You have Mason in goal. You should have faith. This is exactly the kind of game Columbus can win, after man handling the Pens for 40 minutes.

This is the kind of game we always lose, though.

I wonder what Crosby's stats say for "number of shootout attempts trying the fivehole" are. :p

We were losing 3-0 and we still got a point. Hell yeah, we'll take it. Should have had it in OT, but the streak was bound to end sooner or later. Still...9-1-2 under Bylsma.

1 Point is better then 0

I am happy as hell we got a point out of this game. That point might mean our playoff lives at the end of the season...

Huricanes losing, Panthers lost, and Rangers in a close game. Great night for us in the standings.

Yup, gg Pens. You earned that point. If we didn't have Mason to save our ass we'd have been toast.
 
Well, I'm satisfied with one point. I assumed we were going to get nothing after how the jackets have been playing but luckily we picked it up in the third and tied it. I'm still surprised Letang got stopped it's been a while since I've seen anyone stop him, he's been a beast. Good game jackets.

great comeback by the pens to pick up a point, but Mason was crazy. Doesn't hurt as much knowing the extra point is going to a west conf team

I was hoping someone would update me on who won and lost. I'm just glad the rest of our games are at home. If we can keep the energy high, we will be in the playoffs.

The Detroit-Calgary game is ridiculous.
Maybe the most insane game I've seen this season.

there's no way the wings can have a realistic shot at repeating with this D and goaltending.

there's just no fucking way.
Yeah, it doesn't look all that good. Lilja is actually very missed on the D though.. he's been probably the best defensive d-man after Lidstrom this season.
The problem this game I didn't feel was so much the quality of the defense (which was decent up until the last 10mins), but the fact that it was all they were doing in the 3rd. They basically did nothing but try to protect the lead, and a team like the Flames are going to punish you for doing that whether or not you have the best defense and goaltending in the league. I think the Wings first shot on net in the 3rd was the 5-5 goal..
The only way they'll win the cup again is if they start living by the "offense is the best defense"-motto and stop backing off whenever they have the lead.

Don't you guys have the exact same team? Is Hossa off injuries yet?
Hossa is still injured. He's aiming to come back on saturday.
It's pretty much the same exact team, but something has happened with the defense. Might have to do with defensive coach McLellan going to the Sharks, and it definitely has to do with the goaltending being nowhere near last year's level, especially from Osgood.

Shit, I stopped watching like 5 minutes into the 3rd. :lol Had only been half watching it fully expecting the Flames to get their usual Detroit ass raping.

Let's see, New Jersey in Montreal on Saturday night. Brodeur is 1 win away from tying Patrick Roy's record for all time wins. What are the chances of NJ sitting Brodeur out in that game? :lol :lol

geez :lol I was just reading up on ball cancer too...

Don't! You'll really convince yourself you have it. I went to the doctor when I was a senior in high school over that shit. And he was all like "Uh, there's nothing wrong." And I was like "NEW LEASE ON LIFE!!!"

Great comeback by the Pens last night. Mason is a hell of a goalie. I hope columbus makes the playoffs, they are my western conference team.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Also doesn't help that Rafalski seems to be doing everything possible to give up the puck in the defensive zone. If he makes another blind pass across the crease again I'm going to scream.

Time to watch Price choke!

Carey Price stopped 36 shots, including a spectacular glove save on Jeff Tambellini's shot with 55 seconds remaining in regulation to help Montreal secure a point.

No You! :< 2nd Star, Bitches! :>

Pens lost too! Huh Huh! It's like Habs/Pens are fighting to stay where they are. No one wants to trade 4th or 5th Spot (Once again: Pens vs Capitals = Badass Playoff!)

WTF is going on with the Canucks vs Kings...

2-0 Canucks, then LA scores 2 goals in 23 seconds to tie it up. Henrik Sedin scores two seconds later to make it 3-2, then scores again on a dipsy-doodle a couple of seconds after that.

Four goals in two minutes and twenty four seconds. Scrimmage ahoy!

edit: how come nobody told me that Peter Pocklington got arrested on fraud charges? Glen Sather just posted his bail, one million dollars :lol :lol :lol
 
man, i got so pissed when LA scored those two goals, i've been wanting to post the luongo shutout picture for so long

he hasn't gotten one since he came back from injury :(
