GReat game last night. It was like a heavy weight bout with the leagues two biggest superstars going tit for tat all night. Ovechkin was amazing last night and Crosby was no slouch either. In the end Ovechkin got a little more help than Crosby did. I thought the Caps dominated puck possession most of the night, I know the Pens technically outshot the Caps but it seemed the Caps had it in their offensive zone alot more. Both goalies played well, I didn't think either gave up any soft goals. Pens will be dangerous at home this one isn't over by a long shot. Bo was last nights game a good game, that is playoff hockey t it's best regardless of who you were pulling for.

Wings need a win in Anaheim. For some reason the Ducks always give the Wings a hard time.

Time for the Wings to step it up tonight and regain home ice. Fuck the Ducks.

Ducks get outshot 46-23 and still win 2-1 to take a 2-1 series lead over the Deadwings. ;D

You have to admit that was a pretty poor whistle that took away a clear Wings score. The rules are the rules and calling it no goal based on the whistle was "correct" but the whistle should have never been blown, it was too quick IMO. Oh well, Wings still have plenty in the tank to still eak this series out, I wouldn't count them out.
Can't wait for game three in Pittsburgh tonight, Go Caps!!!

Quit rooting the Caps... Obviously, this is the series for the Pens tonight... They desperately need the Malkin and Staal lines to be the difference... they've been complete non-factors thus far... Let's Go Pens!

Malkin is the star quality name and he has been a pseudo nonfactor in the series but honestly Staal and Sakora as individuals are equally as big of disappointments thus far IMO. They have produced nothing in this series and it's noticeable. I agree this is a huge game for the Pens, I would actually be surprised if they DON'T win tonights game. The home crowd should really energize them. Don't take the Caps rooting personally, I like the Pens and if they end up winning the series it actually won't be a big deal to me but my oldest is a huge Ovechkin fan and watching this series with him has been a ton of fun and great bonding between us so that is why I am rooting for them (technically my favorite team missed the playoffs altogether ) P.S How about Wisconsin born/native Dave Steckel with two playoff goals for the Caps so far....wooohooo!!!

I know you root for Ovechkin... that's why I put that smiley face up there... He's been great thus far.. As has Sid... but you're right about Staal and Sykora.. and even Kunitz has been terrible thus far... None of those three have a goal in these playoffs.. That was supposed to be the Pens strength.. everyone knows about Crosby and Malkin... but the other guys were the ones that the Pens staff and fans thought would be the difference this year... it hasn't worked out so far... hope it starts tonight or they're done...

I had to follow on sportsline. it was on Versus here... but I didn't stay up to watch the third period... the NHL has some shitty TV deals... we get lucky b/c of FSN Pittsburgh carries almost every Penguin game... b/c Versus sucks and isn't offered everywhere...

Not only do I have Versus, I have Versus in HD where I live Plus we have the NHL network so NHL On the Fly is on in our house every morning, and we get the NHL ticket or whatever it's called so we don't miss much in our house ;D The TV deals for the NHL have not been ideal but it hasn't bothered me too much. Though that bald guy announcer for NBC has got to go. Frankly I like the Versus analysts alot more than NBC's, JMHO. I do miss the ESPN guy (forgetting his name right now) that does the playby play, still works for them, usually see him doing the national championshp game of college anymore.

The rules are the rules and calling it no goal based on the whistle was "correct" but the whistle should have never been blown, it was too quick IMO. I stayed up for the whole thing, watched it all. And you are exactly right, maybe that fucking ref should have better positioned himself behind you know the goal and he could have seen the fucking puck was loose and that was a fucking goal. The Wings need to play like they did in the third for a whole fucking game instead of just a period. And hey Hossa how bout a fucking goal this series. Scores 60 in regular season and cant get one in the playoffs yet. WHAT THE FUCk. End rant.

This isn't new for Hossa.... he's been a bigtime underperformer in the Playoffs for his whole career (except with Pittsburgh last year... he was good for the Pens playing alongside Crosby).. but he's a chronic underachiever in the playoffs....

Last nights Pens-Caps game was fantastic. The overtime period may have been the best period of hockey I have ever seen in my life. When the Pens scored I was disappointed, not becasue they won but because it meant the game was over. That said I would be frustrated if I were a Pens fan. Last night they had EVERYTHING in their favor... home ice, motivation from being down 2-0 in the series, Malkin showed up big time (finally) and yet it was still 2-2 and went to OT where anything could have happened. I will give you that Varlamov was incredible last night but he's been incredible throughout the playoffs since being inserted and frankly I think he'll probably stay that way so if the Pens are going to claw their way back into this thing Fleury is going to need to be better than he's been (second goal that tied it was a soft goal by Fleury), their Defense needs to stiffen and they need Sakora and Stall to show up, Malkin finally showed up but the other two are still MIA.
On a side note I thought Ovie was not on his "A" game last night and still had a goal and an assist. Gotta love the Great Eight
