Hope the Pens get back on track tonight...I can't stand the lack luster effort the last couple games. Especially the 3rd period of game 3. 2 goal lead, and they just acted like it was a skate around.

They say a 2 goal lead is the worst lead in hockey.

Blues in 7

They were the better team for games 1-3 plus the first ten minutes of the 4th game. Kings dominated most of last night though

NYI has played the Pens better than any other team in the East all year long... and now the Pens look passive... tonight is a huge game, if NYI wins it I think my mind's smart money is on them to take the series... though my heart will always have the Pens winning it all

 

[ACamp1900]

Still feel the Ducks really let that one slip away last night... that shot by Dat. on the final tying goal was just unreal... rarely have i seen shots that hard since the days of Big Mc. in St. Louis... that guy had a damn shot now.

The Wings are their own worst enemy. All they need to do is take it one game at a time now. They can win tomorrow, just have to minimize penalties. LETS GO WINGS!!!

Almost forgot, Sharks are gonna take the brooms out tonight.

 

[ACamp1900]

The Ducks were very sloppy in teh back end yesterday... and they allowed far too many open shots from too far out.

 

[Andy in Sactown]

Goddamn Marc-André Fleury.

I was at the JOE last night for the wings game......incredible! Reminded me of a college atomsphere! Agreed with above though...Howard got a few SERIOUSLY lucky breaks last night! Best of 3 series now with at least one more home game!!

Canucks

As much as I hate the Canucks that call on sedin was atrocious.. Especially for overtime.

Put the whistles away stripes.

Love the sharks game through. They could go deep if niemi allows them the opportunity to.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

So far the Hawks and the Blues have impressed.

Going to be a wild couple of days of Hockey. #excited

Edit: Bylsma saw this and decided to start Tomas Vokoun (it was just announced).

Kings win!!!! Go Kings Go!!

Blues just can't finish. If you're not gonna play the CPR (Cracknell-Porter-Reeves) line anyways then I don't get not carrying Tarasenko. Blues have been the better team in probably 2/3 of the periods but just can't finish and give up crappy goals (see Jackman Game 2, 4, 5).

Blues need to lose some of their depth and go out and get a 40 goal a year scorer

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

That was a pretty weak goal let in by Elliott.
He pulled a Crawford.

GO KINGS GO!!!

Close it out on Friday!!!

What exactly did Tarasenko bring to game 4? Zero shots in about 5 and a half minutes of ice time? That won't get it done at this level. Not against the defending champs.

First career playoff game after being benched for the first 3 games, give the kid a break.

Everyone that has watched this series knows the Blues have been the better team against "the defending champs"

 

[ACamp1900]

3-2

 

[calvegas04]

If it wasn't for the bone head play by Quick during the first overtime game the Kings would have wrapped it up tonight.

 

[Fbolt]

Hawks have been playing Sharp!

 

[ChiRish]

HAWKS.

As Johnny K would have said, never underestimate the power of the mullet.

Except where it matters most.

And why would you put the quotes around the last part? They actually are the defending champs. The quotation marks would be more appropriate around the words "better team" in that sentence.

 

[STLDomer]

If it wasn't for the bone head play by Quick during the first overtime game the Kings would have wrapped it up tonight.

If it wasn't for multiple bonehead plays by Jackman in multiple games the Blues would have wrapped this up too.

3-2

Perry is a fuc*ing punk....can't believe he kicked Howard in the nuts.

3-2

I forgot where u moderated the NHL thread? This is a place to discuss NHL, were discussing. calvegas has a fair point and I had a fair point.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

The Kings are gritty (and skilled), you gotta accept that. Down 2-0 in the series, they ratcheted it up a notch, like any playoff team worth their salt does. Now it's the Blues turn to follow suit.

*id like to see the Blues come back. We are staring down the barrel of 3 West Coast teams left, meaning I gotta stay up until 1 to watch. Bummer......
