Pittsburgh fits that. Hence, the LePens. Chicago, they aren't that loaded. And their goalie is no-name. So, can't give that sort of respect to the Blackhawks.

Yup. The asterisk is for winning without a name-brand goalie.


Yeah. I went there.

I dunno...Not sure if both players have the green light to duke it out?

But, it would be entertaining.

Sorry to be naive but I noticed they record hits, is this kind of like a stat in football? And if so do they keep track of fights like that?

They keep track of hits but it's the home team statistician who does it so its not necessarily completely accurate.

If you want to find fight stats, www.hockeyfights.com is the place to go. If you go there check out Shawn Thornton and Brendan Bollig and you'll see why yummy and I wouldn't mind seeing them square off, they're 2 of the best pugilists in the league (who can also play good hockey, sorry John Scott).

The Maple in Maple Bruins was the cause of blowing that 2 goal lead.

In one game, Hawks score more than the Pens did for an entire series against Boston.

I'm glad we're doing this triple overtime thing while I'm in Nevada, it's only 9:30 here.

Woohoo! Hawks draw first blood...score 4 times on Rask. He's human at least for 1 (well, almost 2) game.

Wacky double deflection triple overtime goal, Rask would have to be superhuman to get that one.

Curious what happened to Horton though, didn't see anything that could have caused an injury.

Tell your buds that the Hawks are up 2 games to none.

Had to be a weirdo goal in a game like this. Usually how it works when it goes that deep into OT.

Great, great, great game though. Lived up to the billing...Countless heart-stopping moments.

What fight in the Hawks to come back from 2 down against such a game Bruins team. I'm sure you won't blame that on "injuries", right?
