At least you guys don't have goddamn Michael Ryder making series saving saves in Game 7 this time.

And that's with stacking 4 of the O6 in 1 division
I think it ends just like last nights games 2-1. Whichever goalie plays better will win.
You'd be a perfect candidate for suicide hotline work.
I love Boomer, but that sports radio show has illuminated his stupidity.
Honestly, I was going to say something about Torts' impact on the team too. Last night was clearly a Torts-style win. I don't know if it's muscle memory or what, but they've shown a few times now that they can still successfully play that way when they need to.
That said, we never get to that game if Tortorella is still the coach. He would have blown up on the team, Kreider would have been benched for penalties, Nash probably would have been scratched around game 4 or 5, and the whole 4th line would have averaged around 3-4 minutes a night. And that's not even considering the media circus that would have come after Game 4.
And the power play would have been even worse.
Speaking of, how boggling is it that the series came down to the Rangers' power play being SUPERIOR to the Penguins? 3-of-25 vs. 1-of-20. And the series winner was a PPG. Hockey is truly a strange game.

What? You mean the Yankees, Mets or Nets aren't on the front page?
Sure. That is different than saying they won because of him.
Also, I'm taking Fox's quote for what it's worth. I would need to hear more of the context, but Boomer has been delving into that radio jock mentality, and for better or worse it's working for him.

And so begins the first day where I'll be working during a Ducks playoff game.
For fucks sake.

Can't wait to see him and Connor Brown play together. Keep the roster intact, Shanny!
He was always in love with Torts but the Rangers would have never made it past the Flyers with Torts as coach.
Dammit captain! We can't do it without you!
I'm thinking the same thing tonight about Claude.

Oh shit, I thought only Kariya, Neeley, Chelios and Modano made appearances. Had no idea about Luc.
Also I had no idea that there was a Ducks-themed building at the Disney World Resort. When I stayed there we were in a music themed one. Which is just as dope.
I got a copy of Gargoyles and Batman: The Animated Series back in 2010 and still ocassionally stick an episode of each one. Gargoyles definitely holds up.
I missed it originally, but, welcome to the bandwagon!

I really really fucking hope that we can close out this series tonight. If it comes back home for game 7 that would really suck, since I will be at that game. It is way too much of a gamble. There is no better place to be than the Pond during a win against the Kings. At the same time, there is no worse place in the world to be than the Pond during a loss to the Kings.
I can't imagine the alternate heaven or hell on earth that it will be in a game 7 situation.

Well, I'm still hoping for a Ducks win to switch up the WCF from last year, and I'm thankful the Rangers won to spice up the ECF. To almost have the exact same Conference final matchups as last year is a complete bore. Yes we all praise the NHL for having some sense of parity, but not exactly showcasing that when the same 4 teams almost make it back there. And it's still entirely possible for a Bruins/Kings final, which I would hate.
Excited for Game 7 tonight, this work day feels like a crawl.
Give me a call tonight if Rask lets in a softy in OT.
That's a guarantee from him.
I look forward to our topics.
- don't do it
- you have so much to live for
- think of your family
- Habs are still in it
Yep! Tonight the game is at 7ET right?

Please heavenly being, please make sure Calamari doesn't get glassed in the parking lot or drenched in beer or sued for other people being idiots.
I hope we close it out tonight too. I don't want that gamble and Chicago will also have more rest if we can't win tonight. They better not come out flat like game 6 against Dallas. I can't see a miraculous comeback like that happening against quick.

I can hear Tabris formulating his prediction that I will make it home without needing major reconstructive surgery.
WTF, go away NBC.

At least it's not ESPN, then we'd have all-day retrospectives on the history of the Yankees/Sox rivalry.
Haha, that's good. Got plans Saturday night.
Solo I would personally never realize the O6 stuff unless you were bringing it to our attention.
Bahaha when the fuck did this happen
Thanks Soc, that's what I'm here for!
lololololol
I'm at a bachelor party that day and Ill already be drunk by 1. If its Bruins/Rags, 0 fucks will be given and I'll skip it. If it's Habs/Rags, I'll have to try to sneak away and sober up a bit and watch it.

You could be that douchebag in all the commercials watching sports games in places from your phone where it isn't practical or considered human.
Probably be nose deep in some nasty stripper's box. And watching the game at the same time. Oh yeah.
