NHL '12 Playoffs |OT| "The Cup is our destiny this year."

THIS SERIES. Make it a best of nine, please.

let's just make it whoever wins 16 games first gets the Cup, let them play all series.

This is great, this game has so many fast responses/close goals. Goals at the beginning/end of periods, goals right after other goals, just MORE GOALS.
 
This is when you need Biff Tannen to make an appearance and knock on one of the Penguins' D's head: HELLO MCFLY? HELLO? IS ANYONE HOME? HELLO MCFLY?
 
Playoff hockey giveth and playoff hockey taketh away =(

I'm not afraid of the Devils at all after that game though, those refs were fucking SHIT. We can score on them, we can beat them, this series is still fine.

It played out like the other games in the season. One thing I think the pundits won't pick up on is the in second period Dineen changed up the timing of line changes. The Devils were clowning us by pushing up on the line changed (among other things that the cats did badly in the 1st). Dineen let the lines push after dumping and that got the momentum changing. The damn penalties sucked the potential snowball. We nearly pulled back in the 2nd, but running penalties was an energy killer.

Next game I think not dumping and chasing to let Brodeur play the puck as much will help the flow of offense. Maybe running with a short chip in at the most. Panthers weren't ready tonight but I confident they can turn it around.
 
I didn't catch the whole game (just the 3 goals NJ scored), but at least the game ended close. Panthers better step it up in game 2.
 
I'm like 4 rows behind. I saw a glimpse of his bald head.

There's just no bad seats in Rogers Arena. ;) (right? From what I remember the view from the seats was great, despite being upper bowl) Plus, Canucks attacking zone twice, so hopefully a lot of goals.
