    I forgive you, I hope your series goes 7 as well, even if I will not actively root for the Pens to win at all...although I think if we manage to finish off the Isles, Pens would be a better match up for us than Rags.

    Isles always play the game clean. Think Brouwer dinged up de Haan too.

    Nice to see Tavares is right about his guys being able to always play the game cleanly and with discipline.

    Clearly Tavares is allowed to cover the puck with his hand, leading to the opening goal. Since he noted how the Isles know how to play within the rules, and always do so, this was obviously allowed for him.

    Gotta love Pierre...could be interference puck was long gone. St. Louis was literally stick-handling with it and fumbled it as he was getting hit. Boarding I can sort of buy, but interference that was not. That puck was long gone just like it was long gone from Visnovsky last night in Caps/Isles.

    Pekka Rinne with the Not Top 10 moment of the playoffs. Puck got stuck in his gear after he raced out to stop a hard around. Ref literally had his hand down each leg pad trying to find puck. Probably took 3 or 4 minutes of Rinne checking every nook and cranny in his gear before he found it...

    Might have to just listen on the radio anytime it's in OT after that finish. Great game, tough series. I didn't mean to harp on you too much lurking, I just found the idea that a tied game with 2 periods to go being impossible to win for the Caps was a little odd. 2-2 going back to DC, each...

    Heart you bro, fuck my life though, why another OT? Every game between us this year up in Nassau has gone to OT. In before we're talking about this every thing before Game 6 where we'll get to freak the fuck out again. Fuck my life. I almost want to say just make it quick either way. I...

    If we're talking about the same play, I think Johannson literally had to be trying to miss the half empty net and tip it back towards Halak. Crazy last 10 minutes or so, chances both ways. I know it's 1-1, but the pace makes me think we don't get past 1st OT. Someone is going to score, I just...

    Johannson with a literal tap in off a great pass from Ovechkin. Holy shit that reminded me of Federov not looking up with under 5 minutes to go in Game 7 against Philly back in '08

    Islanders bro, Islanders. Tell their PP to provide more excitement. Odds Caps get a PP in the 3rd?

    Or basically what happens when 6'4 meets 5'10. Not that you want to blame a guy for being short, but it wasn't like Wilson left his feet into the hit, and he didn't get his elbow up, just pure shoulder looking to hit the guy who just had the puck.

    Wilson with his reputation calls. 2 for kneeing cause Isle tries to jump out of the way of a normal check, then 2 for charging because he's 6'4. The 2nd hit was kind of to chest and head simultaneously, but it was more based on height difference...and all shoulder from Wilson.

    Also Orpik will reportedly return. Wonder where he actually got cut, I'm sure he got stitched up but the way he went running off and with the blood on the ice wonder if he was worried it was very bad.

    Yes. They won Game 2 coming back from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits, I'm sure it's entirely possible they can manage to win a game that is 1-1 after 20 minutes.

    Tie game? It hurts to give that up obviously, especially right after losing Orpik, but it's not like Isles took the lead with it.

    Shit Orpik running off ice got cut somewhere up high by a skate. Game was secondary for a second there. Hope it's not bad.

    Sounds like Johannson is a go for us tonight, Fehr is definitely out for at least tonight and Thursday. Rumors are someone else could get scratched (Glencross likely candidate)...I'm assuming they bring Latta in to cover center for 4th line, hoping Glencross is scratched for Burakovsky.

    Somehow only 1-0. Not that we haven't had a couple chance, but we need to get more through to Halak. Troy Brouwer has been dogshit.

    Bleh Carlson had Halak completely fooled, but rang the iron. No idea how Tavares managed to poke that puck wide on the other end. I'll take 0-0 after 1, everyone knew the Isles were going to make a push back at home.
