Did St. Louis take the night off? I did hear that they were lucky to win Game 1 too.

San Jose has been pretty consistent in these playoffs. Of their 5 losses so far, 3 were in overtime, and 1 was by one goal. They're also 5-1 at home, outscoring their opponents 22-9.

St. Louis is 5-2 on the road, however. Game 3 should be fun.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Having less goals than the other team isn't considered winning where I come from.

Yeah well they're gonna score all the goals

I saw your post before you edited it. Can't believe that kind of racism coming from a guy like you. Sad!

This is the first time the Sharks have ever won one of the first two games in the conference finals. They went down 0-2 all three previous times.

Basically, optimism in the second half of May is a new experience for us Sharks fans.

I still don't know what optimism is.

They're a different team this year, y'know?

I've heard, and said, that a lot over the years.

My apologies, I've been away from hockey since BOS/VAN.

 

[Clydefrog]

I think some of the Sharks players should be tested for beard growth hormones.

 

[Line_HTX]

Backes should rip it off of Thornton IMO.

I think it's that weird sensation where I am actually looking forward to tomorrow's game.

When did Boston ever play Vancover? I dont recall any series like that

Amen.

LOL

Its that feeling you have in that split second when you get excited about a hockey playoff game but before you remember you're a sharks fan.

Hopefully they decide to make actually make calls in the Pittsburgh/Tampa game... it's beyond dumb to say "I'm not going to call anything because I don't want to influence anything" and then turn around and watch the team committing the penalty benefit from it.

This stone age thinking of "let's not call anything late in the game" can't die fast enough.

Rutherford nominated for GM of the year

RIP cube

I know the award doesn't really mean anything

Been like this forever, and it's not going to change. Unfortunately.

Penguins vs. Lightning, Game 3.

The battle of the 21-year-old goalies continues.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Callahan back in, Koekkoek out.

Have a bad feeling about Vasi tonight. He's played well but it's going to catch up to him at some point.

Bro, this is "playoff hockey". Real men don't call penalties, do you want sissies in your game?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Drouin needs to just shoot it

 

[a916]

Tampa really likes to pass the puck in it's own zone... when it works it's amazing way to get out with the puck, when it doesn't, offensive chance.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Dirty pass by Crosby, Horny just couldn't get anything on it.

 

[Futureman]

Great game so far. Both teams have had some quality chances.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

How did none of those go in!?!?!?!

And :lol at Johnson's meltdown. Please take a stupid penalty.

 

[ZeroGravity]

So much for that good start.

 

[megachao24]

Hornqvist nicked Callahan, sits in the box.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

These refs all playoffs have been fucking shit. It really kills the enjoyment of the games with shit like this.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

lol

 

[a916]

Tampa is going to drop pass that puck right into their own net... what an awful PP that was

 

[Hippopuncher12]

That's how you kill a penalty.

 

[Futureman]

uneventful first... I'd give the slight edge to Penguins for overall better puck control, chances and nasty-ass PK.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

That was less penguins being good and more lightning being bad

 

[Alucard]

Missed the first. Doesn't sound like I missed much. Let's go Pens.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Lightning don't have any answer for the Crosby line.

 

[megachao24]

Ryan Callahan held on to someone?

 

[a916]

Lightning need to stop over passing the puck, jesus... get the puck to the net. Murray is fighting the puck.

 

[zroid]

OMG that was insanity :lol

 

[a916]

Murray looks shaky as hell, if Tampa could actually start generating stuff... Penguins are all over them in both zones.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Well...at least this game is exciting!

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Murray is a fucker

 

[a916]

Tampa is going to lose on self inflected wounds if this keeps up. Penguins are generating a lot of chances, but most of them off the backs of Tampa turnovers in their own zone

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Fuck you post

 

[RedRum]

Looks like I didn't miss anything important.

 

[a916]

Tampa can't pass the puck to save their life in the o-zone, while Pittsburgh can't miss a pass. Vasilevsky keeping Tampa in while Murray trying not to screw it up.

Could go either way. Murray seems to be battling, but thankfully, the post has helped him, and the Pens' D has been pretty decent at keeping things to the outside.

This seems accurate.
