I have to add one more thing about last night's game. Those Chomp Card things looked hideous!

Riot!

Also, last 2 teams that beat the Canucks in the playoffs went on to win the SC.

As for the Penguins, I've made it no secret that I'm not a fan of Fleury at all. Even in their championship year when he was "on" in the playoffs, he had two players in particular who played in front of him and saved his bacon in the Finals. These two individuals left after that season, and the Penguins haven't advanced past the second round since.

I'm not going to name them, because just thinking of them makes me want to see them take a slapshot to the groin.

and thats the key..

guys have been clearing out players and pucks most the year and it has showed in his record during regular season. same goes for Vokoun, played great in front of him as well.

im far more concerned about Gino's overall attitude than Fleury to be honest.

The funny thing about that is the people at Maple Leaf square are contained by police, fences, and a highway.

Last 3, actually.

Even better. I want SJ to win the cup just cause I want the choker label completely gone from Jumbo Joe.

I feel like tonight decides the series for the Blues or Kings. Blues win and they keep the home-ice advantage, and are guaranteed one more at home (which I have a feeling they'll need). Kings win and they steal that advantage, and go back to LA having taken the last 3 games. The Blues won't recover from that, and it'll end in 6 with a "delayed" sweep, just like last year.

At least Phil Kessel has been good in this series.

One of the negatives of Zdeno Chara, might as well have a bus driving in front of you while you try to make a save.

Chara is having a bad game, but you know he'll bounce back. His legs are banged up and he's having a little more trouble than usual handling the speed of the Kessel line in transition, he's had some bad luck on that goal, and some more bad luck hitting Lucic in the face with the puck.

Just glanced up in time to see that goal. WTF was Holtby doing???

He was pretty much on the boards when that goal went in!

Holy **** what a warrior shift by Boychuk. Everyone who likes sports should make sure they find it and see it.

Ugh. Toronto came out in the 2nd and laid an egg.

Very predictable. Ryan O'Byrne and Mark Fraser on the ice is hilarious.
