on RED WINGS!!!

Here’s an excellent story about Budd Lynch, Detroit’s Voice of Hockey. I don’t know if he is the author of: “he shoots, HE SCORES!” but he had a unique way of delivering it...

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/14/sports/hockey/detroits-voice-of-hockey-leaves-a-sad-silence.html

There are a lot of good stories about Mr. Lynch. One of my favorites is the one where, in a poker game he was winning on a train out of Montreal, the one-armed Lynch left for a break. When Lynch returned to the game, he caught Gordie Howe setting fire to the Kleenex box he used to hold his cards.

WOAH! Wings shutout Hawks to go up 3-1. Could it happen? Could the mighty Blackhawks fall to the lowly Red Wings at home 1-4 Saturday? Toes is worried about his team “hanging their heads” - that’s not a good omen for the #1 team in the NHL hockey fans.

[RedWing9]

Lowly?? Suck it shove_it... Wings rock while the Blackhawks roll...

[shove_it]

Get a clue RW9 - I’m a BIG RED WINGS FAN!

[Yaelle]

Killer game last night but we (kings) did deserve that win. I really want the kings to win this round, but I will be feeling sad for Niemi. He’s a great goalie. A worthy adversary. Not that our Jonathan Quick isn’t awesome!

Go Kings!

[mikrofon]

Well, the Wings can't just lie around, they still need one more win to seal the deal....
