But what about the teams already in the area. I was reading the article that was talking about moving the Coyotes to Hamilton and they were talking about how that encroaches on the fan base for the Canadiens and the Sabres.

Red Wings tied the series with the Ducks with a 6-3 win.

Coyotes should be moved back to where they belonged in the first place: Winnipeg. Give those fans their team back.

Carolina won a huge game today! They are now up 3-1 over the Boston Bruins.... I'm not sure what happened to Boston but they just can't seem to put anything together against this Carolina team. Sure they won the first game but they've scored only 3 goals in the last 3 games.... Carolina has scored 10 goals in those 3 games. I don't see Boston digging themselves out of this hole.


And Pittsburgh get back to even ground against Washington. Varlamov was not nearly as impressive this game as he has been. He let in a couple of weak goals. And Ovechkin didn't score this game which cut his streak off.

So every series except for Carolina is tied 2-2. More than likely we're going to see at least 1 or 2 7 game series among the 4.... who knows, Boston might rally and push a seventh game and we might see all going to 7.

And yeah, I'm a fan of Winnipeg over Hamilton.

Elara: Canadiens are in Montreal... so moving a team to Hamilton would encroach on Toronto.... I won't that against you though. I understand that American maps lose their accuracy for places outside the US

Don't blame me, blame Yahoo News.

But yeah, I am shocked at how good Carolina is doing right now. What the hell happened?

I personally think it was the fact that they had a tough series against NJ and Boston got a sweep.

Boston figured they could walk all over Carolina too and Carolina is all hyped from taking a 7 game series and beating a team that most people didn't expect them to beat. Plus Boston didn't play for about a week.... no one has an entire week off during the regular season so it's probably really tough to go an whole week without playing and then try and get back into the groove....

Well, then you'd expect them to be rusty for a couple games rather than the whole series. I'm pretty sure that Boston is just choking.

possibly.... but I think it's less that they are rusty and more that they don't have the drive to win like Carolina does.... the wins came too easy for Boston so they aren't playing with as much effort as Carolina. Plus usually the under-dog in a series is the harder working one.

I guess it could come down to them choking... but either way they're done. I can't imagine them winning 3 straight.... although Carolina just did.... I guess it's possible

ooooh.... Pittsburgh just tied the game 2-2 within the first minute of the first period. This is going to be a good finish!

And that goal by Backstrom was awesome! Great pass and even better shot. I'll give props when they're due and that was a nice play.

3-3 going into OT!

Nice play to get the third goal.... I kind of hope that OT lasts for a while. I love watching games in OT.... they are full of tension... just waiting for the next goal. And the next goal could win the series for one of these teams. Pittsburgh scores and they can go home and win.... Washington wins and they have 2 more tries to win, 1 of them at home.

Uh oh.... it looks like Washington just took themselves out of this game! That's got to hurt to knock the puck into their own net like that. Pittsburgh got lucky we that goal... but sometimes luck is what wins a series....

either way I see Pittsburgh finishing this off at home and heading to the conference finals.

I'm noticing a connection in the OT losses this series...the puck deflects off of a Capitals player before going into the net. They are getting some horrible breaks here. Anyway, I still can see game 7, if the Caps can avoid hitting the puck into their own net

Washington doesn't need luck to win, they just need for the Pens not to have good luck. 2 of the Pens' wins were because of pucks deflected off of Caps players, and they can't count on that happening anymore. Caps in 7, after winning a grueling slugfest in Pittsburgh

What happened to not wanting the Penguins to go down because they beat the Flyers?

I think that the Penguins will be going all the way, even if it goes to game 7.

Oh, I don't care anymore. It's not that I want the Caps to win, it's just that I think they will. Overall, they've played better; bad deflections cost them 2 games



GAME UPDATE: I go upstairs to turn on my computer after the Pens go up 3-2. 10 minutes later, the Caps are up 4-3. How did that happen?

Game is tied again.... Crosby scored with a nice pass to himself....

Looks like this game is also going to go down to the wire....

and since I forgot about this post.... OT! but it was a close stretch there at the end when Washington took a slashing penalty with 2 minutes left....

Crosby, like him or not, is one of the best the NHL has to offer. Not every player is going to be an obscene physical force. Crosby has talent and skill; whether or no he gets involved in physical play is beside the point. If the Penguins beat the Capitals, all hockey fans should give props where props are due.

as much as I wanted Pittsburgh to win tonight I'm totally okay with getting another to watch another game between these teams. It's been an awesome series so far and I wish it was over but I'll be looking forward to Wednesday

Oh yeah, this has been a great series...I mean, 3 games have gone into OT. I wonder if it was a sign when the Caps were down 3-2 and then made it 4-3 (lol).

But since when was Chicago that good? I never heard much about them, but it seems like they are a very good team

well, it's hard to get talked about too much when you've detroit in your division.... Chicago has had a good team but they're young and sometimes inconsistent.... they are a good team though. They beat Calgary and they're up 3-2 on Vancouver (and 2-1 in the current game).... yeah, they are good, and the playoffs seem to have made them better. I don't think they can beat detroit though. Although I'm not sure if any team can beat detroit over a 7 game series.... they're just too good right now.

I had figured that they had a line-up change or something since I hadn't heard of them being that great either... then again, I live in California so I am lucky to hear about hockey at all.

The NHL is plotting against me, I haven't been able to catch a single Pens game this series because they seem to all be scheduled when I am in class or at work.

6-2?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I think that was an overwhelming victory for the good guys .

Unfortunately I missed the game. I had my man date tonight to see Star Trek (see Star Trek thread for further comments)

However, I see that Crosby scored 2 goals in that game and took goal and point lead, which Ovechkin can't retake .

So, Chicago in the West and Pittsburgh in the East.
Thankfully I have nothing going on tomorrow so I get to watch both game 7's tomorrow night!!!!! I am very excited. These next 2 games are going to be epic!

heh. I think people expected too much out of him. Same with Hiller. They're only able to play at this level because they haven't played all year. Eventually the schedule is going to wear on them too.

And I kind of hope that phrase sticks around so I can use it later on.... "haha your goalie pulled a luongo!"

Whoo hoo! I did a little dance in class when I found out the score. Yay, Penguins!

Ignorance time: Luongo?

But yeah, even if the goalie did knock one in I think that they had the came sinched.

I get to see the Ducks/Red Wings game tomorrow night since I will be at my boyfriend's work. I hope Chicago takes down whichever one wins. If I can catch the Boston/Carolina game as well that would be nice, but I don't know if they are going to show it here. Would be nice to see the competition.

I'm not 100% sure.... but I think it has something to do with Luogo letting in 7 goals in their last game. That's just my guess.

I'm watching the Red Wings game and it just became 3-1 for Detroit.... boo on them. I want to see a new champ this year!

Red Wings move on after a 4-3 victory over the Ducks. Yay, so happy the Ducks went down!

Boston and Carolina are going into OT at 2-2 as of a minute ago, at least that is what NHL.com tells me.

Yeah, I'm not sad the ducks lost but I don't want the Red Wings to repeat. Although it would be pretty epic to see Detroit Pittsburgh again but this time Pittsburgh wins. That would be awesome.

And yeah, going into OT. I hope it doesn't end quickly. The longer the OT the more exciting it becomes!

wow.... Carolia just finished off Boston. That was huge! Both #1 seeds are out of the playoffs now.

Now we know who are in the semi-finals! Detroit vs Chicago and Pittsburgh vs Carolina.

Predictions will come shortly... kind of want to watch some of the analysts say their piece before I decide for sure.

I am saying Pittsburgh in 7, I don't think that it will be an easy victory considering how well Carolina is playing. I'm kinda hoping that Chicago takes out Detroit, but I figure either way that it's gonna go to 6 or 7 as well.

Chicago taking out Detroit... come on. The Red Wings shall repeat as champions. I think people are sick of them just because they are consistent, the same every year. We are usually a top 3 seed in the West, we have gotten younger, and our puck control style of play bugs the crap out of people. I see the Red Wings winning in 6, and, the Hurricanes winning in 7. Crosby and the Pens will give the Hurricanes a tough outing, but taking out the Bruins was no easy task. GO WINGS!

The Wings almost lost to the Ducks, c'mon.

So I guess they are expecting some good entertainment from the Penguins/Hurricanes game due to the Staal brothers going head to head against each other. Don't think it is as big as Crosby vs Ovechkin, but at least every series has been interesting so far. The Chicago/Detroit game is going to be interesting to watch as well as they keep talking about the Original Six rivalry.

But the Ducks beat San Jose... so are we going to say that, because the Wings beat the Ducks, the Wings would have also beat the Sharks? Just cause the Wings almost lost really doesn't mean much when you think about it. The Wings are the Wings, its a new series, (not anymore) Wings up 1-0.
GO WINGS!

Ducks wouldn't have won if Thorton hadn't f***ing choked.

And if they take out Chicago, I still say that they will go down against the Penguins once they finish off the Hurricanes. That is my story and I am sticking to it.

Yeah, I see the Penguins winning if they get to the finals. As long as Malkin doesn't get the flu again


The Wings were good this year but not nearly as dominant as they were last year. I see Chicago giving them more trouble in the next few games. Chicago took on 2 seasoned playoff teams and beat them both fairly soundly. I also want a new team to win the cup. With the way the league is structured it is so difficult to win at all that I just don't want to see one team win more than once in a 10 year period or so.... I'd rather see teams that haven't won in a while get the glory.... the league needs the variety in winners I think.

I completely agree. It really isn't any fun in any sport when the same team keeps winning over and over again.

Unless it is your favorite team
The Wings are a much better team, though, when you look at it. The Wings also had trouble with the Blue Jackets during the regular season, as they did with the Blackhawks, but the Wings style of play, and their experience led them to a sweep of Columbus. We will have to see what happens...

they are the better team on paper.... but what matters is who is the better team over 7 games.... both Boston and San Jose lost and they dominated the regular season.... the playoffs change teams.... and Chicago has just gotten better as the playoffs have gone on. I think Detroit will probably win the series but I don't want them to.

oh yeah.... forgot to post about this one.... Pens take the first game. I got to watch most of it and it seemed like they controlled more of the style of play than the canes. Ruutu and Cole both might be injured for the next game.... and if not too injured to play it's possible they will just be playing injured which can't be a good sign for the Canes....

oh, and good game by Fleury.... he made some huge saves to keep the game in the Pens favor.

As usual, I was at work so I didn't get to see it, but I heard the score on the way home and cheered.

What will be nice is I might have a chance to to see a game when I am back there, even if it is only on the big screen outside the stadium. We arrive on the 27th and there is a game on the 29th. Whoo!

I think the Penguins have it this year.... they got so close last year and probably learned a lot from that loss.

And Detroit/Chicago going into overtime! Tied 2-2.... we'll see if Chicago can take home-ice advantage away from Detroit....

yup, it was a very nice play.... hard to not score on a 3 on 1 play though....

Chicago got better this game though. Pushed it to o/t.... they're not even close to being done.

If Chicago keeps this up, it might just go to 7. They played really tough, especially in the 3rd period, and in overtime, they had their share of chances. It is pretty easy to score on a 3 on 1, but it was set up by a great defensive play.

yeah, I see Chicago tying up the series at home.... and it will probably go all the way to 7. It would definitely be a more exciting series if that happened.

Oh, it'll be a 7 game series. I never knew Chicago was that good, though.

Finals Prediction: I think the Red Wings beat the Pens in about the same way they did last year

I would agree ziggy, it looks like a re-match from last year. But, I think the Chicago-Detroit will go to 7, and Pittsburgh-Canes will probably go to 6.

I'd be happy if they win in 5, as game 5 will be the one that goes on while I am back there. No bias.

But no, I see a triumphant Pens this year. They played against the Wings last year for the cup, so they know what to expect now and they can better prepare for it.

They are about the same as last year, the Wings gained Hossa, the Pens lost Hossa, in my mind, neither team has changed much at all. I see a repeat

The players may not have changed much but that basically means that the younger Pens got more experience and the older Red Wings got older....

I think the Finals are going to be a much more even matchup than last year. Still very likely that the Red Wings will repeat but I think the Pens have a better chance to win this year than they did last year.

And this might be the break that Chicago needed....

"DETROIT -- Red Wings center Pavel Datsyuk sat out the team's practice Thursday at Joe Louis Arena, leaving his status for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Chicago Blackhawks in doubt.

Datsyuk was struck in the thigh by a shot in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory in Game 2.

Jiri Hudler skated Thursday in Datsyuk's place between Tomas Holmstrom and Marian Hossa. The Wings' second line of Henrik Zetterberg-Johan Franzen and Dan Cleary remained intact, but a new-look third line featured Kris Draper and two players who haven't seen the ice in the series -- Kirk Maltby and Ville Leino.

Red Wings coach Mike Babcock will hold a press conference later Thursday to discuss Datsyuk's status and any lineup changes."

I wonder how many games Datsyuk will miss because of this injury. It will definitely give Chicago a much better chance to get back into this series.

That doesn't sound serious, he'll probably only miss 1.


Overall, this is a disappointing playoffs to me. I wanted to see a couple dominant teams destroy their first two opponents, have an exciting 6 or 7 game series and then have a 7 game battle for the Cup.

I hate seeing teams lose in 4 games... there is no drama.... 7 game series are far more exciting...

I mean, washington and pittsburgh was an awesome series! Same with Boston and Carolina. The 4 game sweeps from the first round just didn't do anything for me.

Well, most of the Caps-Pens series was good, but the last game was laughably bad. And I didn't like the Boston-Carolina series, because Boston played with very little heart that series. I just don't like seeing inconsistent teams trade games (with the exception of the first 6 Caps-Pens games. I don't think Pens-Canes will be that way, though). It makes the playoffs too long

Well, I caught the last half of the third period for the Pens game tonight... just in time for the brawl. I did catch the highlights and Malkin's hat trick was pretty damn awesome. Overall, Pens won 7-4! It was really nice to finally catch another game, I haven't seen one since one of the earlier games against the Flyers.

yeah, that was a good game. That cross check to the face was pretty lame. I mean, blatant shot to the head with a stick and without any real reason for it. I hope that guy gets a game suspension. I mean come on, the league has to get serious about shots to the head. It fits the criteria perfectly. Late in the game, game was already decided, hit to the head, intentional... what more do you need?

And why wouldn't you want the playoffs to last?!?!?!?!? The sooner they end the sooner we have to watch baseball or football.... bleh!!! I would love to see every series go to seven games.

And even if it's not serious, missing one game will give Chicago a much better chance to bounce back. And even if he only misses the one game he won't be 100% coming back after that... sure I'd take Datsyuk at 50% over a lot of other players but he may just become a target if he comes back injured.... but again, it might not be serious and he may not even miss a game. He might have just taked a rest for one practice and it's nothing to worry about.

and how can you say that the loss of Datsyuk was not big? 3-3 going into overtime. Having someone like Datsyuk would have either helped the Wings win the game before O/T or would have been a huge help in O/T to get the win. Instead the Blackhawks get the win and are now back in the series. Getting a win is huge especially for the younger team. They'll probably be much more confident going into the next game now.


and no suspension for the shot to the head... just a $2500 fine. $2500 is a pretty weak fine considering these players earn millions of dollars a year but I'm pretty sure it goes to a charity of some sort so it's at least doing some good.

The Wings were just sloppy early on, but, we got it back together, only to falter in overtime. Ozzy just wasn't doing well in the beginning of the 2nd period. It seems like the majority of the goals in this series are re-directs. With the way the Wings played without Datsyuk, I could see them handing a home loss to Chicago in game 4, as long as the play like they did in the last 12 minutes of the 2nd period.

and maybe that's all it was.... but again I have to say, having Datsyuk on the ice early on might have kept them from being as sloppy.... it might have been the advantage Chicago needed to stay in the series.


And opinions on the Kronwall hit on Havlat? If you watch the play the refs don't call anything.... I think the hit was pretty clean. Havlat had his head down and wasn't expecting the hit which is probably why he took it so hard. I think the penalty calls were reactionary by the refs and not deserved.... Hopefully Havlat is okay because that would hurt Chicago's chances of beating Detroit.

I think it was clean. He was hunched over a bit, if he had been standing up, Kronwall would have gotten him right in the chest area. Yea, not knowing a hit is coming always amplifies the hit once it gets there. Yes, there were a few penalties that went to either side, but, there was a little bad blood between the teams after that. Datsyuk, being a great all around player, could have helped out the Wings, but, I think we can pull out a win in Chicago.

for sure... if Detroit plays a solid game from the get go they will probably get the win.... Chicago barely got out of game 3 with that win so it's very possible that Detroit will be going home with a 3-1 lead in the series.

uh oh... Pittsburgh is up 5-2 with a minute left...

looks like they'll be heading to the finals pretty soon. Up 3-0 it's nearly impossible for Carolina to come back. And with Crosby and Malkin tearing it up like the are I'm really looking forward to the finals! It will be a much more even contest this year I think.

Oh, 6-2.... jeez... they're just not letting up.

HEY, don't diss baseball (or football, but more importantly baseball). It's a great sport (and even better when your team won the world series and you went to their parade)



anyway, was there any doubt that the Pens would win that series? The Canes just aren't that good a team. The East was a disappointment in the playoffs this year (in all but one series...Caps vs. Pens, until a pathetic game 7) , so hopefully the Wings and Hawks have a nice series (that the Wings will go on to win)

I agree ziggy, the East playoffs were weak this year. The only good series involved the Pens, as the Was-Pit wasn't bad, and it was fun watching the Pit-Phi series because of the bad blood between the teams. Anyway, the East playoffs have been anything but exciting. The West wasn't all that great, except for the Ducks beating #1 San Jose, the Wings taking out the Ducks in game 7, and, the current series hasn't been all too bad. I think that Datsyuk is coming back, and with Havlat and Khabibulan out, Detroit's chances just went up. GO WINGS!

well, the goaltending loss isn't huge.... you're going from a #1 goalie to another #1 goalie.... and one who is very very fresh. I don't think it will hurt Chicago too much there. I also have not heard word about Havlat not playing.

Detroit is probably losing Draper and Datsyuk for Game 4. Neither skated during practice on Saturday so they most likely won't be playing today.

And no, I didn't doubt the Pens would win.... I just thought Carolina would put up more of a fight. But when your tops guys are outscored like 10-1 by the opposing teams top guys it's hard to win games.

So Chicago will even it up with the Wings missing two of their best. That just means the series will go on longer. This one could very well go 7, and I'd be fine with that.

What a win for the Wings... without Datsyuk, Draper, and Lidstrom, the Wings take it to the 'Hawks. 6-1? Who would have thought that without these three players they could win this bad? With the way they played, I see this one done in game 5, with the Pens winning in 4. Looks like it wasn't going to as exciting a series as we thought it would be...

Yeah... after that game I don't see Chicago lasting much longer.... they might pull off a win in Detroit but I have trouble believing it's likely. I guess this young team has a little more growing up to do before they're ready to beat detroit....

No, I think that pretty much sealed the deal for the Wings. I really thought Chicago was a much better team than that. Oh well, Detroit will be back in the finals for like the billionth time

they are a good team... but most teams this year failed to beat Detroit.... they've just got such a dominant team/system going on. Sure a game or 2 here and there they would lose but it was rare for any team to beat Detroit more than once or twice all season.... I think Pittsburgh is the only team coming out of the eastern conference that has a realistic chance of beating them anyway.... maybe Boston if they had stayed on their game but they fell apart as the playoffs went on.

Oh, I know they're good, but after seeing the last two rounds I thought they were better.

I figured that Boston (with their amazing D) probably would have been the toughest opponent for Detroit, but like you said, they completely fell apart. I think the Pens have a shot, but they don't have consistent enough play from people not named Crosby or Malkin to beat Detroit yet

yeah.... but Detroit hasn't been totally on form either.... the Ducks gave them a good run.... 3 of the 4 games with Chicago have been a LOT closer than the 3-1 lead makes it seem.... and the top players for Detroit just aren't putting up big numbers. Datsyuk has been almost silent during the playoffs.... Dan Cleary is third on detroits scoring, which says a lot about how the team is putting up points....

I just don't see the dominant Detroit team from last year. Sure, they're still a great team but they're going to go up against a better Pittsburgh team. Sure Pittsburgh relies on their top 2 guys to win and most teams can't shut down both lines effectively. When one plays badly the other usually has a good game.

I guess I just think it's going to be a close series. I don't think either team has a clear advantage over the other.

Well, Detroit did just beat Chicago on the road 6-1 with two of their best players injured, so I don't think this series is any closer than that.

Overall, Detroit is just a better team...again...like they almost always are


EDIT: and now the Pens officially are going on to the Stanley Cup Finals

I think you mean 5 more Detroit wins. Since they'll finish off Chicago tonight, I think I'll make my prediction...Red Wings in 6. I'll even predict who will win which games:

Game 1: Wings
Game 2: Wings
Game 3: Pens
Game 4: Wings
Game 5: Pens
Game 6: Wings

Road wins are tough, but both teams are easily capable of them

4-1 series win for the Wings, here comes a Stanley Cup rematch. I see a similar series to last year... I think both teams are basically the same as last year, but, if Lidstrom and Datsyuk are out for the first game or so, expect a long series, or even a Penguins win. I would have liked to see a Wings loss tonight, just to rest up some of the players, cause now games 1&2 of the Stanley Cup are back to back I think, not good for players coming off of injuries. Well, its time to wait and see.... anticipation mounts

I think that Pens are gonna take the cup this year. It may take 6 or 7 games, but I think they will take it. Hopefully I get to see some of it since I am out here near Pittsburgh.

I just don't think the Pens are a good enough team yet. They need more production from the people not named Crosby and Malkin, and I don't think that Fleury is a good enough goalie to stop Detroit. They just aren't consistent enough yet

I think they've been getting enough production from other guys....

Guerin has 14 points, Gonchar and Kunitz have 12 points, Fedotenko has 11 points, Letang has 9, Talbot has 7....

that's really not too bad.

I also think Fleury has been better this year than he was last year. And Hossa has been worse this year than last year. Same with Datsyuk. That guy is practically a non-factor offensively.

Pittsburgh averaged 5 goals a game in their 4 game sweep of Carolina. They've got an average of nearly 4 goals per game for the entire playoffs. I think this series will be a lot closer than you and markdh think. I see it going to 6 or 7. I admit I think Detroit will win but I'm not counting out Pittsburgh. I honestly didn't think they could win last year, but this year I do think Pittsburgh has a serious chance. But again, I think Detroit will beat them in the end I'm not going to stop cheering for Pittsburgh to win.

Seriously, ziggy, quit being such a prick.

All three of those goals kinda sucked, but it is only game one. I think that Fleury did a good job otherwise and that he will be better tonight. I still say Pens in 6.

I'm being a prick because the home team took game one and I'm being sarcastic about it? I didn't resort to name calling when you and geo were talking about how the Flyers were going to lose.

NOTE: 2-1 Wings after 2

Wings 2, Penguins 0. As a Wings fan, I really don't care how lucky our goals are, as long as we come out with the win. A win is a win. Also, I am pumped at how stupendous Ozzie has been. He has been great in the first 2 games. They say Dats might be back by game 3, which would help us out. Go Wings!

well, I just have to point out that Pittsburgh was down 2-0 against Washington and they rallied to win 4 out of the next 5. I still think a win for them is possible but they MUST win the next 2 at home no matter what. Then it becomes a 3 game series and the first 4 don't matter.

I would honestly love to see this series go to 7 games. I love a stanley cup final to be decided in the very last game. It's more exciting.

The Pens will at the very least win game 3. Coming back home will be a boost to them like it is any other team.

And what a boost it was! 4-2 Pens!

We don't get Versus at the house so we had to watch it online but it was okay... missed most of the second period though so I did not like that. We are driving into Pittsburgh on Thursday and watching game 4 on the Trib Tron. I am so excited, you have no idea.

And bulls*** you didn't insult anyone ziggy, I remember you and geeogree arguing during that series.

So yeah, I want to get a Pens jersey but they, like all jerseys, are so expensive! Is there anywhere to get them cheaper short of ebay?

second period didn't really have much going on... I don't think anyone scored during the second.

well, I'm not sure if we there were actually any insults directed at any of the three of us.... sure we might have ripped on some teams/players but I'm not sure if there were any direct insults between us....

either way... woohoo on the win! just 3 more wins for the Penguins...

No, second period had no goals at all, which I am happy about... but I missed the action. Originally we were watching the feed from Canada (Hockey Night?) and it went down so I found a broadcast of the feed from Versus so it was all good. Waiting until the news at 11pm to get the highlights and talk. It is so nice to not have the sports portion of the broadcast be all about the damned Lakers!

But yeah, one down, three to go. And games 5-7 will be back on NBC so I can actually watch them on the tv!

yeah... you probably had the CBC feed... Hockey Night in Canada!

Even on TV the feed was pretty bad. Not sure what the problem was but it did fix eventually.

And yeah, I agree... I'm tired of hearing about the Lakers... Go Magic Go!!!!

Yeah, it was CBC. It was a really bad feed and it was streaming so it would freeze periodically. The Versus feed froze once but only for three or so seconds and was fine, but the CBC one was doing it constantly during the beginning of second period before it completely went down.

yeah... that might have been the problem that was giving the TV feed so much trouble too.... cause at some point it just stopped having problems and came through perfectly.

Not a surprise though... stupid "public" television... or, government corporation... whatever they want to call it... either way tax dollars go towards it and it's a terrible station.

I watched the game on ustream.tv
I thought it was a good game, the no call six man on the ice for Pittsburgh might have given them the win... they did end up scoring within the next 30 seconds or so, which would have been a power play for Detroit had it been called. Oh well, can't change the past, you just have to look forward to game 4 tomorrow night.. GO WINGS! and I agree with you geeogree, go magic!

well, did the sixth man play the puck?!? I'm not sure if that is part of the rule or not for sure but if the sixth man wasn't involved in the play then I don't know if it's actually too many men or not.

but yeah, any single missed play may or may not have changed the dynamic of the game. There were plenty of things that weren't called that technically could be called penalties... but I don't know too many people that want to see 20 penalty calls in a finals game. And sometimes they have to call penalties that wouldn't have actually affected anything but were so blatant that they couldn't be ignored.

Either way I'm excited to watch tomorrow's game.
