Joe Thornton in. You had a good run, Edmonton
I don't blame the refs it's a 50-50 call whether that was a "serious" injury or not imo. If they stop it I guarantee there'd be a shit storm from the other way.
Somebody bleeding profusely is serious of course but that's still a facial cut which on the whole isn't as serious as a broken limb or somebody getting knocked unconscious or something. And they gotta make this call in a split second with very little chance to reflect.

There's still no timetable for his return. We're not seeing him again this season.
Why would it be awkward? The other goalie just won us a cup. Even if Fleury wins the cup this year, there's still no logical reason why you would keep Fleury over Murray.

That Radulov was Goal insane
I still can't comprehend how...

That would be a smart move, yeah. So far he's showing he's worth it.
Hot damn, Thornton's channeling his inner viking with that glorious beard.
So, I've been of the mind that Columbus and Minnesota were the two teams that could give the Pens a run for their money in the playoffs. With both down 3-0...Alucard logic says the Pens are a near shoe-in to repeat this year if the Jackets and Wild get knocked out. Sorry to the other fan bases.

Boudreau wants to treat the next game like it's a game 7.
He's 1-7 in game 7s.

I was more worried about the Blackhawks than the Wild. We didn't play well against the blackhawks this year.
That isn't that unusual.
The 21 number sounds a lot better than it actually was. It was 14 shots with something like 7 or 8 minutes to go in the game.

Great first period! Glad to set Thornton back. Let's hope they keep their foot on the pedal in the second. Great atmosphere here. I love our light show too. Go Sharks!
I don't think that's true. No time table because it's the playoffs and they just don't want to say anything. Either way I think Pens can win with either goalie.
Did Fleury have a bad game tonight or were Columbus's goals good? I only got to listen to half the game on the radio.

So I'm at easter with the family and my cousin doesn't want me to let her four year old daughter watch hockey with me because she thinks it's too violent for her. I eventually convince her that it's not that violent, and five minutes later Werenski gets his involuntary facelift. "Mommy, what happened to that man's face?" as the blood flowed onto the ice.

A lot were us turning over the puck in our own zone so not much Fleury can do on that.
Fleury has been playing well so unless Murray is ready next game or Fleury plays horrendously, I can't see us putting in Murray for the sake of putting him in after we didn't do that last year with Fleury. It's Fleury's show until proven otherwise.
I don't see the reason in hiding his recovery, playoffs or not. There's no reason to not say day to day or whatever.
Well see about that...

Kassian having a pretty good series.
How will he be compared to the likes of Messier and Gretzky?

I've got to say, if the Ducks don't end up making it, my love of Maroon is going to make me an Edmonton stan.

Go oils arrrrrrrrooooooooo.
Canadian teams besides the flames have been doing well.The flames seriously need to step it up if they want a battle of alberta to happen.
The ducks will make it. I don't think the calgary flames will beat them at this point.

Their fans clap louder than our fans though. Our series home ice advantage is meaningless because of this.
Messier is the greatest Canuck of all time. Kassian is the 2nd greatest Canuck. Gretzky is 3rd. Steve Kariya is 4th. After that its a bunch of unimportant Finns and Irish guys.

It makes me sick, Quick.
Just bring out Goldberg and Fulton Reed and you guys will be alright.
It's all about location. I mean I'm not saying Edmonton isn't happening, but the guy went from Vancouver-Montreal to Edmonton. That's a big step down in terms of night scene. Even if he didn't try to change his old habits (which it seems he totally has), he'd have no choice. Plus the power of the chops.
Vancouver doesn't really have much of a night scene tho. Lol
