So very true. Hockey and baseball are the only sports (okay, some will argue soccer, but I just don't see the beauty of that game) where you don't need a lot of scoring to have a great game. A pitcher's duel is a wonderful thing to watch, and the Bruins-Canadiens game proves the point for hockey. Well put, Captn Sacto!

I thought you were onside here!

Sharks take the series tonight in a real battle. They killed a five minute major spanning the end of the third and start of OT. 4-3 on maybe the only rebound Quick gave up in the last two games, Thornton buried it!

If the Blackhawks get past Vancouver, something I still consider unlikely, they won't get past the Sharks and Niemi. We dominated them all year. Famous last words I know, but I'd rather face them than Detroit!

Whatever else happens in Game 6 of the Bruins-Canadiens series (I write this at 15:23 of the 2nd period), it will be remembered for two horrible calls by referees. In the first period, the Habs scored a goal that was ruled not a goal because of an early whistle. And now Milan Lucic has been thrown out of the game because of a hard hit on Spacek which, while it was definitely hard and Spacek definitely is injured, doesn't warrant being tossed!

Agreed on both counts. I'm still pissed off about that goal that was ruled not a goal.

I agree on the non-goal(what is with those early whistles?!?), but I disagree with the Lucic hit. He had to be tossed for that one as it was a 5-minute major(hit from behind) in which a game-misconduct is automatic.

I watched the game between Vancouver and Chicago(after watching the Jays smoke the Rangers of course), and boy oh boy, I WASN'T disappointed. It was AMAZING! I was on the edge of my seat(well, the edge of my couch actually) almost the entire time.

Cory Crawford pretty much was the only reason it wasn't 5-0 for Vancouver(this was obviously before Chicago tied it with a SH goal)! Some of the saves he made were play-of-the-year! I thought for sure that Vancouver was toast when they received a penalty for holding in OT(if it wasn't for a great save by Luongo, they would have been)! However, it was the player given the penalty that scored the winning goal! Burrows kept himself onside, and created the turnover by Campoli!

Now that the monkey is off their back(and specifially Luongo's), I think they will play the next series with a lot more intensity(like they did in game 7, with lots of hitting!). I don't think they will have nearly the amount of difficulty they had with Chicago, and should beat Nashville in 5 games.

I wish I had seen the game. I checked the listings and saw vesus was carrying the flyers-sabers followed by the canuck-blackhawk game and CBC had the bruins-canadiens. I don't get the CBC, so just didn't check. Was switching chanels and the NHL network had the game. Wish I would have known. Saw the end of the flyer game ( I think Jen gave up on them too soon) and am watching the canucks-blackhawk game now. Vancouver is ahead 1-0 and look more like they did the first 3 games. Chicago needs to start playing much better.

Go Sharks

It's a good thing the Flyers don't rely on "fair-weather friends" for their entire fan base, dear Jen!
