Might have woke the neighbors on Steeger's goal. Holy cow, what an awesome game.

Third period: Chicago playing with desperation, Vancouver playing like a team up a game playing on the road.

I'm wondering how Vancouver - with all their talent - didn't get #1West seeding. The only weak spots I can see are their 4th line and their 3rd D pair. The rest of the roster is Olympic caliber players ... I really like Kesler.

That was a Michigan Tech type powerplay!

Thanks for the reminder. All I can say is, thanks for two of our five wins.

And congratulations on being the one and only WCHA team to not sweep us at least once.

wait a minute....

savard bit somebody???

hahaha. this 'repeat offender' is going to get a longer suspension than last time. maybe miss the series with matt cooke and the pens?!?

justice!

Looking at those replays, Carcillo has zero chance of proving Savard bit him. You couldn't see anything.

Someone here is new to playoff hockey.

Not really. It was textbook interference--as simple as that. Refs chose not to call it. Didn't matter in the end.

Hahaha you guys were offended. I only made the comment because the Blackhawks had multiple breakaways. Don't say that wasn't familiar on the power play!


And thanks. Enjoy searching for a new coach.

Just noticed the Bruins are scoring 3 GPG in the playoffs, tied for 7th...

Some things have fallen into place for them, but they look like an entirely different team.

It's official. John Anderson WAS the scapegoat in Atlanta.

Q: When the coaching and management changes were made a few weeks ago you said that one of the reasons for it was the team's failure to meet expectations and make the playoffs. If you can re-sign all of the free agents that you want to keep do you think this team can make the playoffs next season with any major roster changes?

Rick Dudley: I fully expect it. ...

So, it's all Johnny's fault that was dealt the cards he had his first year, and then improved the team to the third best record the team has ever had? And Rick Dudley is going to take that and continue to build upon it?

Carcillo is such a thug and such a pansy.

Btw, Savard was essentially saying after the game that Carcillo jammed his hands/fingers in Savard's face, implying that any marks on his hands were caused by Carcillo's actions, not intentional biting.

Not sure if there are any articles quoting him on this.

From AP:

BOSTON - Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard took a bite out of Philadelphia's Stanley Cup hopes in Game 1 when he scored the winning goal in overtime.

And in Game 2, he actually bit Daniel Carcillo's finger, the Flyers forward said.

Carcillo complained to a broadcaster during the game that Savard bit him after a whistle at the 5:55 mark of the second period. Savard slashed at goalie Brian Boucher's glove, drawing a penalty and the ire of several Flyers who descended upon him.

Carcillo said after the game that he hasn't been bitten since grade school. He called Savard "pretty cowardly."

But Savard asked what Carcillo's finger was doing in his mouth anyway.

"I think he tried to pull my teeth out," Savard said. "If that's biting, I don't know what to say."

Looks like no Bill Guerin tonight for Pittsburgh.

For Montreal, Metropolit is back in, Maxwell out. Still no Spacek.

Do or die for Detroit. Not even the Sharks can choke away a 3-0 lead.

If SJ wins tonight I am going to be very unhappy with you for writing this.

I've said it before, but it is sheer idiocy on the part of the NHL to schedule the games the way they did tonight. No justification for it.
