^ I thought the Oilers won the cup that year.
Oh right, half their team was from the friggin' Oilers.

Damnthat guy has a big mouth. Who is that
You're kidding, right?
It's Mark friggin Messier. It hasn't been that long since he retired....
ummmm..... okay.
Moving on....
4-0 Carolina!! If the game ends with a Carolina win (and it looks like it will), we're going to game 7. No one expected that! Good for Paul Maurice. Crazy series.
Yea baby Caps win 5-3 against the Rags!
Can't wait for game 7 on Tuesday!
And it's in DC! Not happy that they gave up those last two goals, no need to give the Rangers anything to build on. The Rangers get their coach back tomorrow too, and by the looks of him from yesterday's game, he's gonna be one fired up SOB.
The Caps just need to keep scorin'... The goalie play has improved since the switch, but Varlamov's never been in a Game 7 before... Then again, he's only played in a handful of games to begin with so I hope he's not phased.
I hope that Thornton and the Sharks win tonight. Can't believe they are facing elimination in Anaheim
Quoted for truth.
I think the Ducks are going to take the series. Crazy.
Poor Thornton, every time his team finishes in the 1st spot they get knocked out first round.
I wasn't too concerned with the last 2 goals. The Rangers look like a beaten team. Lundqvist can only carry that team so far. Drury and Gomez have essentially been non-existent in this series.
Varlamov has been against the wall the entire series. Down 3-1, each game is like a game 7. Varlamov has been impressive.
Something that slipped our collective radars, but isn't too surprising. Brashear has been suspended by the NHL for 6 games. TSN link.
Seriously, what is up with the Ducks? They are playing like a team possessed.
Thornton should be like guys, can we not finish first anymore? I'd really like to win a Stanley Cup sometime before I retire.
That was a pretty cheap shot. Betts never saw it coming and it was way late.
No argument from me.
Alas, the Caps aren't dependent on him so his loss isn't much a deal for the team.
it was a very cheap shot, how he didn't get a penalty i have no idea. And then the dubinsky incident where he claims he was bitten... what a dirt team you would think this was the flyers
The rangers aren't going anywhere so now i can officially start golf season. Now lets go any team but boston.

Congrats to the 'Hawks!
They'll have a tough challenge playing the Canucks in the 2nd round. I say Canucks because Anaheim has the Sharks under control.

Agreed. Good for the Blackhawks. It's about time that the best logo in sports does well in the playoffs again.
I wonder what the +/- of Keenan being fired is?
Awesome fight between Pavelski and Whitney. Pavelski nailed him with a few good shots and then took his own helmet off to make the fight more fair. It's the code....
Listen to this BS...... because I live in the Ducks television area, the game is being shown on Fox Sportsnet instead of on Versus. Because of that, no HD for me. It looks like crap on my HDTV.
No argument from me. I really want to see the 'Hawks advance. I think it's gonna go 7.

Pavelski totally owned Whitney. Great fight.
Are you honestly surprised? I really hate this blackout s*** in all sports. It's ridiculous.
Oh, I'm not surprised at all. It just pisses me off.
Fox Sportsnet has an HD channel, but they don't show the game on that channel, now do they?
Tonight is an exception though- the Lakers game is on the FSN-HD channel, so I can understand why they aren't showing the hockey game. But usually they're showing bull-riding or fishing or some other crap on the FSN-HD channel instead of hockey.
But again, no alarms and no surprises.

There isn't a FSN2? In NY and in MD they have duplicate channels in case of something like this happening.
Is California really behind the times with this? I mean honestly, there are so many sports teams in your state!
i'm watching on versus in HD... so glad i payed for the center ice package
surely whats on versus for you? A black screen?
I'm still amazed how Dolan (the rangers owner) also owns the network (MSG) plus the garden as well as MSG Plus in which the devils and islanders are on (He bought it from Fox sports, isn't buffalo on MSG also ) I can understand him being allowed to own the arena, team and tv channel but other 'competing teams' channel. How is this allowed?

No FSN2 that I can find. California is most definitely behind the times with this. At least it's always nice outside, right?

On Versus for me is...... MMA or Toughman or whatever it is when there's 2 guys in a octagonal cage beating the crap out of each other. Awesome
