And it's done. Just an awful game by Nashville. Maybe Vancouver recovered from their scare.

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs II: Welcome to Smashville
A game like that from the Preds (Rinne aside) should restore a bit of confidence.
I hate to sound like the kind of fan Bettman targeted in his bid to increase scoring six years ago, but 1-0 games like the one we just sat through are awful.

But, 2-1 games like the one on Tuesday are incredibly awesome.

I am still mad that hip check was called, and I really don't like the Canucks. Take away Ballard's skill at giving those out, and all you have left is his skill at clocking his own goaltender.

FWIW, I would never heckle an opposing fan just for wearing his team's jersey. That being said, I would never subject myself to that potential situation. Sounds stupid to say, but dumb on his part wearing the Gionta shirt to begin with. I completely agree that he doesn't deserve to be treated like that.
Finally, why did Gionta have to sign with the Habs?

In response to the Bruins Bad Decision vid:
* Boston fans. Yes, I know those in the video may be in the minority, but more often than not, I have been been in "hostile" territory for sports games. Never have had that happen, not one bit. And this is from a guy who wore a Vikings jersey in the middle of WI at a hick bar in a small town (Spencer, WI; google/wiki it
).
And to add to it (although the video MAY have not told the whole story), the guy did nothing to deserve that treatment. Now if he mouthed off, sure, payback is justified, and expected.
I know if I mouth off (which is probably going to happen) I expect a similar reaction. Same level of "personal insults" so to speak, but similar nonetheless.

I kinda like it when I get to see one or both goalies give "pitching gems" like that. Rinne has always been a fun goalie to watch. Very Kari Lehtonen-esque in either coughing up big rebounds for sport, or smothering the puck every time it gets near.

Wow, talk about a blast from the past....I'm listening to a Tampa Bay Lightning radio feed of tonight's game. Phil Esposito does color commentary for the Lightning radio crew.

He must be pretty happy. The Bolts definitely didn't pull a Nashville. They're in this thing.

Oh, come on. That's nothing.
The shoving after whistles in the BOS-MON series was worse than that.
