God, and I thought us Wings fans were supposed to be the whiners, tinfoil-hatters, and conspiracy theorists. :D

All I have to say.

Bow to the power of my reverse jinx.

Beagle
Callahan

Ovechkin wasn't suspended because the principle point of contact was the shoulder...

Excuse me if I laugh my *** off about that comparison. Less than a second before ovie's hit he was looking at the puck in his skate. Did he jump? Yes, but if you honestly think he planned to take him out then you're an idiot. He protected himself albeit in an illegal way. But I wouldn't expect you to have any rational thoughts about it.

I feel bad for the fans of other teams in the same league as your favorite college team. I can't imagine how they can put up with this whining for a full season.

I actually don't generally read the DI boards because the discussion can be pretty lowbrow. And I rarely complain about officiating but these playoffs have been screwy, and I'm hardly the only one who's been pointing that out, if you hadn't noticed. But I'll try to tone it down a little because if you complain about everything then you may as well not complain at all.

And how appropriate that Staal gets the goal there after making huge plays to break up a Caps 3-on-1 in the third?

A double minor taken in the 60th minute of play leads to a game tieing PPG with 6 seconds remaining in regulation time and then the game winning goal in overtime. It's the kind of finish that makes you think it might be the Rangers' year.

I wonder how many trolls will flame Ward tonight because they are jerkish trolls.

How haven't I noticed until now that Martin Hanzal is like super gigantic?

This game has been really freaking entertaining so far.

John Anderson does it again; yet again beating the <strike>Milwaukee Admirals</strike> Nashville Predators.

How about them' Yotes! Gotta be happy to see Shane Doan getting some playoff success after all he's been through with the franchise. Way to go Doaner!

It's great! I think now that my team's out I want them to win it all. Did you see Mike Smith miss getting an empty-netter by a foot? That would have been awesome.

Agreed - happy to see a guy who's stuck with his franchise for so long having success. And how about the irony of the old Jets finally having a deep playoff run in the first year of the new Jets' existence?

REDaero, RKarger, and lugnut were the only 3 posters (of 11) to pick the Coyotes to advance to the WCF (and they're all RPI fans; it's a conspiracy, I tells ya). REDaero uses that win to push herself from T-4 with me to 2nd place, sending Statistics! (the leader after the Conference Quarterfinals) down to 4th and passing pardonme (who will probably pass her right back if the Devils can close out the series sometime in the next 3 games).

Quick correction, pardonme was actually in 2nd after the Kings series sweep. There was an error in my spreadsheet. I caught it. No harm done.

Statistics! is hoping for the Flyers to extend the series to 6 games as he is the only person who picked the series to go 6. 7 posters picked the series to go 5 games, so they're all hoping that the Devils win it tonight.

UMBlackBear43 was not only one of two posters to pick the Caps over the Rangers, but he was also the only one to pick the series to go 7, so he's desperately cheering for a Washington win tomorrow.

The Conference Finals are each worth 30 points, so pick wisely next round.

The "Statistics!" entry is just whatever was most likely to occur when the round started based on what I've been posting all along. I was quite happy with it through the first round, but all of these "upsets" are ruining the numbers' dominance.
