I was just thinking about that, Ovie seems to be the only one with any fire under his ass last few games. Another year to get some experience in the playoffs Hell Marco is playing better than half the damn team and he's supposed to be washed up.

:shakehead @ officials...Vancouver had pretty much their entire roster on the ice in OT and the refs did not call it.

And lo and behold, the Canucks get a PP and score later on...

^ I'm not even going to get started about Kesler holding the stick and making it look like it was a hooking penalty. :shakehead


I believe Tim Peel is the worst referee in the League.

Ovechkin broke Jonesi's rules. Apparently these moderators have more power than we previously thought.

What's typical, someone coming in here on the bandwagon for a team, you probably don't know who the starting goalie was before the first of the year? Don't look up the answer.

I wouldn't call 49 points in 36 career playoff games under performing. He didn't lead his team to victory but there are a few other big money guys on that team that I would point the finger at first before Ovie.

Ehhhhhh...sorry man, but I think Ovie was pretty good from the games I was watching.

The rest of his team? Not so much. Backstrom was definitely on another orbit in terms of where his head was...

I laughed at the graphic and then lamented "That's probably going to be my Flyers after Friday!" It should be a good Final in the East with two hot goalies in Thomas and Roloson going up against each other. Hate to throw in the towel especially after last year but we just can't figure Thomas out.

Thomas and Rolo are on a ride these playoffs, it's the reason their teams are in it.

I meant his whole team, since he's the captain I guess this is proof that screaming and swearing at your team doesn't motivate them... Who knew? Wondering if they keep BB or not.

Very surprising results for me in the Eastern Conference...that's for sure. I still am shocked at Philly...

But, maybe being down 3-0 is exactly where they want to be.

LOL, don't try to trick me! I know the answer is Steve Yzerman! Just another great move by those Saw Movie Producers, not only do they make great movies, they're making the best hockey team there is! Barry Melrose coach of the year!

Philly is the big shocker.

It's gonna be nuts to think that the Flyers will be out in the 2nd round.

I picked the Caps because I thought they could beat a very good Lightning team...considering the Pens were a mess.....but nope, they continue to roll.

From what I've seen...the Caps did a VERY poor job of adjusting to T-Bay's trapping.

Anyhow, yeah...It'll be interesting to see what happens to Washington during the off-season.

So you're basing your WHOLE thought on four weeks of a TV show, when one episode he let a tirade of f bombs go. I seem to remember Gwenies head skirt using a few choice words as well. And if you think he doesn't let it run like that, I've got an incline for you to buy.
