No, that's only for the regular season. In the playoffs he should've went up to Luongo and apologized and given him a hug.

No, that just the way it seems with that call w/ 2 minutes left in the game.

The two minutes in the second, when the third started my announcers said that the Ref inform the Caps bench about that maybe "no call" I'd have to see it again to really say anything about, but it doesn't matter.

No, the roof opens so they're able to air it out


The trip on Semin was a no call for sure for whatever reason..

Luongo needed a hug....he was shedding a few tears during his post game interview.

Again, I'm blown away by the never-say-die attitude of the Hawks. 3-1 lead...blows it and let's Vancouver take a 4-3 lead.

Hawks then tie. Then, Vancouver scores again to make it 5-4 and I'm thinking...it's definitely going to a game 7 now. Hawks tie on an unreal wraparound by Kane and then Toews with the PP tally to take the lead...

Wow.



If it really is against the Wings...this may be quite the entertaining Conference Finals. I just may not survive it as I don't think my heart is strong enough to take on any more of these roller-coasters.

Congrats Yummy.

What I'm most impressed by is the 3 youngest players on the team getting 6 of 7 goals in a huge game.


And Sundin Failed to take another team over the hump.

Agreed. We needed to close it out at home. Gonna be a crazy game, for sure.

This series has been so close, one lucky bounce will end it.

'grats Yummy. What an insane third period.

Don't want to jinx the Wings at the Honda Center tonight, so I'll withhold the smack talk for now.

I don't watch the Ducks play much, but I've never seen a Ducks game where Getzlaf didn't get into a fight. That dude can throw a punch, too.

it's going to be one hell of a game. Not sure what day the Conference final starts though. I doubt the East final will start on Friday, so I'm going to guess the east starts sat, and west sun.
