CRAWFORD is out of the crease, you dumb fuck, Ferraro.

He was so sure that it was interference that I started to wonder if the rule had changed.

 

[Irishman]

Right. I'm stunned that he got it that wrong.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Right. I'm stunned that he got it that wrong.

Roenick says he doesn't understand the rule. Did it get changed recently?

 

[sayo]

Go preds! Fuck sleep, right?

 

[Southpaw]

Fuck yes. Preds were all over them. I could feel it coming.

 

[Irishman]

That was sweet.

 

[sayo]

Awesome! Fuck Chicago.

 

[Karl Hungus]

And now Calgary-Anaheim are in OT? What a night.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Welp

 

[Southpaw]

[Southpaw]

Blue jackets' goalie let in a couple of softies to let picksburg back in the game. They have to score again. No way they can hold on the whole 3rd period.

 

[Southpaw]

Or twice more. Penguins d getting worked.

 

[MrShotgun]

Was at the game tonight. Onme of the funnest sporting events I've attended. Game 5 in Pittsburgh to extend the series is gonna be tough doe

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Game five gonna be off the chain babby. #InGenoWeTrust.

 

[MrShotgun]

It's clear that if the Jackets want to win they're gonna have to do it with offense. They're not going to stop the Pens from scoring

 

[Karl Hungus]

This story from Kris Draper about getting his face caved in, the Wings-Avalanche rivalry, and the brawl is amazing. Everything about it. This is great stuff.

I didn’t know my face was caved in, but I knew it wasn’t good.
I knew it wasn’t good from the sound my cheek had made when it hit the dasher above the boards. I knew it wasn’t good because the referee had blown his whistle so quickly. I knew it wasn’t good because our trainer, John Wharton, had jumped over the boards right away to check on me.
I saw the blood on the ice, but I didn’t know the right side of my face was caved in.

My only thought was, O.K., this is a bad one. How many stitches?

It was Game 6 of the ’96 Western Conference finals against the Colorado Avalanche. We had to win the game in their barn to keep the series alive. The whole series was a bloodbath. To say “there was no love lost” between us would be an understatement. I rarely ever use the word “hate,” but I’ll use it here. We hated them. They hated us. That’s just the way it was.

Those series were fucking awesome. I was rooting against Detroit the whole time because I knew so many obnoxious Wings fans. 12 years old and trolling. I still have a championship hat somewhere. Or maybe it's from 2001. Can't recall.

 

[goblue96]

Those Avs-Wings series were the start of the ultra obnoxious Wings fan. And the intro of the "Hockeytown" moniker. So, glad that they missed the playoffs this year.

 

[kella]

Kuznetsov is 0 for 2 on open nets this series.

 

[kella]

Somehow Tom Wilson is playing like Peter Forsberg

 

[kella]

Holy fuck that's a bad call. Gardiner is holding him in the crease.

 

[kella]

90% of caps playoff goals allowed in past 10 years are junk just bouncing off of someone and landing on the stick of the other team. It's insane. They don't give these up in the regular season.

 

[MrShotgun]

That's not a good guy to lose track of at the blue line

 

[kella]

Another Puck falling on a leaf stick

 

[MrShotgun]

Foligno a late scratch for the Jackets.. not off to a great start before this game

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Foligno a late scratch for the Jackets.. not off to a great start before this game

Is Marc-Andre "Sieve" Fleury in the crease tonight? If so you've still got a good shot at a W.

 

[Southpaw]

Huge game for the Predators tonight. Need to go on and close it out. Don't want to mess around with going back to Chicago.

 

[MrShotgun]

Bobs playing the part of the sieve tonight

 

[goblue96]

Bobs playing the part of the sieve tonight

He can do that. The stink of Philly is hard to wash off.

 

[Southpaw]

Fuckin place is lit after that goal.

 

[Southpaw]

Crawford just knocked it in his own net.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

BRING ON THE CAPS.

 

[Southpaw]

3-0 Ho Lee fuk they bout to sweep these bastards.

 

[goblue96]

CRAWFORD CRAWFORD CRAWFORD

 

[Southpaw]

That's a wrap.

@BearDownUofA

 

[goblue96]

Pants off? @Southpaw

 

[Hachiko]

Lolololololololololololololololololololololololo
lolololololololololololololololololololololololo
lololololololololololololololololololololololo
lolololololololololololololololololololololololoLOL!

 

[Southpaw]

Pants off? @Southpaw

Been off since I got home. I skipped my last class of the year so I could watch the whole thing.

 

[Simo77]

Utopia slippin. Lots of missed opportunities for the Crawford chant in here over the course of the series. Pretty unreal to see the closest thing the NHL has to a dynasty taken a part like that.

Crawford actually played well. Chicago's best player probably. Low bar though. Nice of Toews to check into the series with 5 mins left in it.

 

[Southpaw]

Yeah I knew they weren't watching when it got lodged in Crawford's blocker and then he slung it in his own goal and it was just crickets in here.

 

[goblue96]

I was watching Habs-Rangers. Mrs. Goblue, the Hawks fan, was fed up with the Hawks and didn't want to watch them get eliminated.

 

[sayo]

What the fuck are the Sharks doing?

 

[Hike]

Trying to win in OT without taking a shot.

 

[sayo]

Getting outshot like 10-0 with 4 icings...

 

[Hike]

Damn sharks. Did they even pretend to have an offense the last 20 minutes of OT? Or the most of the third period.

 

[sayo]

#justsharksthings

 

[sayo]

Damn sharks. Did they even pretend to have an offense the last 20 minutes of OT? Or the most of the third period.

They looked like they were playing another sport out there. So frustrating.

 

[Hike]

They looked like they were playing another sport out there. So frustrating.

They definitely looked like they weren't interested in scoring a goal. I don't blame Martin Jones. At some point his team has to help him out. Just frustrating that they were up 3-1 and then seemed to mail it in.

 

[sayo]

If not for Martin Jones, I'd be asleep by now. Definitely not his fault.
