The crowd was amazing all game, and the "you got Kronwalled" chant was hilarious.
Cool note about our OT winner: all 5 guys on the ice were playoff rookies, 4 of them actual rookies. Nyquist-Andersson-Brunner-Lashoff-Kindl.
No offense to 3 good players, but weakest Norris top 3 in..ever?

As long as Suter wins I won't really mind.
He's just keeping the seat warm for Karlsson anyway.

The Leafs will help him skate faster.

So who do you guys think wins the Calder and Norris?
That would push my balance off and probably wouldn't do much.
Calder: Hoober
Norris: Suter
Probably, no more Lidstrom, Chara getting older, Weber not such a hot year, Karlsson injured.
My heart says Subban, brain says Suter.

Will there ever be an award that is for defensemen who don't put up a lot of points?
Preds should have taken 4 first rounders and let Weber sign with the Flyers.
Defensive defense man and offensive defense man.
There should be imo.

Still confounded by this one. NHL sinks to a new low every year with this BS.

You'd need some sort of stat to conveniently rank them for journalists and plus/minus is a garbage stat so ....
+/- is probably the best indication for defensemen and only for defensemen.
+/- isn't even a real stat.

Apparently Tim Peel will be one of the referees tonight ?
It's going to be another gong show of a game if true.

Deary me, ducks. Inconsistencies have been our problem all year. We had a chance to bury the series last night and couldn't get it done.
Absolutely horrible defending throughout. The datsyuk goal was nice but it was bad defending by sbiza. Why give him the outside lane when there were two guys covering the inside. Horrible choice. And to allow 50 shots is just poor. Lydman absence was noticeable.
And to top the night off with a queens win just made everything worse.
Bring on Wednesday.

I don't know how they can top Sunday.
Hopefully Therrien can't manage rally the troops like he did last time.
Any word on who is starting as our 6th Dman?
Eh, I'm not convinced he's even the worst Rangers FA signings in the last 10 years or so. He was really clutch last season, though he did start to face over the course of the playoffs. He was absolutely miserable this season, though, except for the last two weeks of the season where he suddenly got a ridiculous streak of puck luck. He honestly looks better right now than he has in just about a full calendar year. Beat Holtby on a shot that rang off the post last night, too.
But yeah, his contract is utterly absurd. He even played on the 4th line for at least one shift last night because of the game Boyle and Brassard were having.

Phantom penalty calls, goals waved off etc.
Gryba is back tonight. So you can bet on some more fireworks.

Eh, he has a lot of playoff games under his belt from his time in Philly. Also got to the playoffs 3 times with the Islanders and twice with Pittsburgh. Dude's got 65 games under his belt.

I was just telling a friend last night how much I miss Asham.... best mediocre player ever.
It was mentioned briefly yesterday, and I made a post about it ages ago, but heres a new patch for NHL 94 (genesis) those should interest plenty of folks. Full update for 2013 playoffs and a few other fixes and things. Still not as full featured as I wish a "new retro" official release could be, but it's still great fun.
Link is here to the original site NHL 94-13 Playoff Edition
Instructions and whatnot are in the downloaded patch file, but If you need any help, feel free to pm me to make it a bit easier.

You don't want to give Datsyuk the inside lane... besides, Pavel fooled him on the zone entry, made a quick inside-outside move. Overall I thought Anaheim did an amazing job defensively, Detroit got mostly perimeter shots. I expect Anaheim to bring more offensive pressure in Game 5 though. I hope the series goes 7 games, something about Ducks-Wings just makes for great playoff series.
I fucking love it

No Gionta?
I'm genuinely worried now.

do you really?
whos replacing them?
No word yet, but I imagine Dumont and Halpern.
2 really good faceoff men who are good defensively. Yep, Habs actually want to win tonight.
Honestly, those two are probably more effective than Gio right now.
