I'm guessing they didn't make a miraculous comeback. I stopped watching after the first...

Yeah Ouch, they PULLED Luongo. Thats how bad they were doing.

Sharks win!

 

Didn't see the game, but still good news.

Neither game really went as I would have expected. 5 goals on Brodeur and the Wings shut out?

Nice work, Jersey. You couldn't even sell out your first game of the second round. That's just plain embarrassing come playoff time.

Detroit had a good 2000 empty seats as well...

Winnipeg needs to get their team back.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one, Oerwinde. At capacity doesn't their arena hold like 15000 people? That's not enough for Gary. He'd rather put a team in Nebraska.

How many seats is Columbus filling? Or Atlanta? Or hell, even the former Jets themselves Phoenix?

 

Edit: Just checked some attendance stats. Looks like the Islanders are the best situated for a transfer. Their attendance looks to average out to 12-13k per game for the last 2 seasons, while all the canadian teams sell out or come close to selling out.

See, but Gary doesn't care about Canada that much. He knows that the six Canadian teams will be able to support themselves financially, for the most part. Personally, I think he's trying to get hockey into lesser known markets , like Carolina and Atlanta, in an attempt to make the NHL more viable to american tastes. Because that's where the money is.

Urgh.

 

Rangers down 2-0, and it's all Lundqvist's fault.

Going into the 2nd OT for Ducks/Canucks here... looking tired. GO 'NUCKS!

Is Bulis greased up or something? It seems like he's managed to just slip out of about 5 bodychecks along the boards there in OT.

 

EDIT: Holy crap. *hopes he didn't wake anyone up* Hurray! Cowan scores. Banked it off Giguere.

Great for Canucks. (Even do i hope they'll be beaten in the series, so that the Sedins' will join up in The World Championship... )

 

 

And yes. Today it begin. The World Championship, that is.

 

Sweden - Italy.

 

And the only NHL-player we got in Sweden at the moment is Alexander Steen...

 

...hooray.

Did you see the shot from inside the net? Its like it just phased through his pads or something.

No. I must have missed the net cam shot. I saw the usually centre ice zoomed in shot and one from right above Linden along the boards.

OMG! The Devils sold out a game!

Theres no place for the puck to get through. It just suddenly appeared on the other side. Cowan is some sort of wizard.

Jesus,enough with the overtimes already!!

Why? Because the CBC overtime montage just keeps getting longer and longer?

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I see New York and Buffalo are trying to challenge Vancouver and Dallas.

RANGERS WIN! RANGERS WIN! RANGERS WIN!

 

Jagr, Avery, and Lundqvist are awesome!!!

 

OT is awesome! I love long OT games.

 

More hockey = Good!!

 

 

P.S. How in the blue blazes is neither Jagr or Avery not one of the three stars.

 

The 3 stars should've been Lundqvist, Miller, and one of either Avery or Jagr (probably Jagr).

 

Geez... did NHL.com watch the same game I did? Morons.

 

P.S.S. The refs sucked in that game. It's like theyw ere trying to give the Sabres the victory. HAHA! They failed in their mission!!! worst officiated game of the play off thus far,. and there have been some doozies.

Edited April 30, 200718 yr by Volourn

in overtime games the 3 stars are always the two goaltenders plus the guy who scores the game winner.

 

Anyway, the Canucks need to change something with their power play, obviously what they're doing doesn't work.

What little I caught of the Ranger/Buffalo game was limited to short bursts of sattelite radio. I caught some of the first at lunch, a little of the third on coffee, then the first overtime on the way home. Then Rosival scored right when I pulled up at my second job an hour later. I had my window rolled down and got a few looks when I 'whoo hoo'd' at that point. Then I just said 'Rangers win in double overtime?' and they nodded and kept on .

Go Lundquist!!
