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

so many OTs, its great
There were 14 OTs in the first round of the playoffs last season... including three that went at least 5 periods.

We're up to 6 already and we still have a couple Game 2s on deck.
After the first two games in each series last year, we'd only ventured into OT twice. Well ahead of last year's pace already.
 
Love playoffs

Guy charges

3 players start beating the crap out of guy who charged

Only the guy who charged in box

Yep.

And the Blues commentators are saying he left his feet. They've said it so many times. He did leave his feet... after hitting McDonald. The hitting player often bounces up.

Really can't believe there wasn't a roughing minor or two on the Blues.

I don't watch enough hockey to know, but is a premeditated shoulder-tackle to the face really fair game?

If so, awesome! I love concussions!

I think the complaint isn't that the initial hit was a penalty, everyone agrees it was. The problem is that there was MASSIVE retaliation from the Blues, none of which got penalized.

"Premeditated shoulder" ...?

Anyway, I didn't say it wasn't charging. It was Galiardi's responsibility to recognize that McDonald was having a derp moment with his down between his feet and back out of the check.
 
Whoaaaa just saw the replay of Burns suckerpunching a Blues player in the back of the head. Well, elbow-punching. Dirty hit, only 2 minutes? ouch.
 
There better be a penalty there.

If we're talking about the same hit, Burns barely touched him. Not smart by any means but Nichol is tiny and slipped it for the most part.
 
Bickell!!
