Stanley Cup Picks

Looks like there are singles available for tonight's game via TM.  Ignore the "Currently not on sale" message and click "More info" to get to the ticket page.

I know nothing of this offsides you speak of....

Nonetheless, Anaheim probably deserved a win in Detroit this weekend having played as well as they did.  Both games very likely could have gone to OT.  You East Coasters should take a nap tomorrow evening as I seem to remember 3 of 4 games in this series going to OT back in 1997 (I had a law school final the morning of the 3 OT affair in Anaheim that I bombed...).

Yesterday's game reminded me so much of the 2003 3OT affair.  Giguere kept Anaheim in it until the Ducks could finally catch a break.  And, far be it for me to point out that Anaheim is 5-2 at the Joe since that game.

overtime playoff hockey is the grade destroyer. i bombed a final after the nedved goal

[vansmack]

My favorite part was after the summer break, the professor sought me out and asked what happened (apparently she expected me to do better).  I told her that I was up until 4 AM watching an OT hockey game and just wasn't prepared/alert for the 9AM final.

She was so appalled, but I was fine with it.  I'm sure I said something like "Playoff hockey, what are you going to do?"

and she answered, "badly on your exam, obviously."

I was never going to be a property lawyer anyway....

and a quick word from those not in the playoffs: The NHL has loaned an unknown amount of money to the Phoenix Coyotes for payroll and rent payments

where's rick tocchet when you need him?

Oh yeah!  Caps are the only team up 2-0 in the semis after 2 games!  Off to Pittsburgh.

Maybe they can keep Sidney out of the crease next game.

Sour grapes?
I concur though...loads of 2nd and 3rd chances for the kid....though his last goal was pretty much garbage time.

[shemptiness]

Quite the opposite.  I'm a Caps fan.  Crosby scored Steckel-like goals.  Compare that to what Ovechkin did.

[chaz]

Yeah..all of OV's goals were from way outside...the last one esp. was suuuweeeeet.

I still say Crosby's last goal was pure garbage though...goalie pulled, desperation, nothing but a stat.

[godsshoeshine]

sid's the only pen thats come to score. pretty frustrating, both games in dc were winnable

i think the caps win anyway and by no means am i saying that the pens were robbed or anything like that, but if we're calling goals garbage, cooke was clearly interfered with on ovies second goal
