Edmonton won game 2 against the Ducks... But I'll be the first to admit they absolutely shouldn't have

the Ducks out shot them 2-1, they out hit them, they won more face offs, they had more scoring chances, etc. Talbot won that game for Edmonton.

However, the Ducks are one seriously dirty team. Holy fuck, I can't believe what those pricks do on the ice. What I can't believe more is the amount of shit the refs let them get away with. Like, blatantly dirty plays. Right in front of the officials. Don't get me wrong, I know it's playoff hockey and the oilers get away with dirt too, but not like the Ducks. They take it to another level.

Oh well. Oilers are up 2-0 so far, and they're coming back home to some of the loudest and proudest fans. Hopefully that spurs them on to win again. The Ducks are a team to reckon with, though. They can still win this series, even if they are behind two games. And that's scary.

that, and it's still a long way to go for Edmonton, also.

Nice to see Oil fight back to tie it at a FG each...but, Ducks ultimately take it to make it a series. Hope this goes 7...!

Don't look now but the "sexiest" trade deadline addition, Shattenkick, is getting called out by his coach.

I almost do feel sorry for the Caps for their playoff demons. Seriously, what's up with them? Too many Europeans in their core line-up?

If Afro-American label was still around, he'd say the Caps don't have enough Finlandians.

You can go to the Staples Center, but there will be no hockey and you won't be in Anaheim.

Caps have life! It'll be interesting to see if Sid can play the next game...but, if not, this may be a huge blow to the Pens chances of repeating...

They couldn't put the Leafs away, and they barely won this game. The only chance they have is to attack our stars. Wondering if it's coincidence that they started 7 D-men and then take out Sid with a cheapshot to the head... As soon as Sid went down, they started going after Malkin every shift he was on the ice.... Hoping Sid is OK, I was sick after that hit

Funny how bad the Crapitals and their fans cried about the Kadri hit on Ovy, then they go and headshot Sid....

That is quite honestly the 50th time I've confused the staples center and Honda center. For fuck sakes.

No pics, Yumcha. I haven't been carrying my phone with me as I have no phone service down here. I'm restricted to wifi and it's a pain at the best of times to find a free connection

In fairness, any pic cropped and shot from a certain angle can look damning. In the replays, I saw the same thing the league did. It was in the sequence of a hockey play and Sid got caught off balance. Niskanen didn't intentionally chop him in the nuts and he doesn't have a bad rep even as a former teammate.

But to your point, nobody wants to see a player go down with a concussion, star or otherwise. It would be a shame if Crosby's out for the balance of the series/playoffs.

Something smells funny around here and it rhymes with PackoSmello.

I'm international roaming quite often but always have my phone, it's like an appendage of my arm.

My complaint was more with before that, Ovy sticks Sid in the head and trips him, which led him to fall right into Nisky's stick. However, as a hockey play does not entail raising your stick parallel into someone's face

Thanks man, it's hard to see anyone get hurt, especially the best player on your team. The only way the Craps had a chance in this series is to hurt Sid. If they do go on and eventually win the cup, there will be an asterisk next to it since they took out our best player to get there
