congrats bronconick. Unbelieveable. The Sharks erase a four goal lead and win in OT, 6-5. **** that. Nice play. What a game.

Goodnight folks.

What the I don't even.

Edit: Versus plays the LA Kings 5 goal playoff comeback "History will be made" commercial right after the game. That's cold.

I went to bed after the first period. Did I miss something? :rolleyes:

Seriously, do the Kings recover from this, or are they toast?

The first ten minutes of game 4 will tell the story. They may very well be roasted. they were much better in the third period, but my goodness, a four goal **** job in the playoffs?!

I went to bed when LA make it 5-2, but I had a job interview this morning, so I guess I had good reason to miss the come back?

Hopefully you're not posting from your Blackberry, at the interview :eek:

That would go about as well as last night went for the Kings. :p

Happy to be shilling once again for DGB :D

NHL fans learned something new this week when Colin Campbell revealed the existence of a "hitting zone" behind the net where, apparently, headshots are legal.

This got me to wondering: what else don't we know about the NHL rink? So I dug into my old cartography library, and came up with this original map that lays it all out:

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs: Can the goalies be stopped?

That is simply amazing. And with the NFL Schedule released yesterday, we can start speculating on Winter Classic 2012!


First things first, January 1st is a Sunday, so does the NHL take on the NFL (assuming there is a season)?

I think so. There are 13 1PM games that day. Have a 5 PM start or something like that.

The Meadowlands, Lincoln Financial Field, Lambeau, Gillette are all booked for the NFL, Yankee Stadium is booked for a bowl game.

So far, we've had:

Pitt @ Buff
Det @ Chi
Philly @ Bos
Wash @ Pitt

No way Washington and Pittsburgh are in two straight, so they are out. I gotta figure the Rangers will be in, as New York hasn't been involved in any. They're an Original 6 club, in a HUGE market. But unless the NHL wants to host at Citi Field (which I doubt), I think if they play it'll be on the road.

Philly/NYR at Beaver Stadium/Citizen's Bank Park?

Yes, Philly was in it recently. But that's a solid rivalry, and both stadiums are open.

What about LA/NYR at the LA Coliseum? Two huge markets. Decent weather, I don't think it would be too hot...it's in the 50s for that time of year usually. If you're worried about going up against the NFL, do a Saturday night start...5 PM Local Time or something.

Most NHL arena's are kept in the mid 60°s anyway, so having 50° temps wouldn't be a bad thing.

We all remember the outdoor pre-season game between the Kings and Rags in the parking lot of the MGM in Vegas... right?

What a surprise....rangers caps go scoreless for the first period for the fourth straight game. Just third time
In playoff history that has happened.
