This is the first time I've seen Tampa Bay this year. They are good !!!
That was a waste of ice time ....... Pittsburgh will dominated!!!  maybe. But they better pick up their game. They looked pretty lethargic last night.

Another great game tonight.  Pittsburgh came out on fire in OT. Outshot Tampa Bay 41-21. Sid the Kid comes up big.

I feel sorry (just a little bit) for Ovy-chicken not making the grade. He's a great player and deserves a Cup at some point. Maybe Sid will get another one, after all the BS he's been through.

Many great players have had Lord Stanley's Silver Chalice elude their grasp (Marcel Dionne is the toughest for me to see out). Ray Bourque had to make the move (with the Bruins' fans blessings) to get his; had he stayed with the Broonz it would not have happened. Like I said earlier in this post, he may have to play out his contract and seek another team if Washington can't fill the roster to support his talent. Ya gotta have a deep, balanced team on both ends and excellent goaltending to kiss the Cup . We all know that; they who love THE GAME.

Many great players have had Lord Stanley's Silver Chalice elude their grasp  Hope Iggy gets his last shot with a contender; Avs should trade him somewhere that may happen. He posted good numbers this year for a losing team, but he's lost that step or two at age 38. I think he thought that he could teach the young Avs winning ways, but that hasn't happened. I believe he has one (maybe two) left in the legs and needs to be with a "contendah" as a good third line winger and power play man.

St. Louis was flatter than the ice sheet last night. Passes-poo, Power Play-poo, Coaching-poo, Unit Play-poo-poo-pa-doo.  Elliot had his first not-really good-game of the playoffs. Couple'a softies, but then some great stops...no team in front of him tonight, though. San Jose played hard on them.

On a different note, I really enjoy the intermission reports with Kathryn Tappen, Mike Milbury and Keith Jones. Kathryn is definitely NOT hard to look at AND she knows hockey, Milbury is Mlibury, hard charging player & coach and Jonesy was a treat to watch as a player and is an excellent reporter.

Damn Tampa barely escaped that one.
Yup, that's hockey. Great third period. Wonder what was said in the Pens locker room between 2 & 3? I hope the Blues have something for the Sharks tomorrow.

I'd put him in Sunday.

Fleury's in.
Sounds easy to say after the game is over but I called it before it started ......... WHY?  The 1st goal may have been stopped by a bigger Murray. The 2nd goal Fleury was too aggressive and the third he over committed himself and recovery was impossible. Leave Murry in and if he stinks, then play Fluery in Tampa. Now they'll go back with Murry and the pressure on him will be huge. Actually, I wouldn't want to be the coach in having to make this decision.

Ohhhhh boy, game 7 in Pittsburgh Thursday night.  Don't have to work...yeeehaw! Warm up the recliner and grab a pizza for the showdown. Should be a great game for the Prince of Wales trophy.  Who do you like?

Who do you like?  I'm going to have to pull for the Lightning. I've been very impressed with their scrappiness. They may not have the talent of Pittsburgh but they are like Energizer Bunnies.

As a Bruins fan, I hate to admit that Kessel has made a big difference. He's a huge talent.
I'd like to see Tampa go to the final, but I think the pens will do it.
I pulling for St Lu tonight.

As a Leafs fan you have know idea how much I'd like to see Kessel win a cup in his 1st year away from the Leafs!!! Smart move boys, trade away your only goal scorer. But I still think it will be SJ.
