I really do too. That hit is a perfect example of what hockey can be like when it's at it's best. Here's a team down 3-0 vs. one of the hands on favorites to go all the way, and a single heavy hard and clean hit turns the entire game around, and possibly the entirety of the NHL playoffs.

Marleau did get nailed. Didnt watch the game, but why did the sharks get the power play after that?

More class shown by Avery in his new invention of the screen play.

Wow, what a game between the Wild and the Avs.

Um, Calgary got the powerplay and scored. It turned the momentum of the whole game around.

Another example of the greatness of the NHL. They can improve an aspect on the game on the fly. Any other sport would have to wait till the off season and be approved by a majority of the owners.

This is a great change as Avery was a complete ass. He looked like someone in Pee Wee hockey. Total and complete unsportsman-like.

Oh, I only saw the vid of the hit and then Sarich (sp?) sitting in the box after that. Guess there were some altercations after the hit im guessing which led to some 5 minute majors.

kegkilla · 04-15-2008, 08:08 PM

wow complete gayness by the refs allowing that goal off the high stick in the flyers vs caps game. HOW THE FUCK COULD ANYONE POSSIBLY MISS THAT? i hate to buy into the conspiracy theory that the NHL wants the caps to advance to promote ovechkin as the new face of the NHL but calls like that and the bullshit in game 1 make me wonder. of course the fly boys won anyway so i can't complain TOO much but man so far the playoff officiating has been piss poor at best.

Ducks finally came out to play some hockey. Hopefully they can keep it up. I would still like to see Perry out there rattling up the Stars like he does so well.

ducks need to work on killing the power play. they suck shit at that.

Braen · 04-16-2008, 05:50 AM

I didn't expect the Stars to sweep the defending Stanley Cup champs. THe Ducks played like they were in a must win game and took it to the Stars, but to the Stars credit, instead of saying "Well let's just reload and get ready for game 4" when they were down 4-0, they really took it to the Ducks in the 3rd Period. I think they also out shot the Ducks by double once again.

He just assumed he'd be getting a penalty, but turns out he didn't. I think SJ got two minors to Calgary's one is how it worked out.

I dunno, TSN had a pretty good zoomed angle on the shot and it didn't look like it hit the stick on the way to the net, it went off Biron's glove and in. Either way, it was a very tough call, not as cut and dried as you make it out to be.

I dont know if its that the Ducks suck at the PK, or the Stars are just that good on the PP.
