Crawford was something else last night. I truly felt the Wild should have had that and forced a game 7 but when an unlucky bounce ends up on Kane's stick... there isn't much you can do.


puck luck. I thought the game was over when the puck just skipped over the stick of the minnesota player who had a wide open net

BTW - lol... why let reporters like this in the locker room? Would be funny if she asked that yesterday

I don't watch hockey really, but glad Blackhawks keep moving on in the tourney. Chi-Town needs another trophy!

Shutout by Price! I have to admit that after Saturday's beating I was'nt feeling super confident (but never lost hope). Now we are at game 7. Habs deserved a major props for getting this far, for a team that all analysts thought would get destroyed by the Bs, now anything is possible.

Go Habs Go!

rooting for Habs, Pens, Kings, and Wild.  So far Pens and Habs are the only ones even guaranteed game 7s.  Really disappointed with the Pens and Kings letting teams back into their series and now having the odds stacked against them though :(


So.... Blackhawks and Habs now?

Actually the Kings are my second favorite team all the time (next to the Pens) so I gotta go for them from now on.  Though after last year I'm not confident in them vs. the Blackhawks even if they make a comeback in this series.  I have nothing against the Blackhawks they have just won twice recently and I like to see a new team win it unless I really like a player (like Quick) or have a pre-determined allegiance.  Overall my favorite to least favorite winner out of the teams left would be LA, Montreal, NY, Anaheim, Chicago, Bs.  Boston is the only team I really don't like mainly because of how Lucic and Marchand (probably butchered that) play.  That's the kind of style I don't like though seeing Iginla win a cup would be really cool to see.  Also I still like Rask and Chara but those two A-holes ruin my image of that team despite my affection for those 3 other players.

Yeah, but you'd love 'em on your team lol.  Everyone hates the other guys tough guy/pest.  And every tough guy/pest on every team does shady shit from time to time.  Not that I'm sticking up for it, I like that Looch is physical and won't back down, I do not like that he can take it too far at times.  Marchand's great at being a pest, however, again, I'm not in favor of the shady things he does.  That having been said, Marchand was +36 (3rd in the League) and Lucic was  +30 (11th in the league) this year.  So they're doing allot of things right, as well.



Blech, great way to start it, less than 3 minutes in Bartkowski blows an assignment. Oi. B's aren't playing very well. Come on guys, at least make this a game!



Well, failing a miracle, looks like Montreal's going forward. It was a pretty poorly officiated game, but the Bruins came out very slow in the first, and that first goal on a blown coverage by Bartkowski, was a total gift. The 13 bars they hit this series didn't help out at all, either.

Blech, oh well, good luck to everyone else's teams.



Omg what a relief! I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Despite winning by 2goals with only 40sec left I was still super nervous and scared knowing how Bs never give up.

So happy my Habs won! After the bruins and after sweeping TB, in theory Rangers should'nt give us to much problem. Hopefully this will be the case but we never know, anything can happen in the playoffs, especialy true when you look at what they did to the Penguins.

It's been way to long since the last time the greatest hockey team in the history of the sport won the cup! Go Habs Go!

You tell me! It was such a stressful game to watch. I was on my toes the whole time. Both teams played very nervously, but in the end, it's the one with the most heart and passion that won.

Seeing Lucic being such a bad sport at the end, when shaking hands (his exchange with Desharnais, especially)... I got a lot of satisfaction seeing him "cry" like that. =D
