Did Vancouver even try to play hockey tonight? They were too busy trying to "outphysical" the Hawks that they forgot they can skate with them.

Quenneville with another excellent coaching job on the way to a sweet road win.

And I am really not a fan of Vancouver. I still have hatred left over from their cheap crap with the Wild, etc.

Well, we agree on that part of it.

Fantastic win tonight.
Vancouver's not worried about Byfuglien, no sir, not at all. (Pay no attention to everyone taking shots at him all over the ice).

That was not a goal. Lu got arseraped and bulldozed.

I don't like Vancouver either but that was a good goal. That's why you crash the net.

Classy Vancouver fan gives Byfuglien the finger...right in the middle of the picture...sweet jersey though.

And shove the goalie into the net before the puck gets in the net? Can't say I agree.

I've seen worse go uncalled. 3-4 guys in a crush all going to the net, it's hard to make that call.

I have too, and it doesn't make it right. Not that VAN was gonna win tonight, but that was a terrible call.

Well, it looks like Krejci is done for the playoffs with a broken wrist. Huge loss...

Re: 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Mega Sharks, Giant Octopus, Sid's Stache and Other Horrors

Yeah... that was a really shady non-call.

I guess it's not reviewable, which is kind of a shame.

Is there any way for all four Western teams to all get eliminated this round? No? Shoot.

That might be the only way an East team will win the Cup.

One report speculated was a separated shoulder, one says a broken wrist, one says he had to be taken from the arena in a wheelchair. I don't believe any of them at this point.

He was hurt on a clean hit and didn't return to the game. That's all that is fact so far. Anything else is pure speculation on the media's part.

At this point, though, I wouldn't put it past the Bruins to beat anyone who they play. The team has a ton of character. Krejci's loss is a big one, especially when combined with Sturm (and the reality that as impressive as it is that Savard is back, and amazing as it was that he got the game 1 OT winner, he's not playing at full capacity). But I don't think this is the sound of nails being pounded into their coffin yet.

Montreal or Pittsburgh are tough teams, and each could beat Boston in the next round. But even banged up, I wouldn't put it past Boston to prevail in the Conference Finals, should they finish the job against Philly.

Dislocated wrist, already had surgery in Baltimore.

Yet another huge injury for a future or current Pens opponent.

Id like to see Zach Hamill get some ice time ...Serious post.

Shouldn't Bertuzzi be in that photo instead of Howard?
