That was ugly. Hopefully they make an appearance in the 3rd.

I wish they could reject penalties.

I think if you manage to score 2 goals in sudden death overtime you get to win.

THIS + goal 2 was goalie interference so OT not needed.

If this is how the officiating is going to go when they play in Boston, I fear what happens in Montreal.

This isn't a Boston problem it's a hockey problem in every arena around the world.
I don't see how it's a joke, 17,000 tweets using racial slurs isn't a joke. Here's a small sample...

– That stupid n***** doesn’t belong in hockey #whitesonly



– F*** YOU N***** SUBBAN YOU BELONG IN A F****** HOLE NOT AN ICE RINK



– PK Subban = F****** N*****



– F*** PK Subban. F****** n*****. Wish he got sold



– subban is the definition of a n*****



– Someone needs to smack PK subban across his big n***** lips. #scumbag



– SUBBAN IS A F****** PORCH M*****



– F*** that stupid m***** #subban



– F*** you subban you f****** lucky ass n*****!



– Once again, Subban stop being a n*****

I seem to remember similar comments from Boston fans when Iginla went to the Pens last year instead of Boston. Of course they cheer for him now, but it wasn't like that last year at this time.

Lord knows if these came from Pittsburgh fans, you guys would have a 5 page pens hating circle jerk about it.

I haven't seem a single actual article reference 17000 tweets, I've only read that your posts with no links to back up the story.

Where is our 5 page circle jerk from this incident last year?

damn, how da hell you lose that lead with about 10 minutes left in the game. I saw the scores on my phone and didn't want to turn on the TV because I thought I would jinx it... then checked scores a little later, game over at 3-5

Seriously, this year's playoffs...2-goal leads is like asking the team trailing to start scoring.

The Hawks blew a 2-goal lead last night too before Kane rescued them.

The whole plot of Star Wars is starting to make sense to me now. Plus I now understand why Darth Vader was so good at that force choking thing.







Seriously Toronto, you know how the movies end and you still picked the losing side

Don't drag Star Wars into this now.

And for the hundredth time, no Leafs jokes during the playoffs. Leafs jokes are off limits from April through Sept. I can only take so much.

Of course, cause Canada doesn't care about the WC's and its players are busy with a little thing called the NHL playoff's.

And Canada's goalies are Reimer and Scriven's. They'll be lucky to beat China with that duo.

Kings played a mediocre game, but showed up when it counted.

Gaborik is pretty spectacular.

Kings D men are dropping like flies.
