Good lord.

3 minutes left on a PP to kill in overtime. Unreal that Drury gets a 4 minute high sticking call with a minute left after he had his face slashed open earlier and the refs missed it.

Dr. Sak · 05-04-2008, 03:44 PM

With 4 guys on the ice it really baffles me how a high stick that draws blood goes uncalled.

It was even crazier because the guy's stick got caught in between Drury's face and visor.

Dr. Sak · 05-04-2008, 03:58 PM

Too many passes on that shorthanded attempt

Logan · 05-04-2008, 04:09 PM

Fuckers.

MikeVic · 05-04-2008, 04:35 PM

I like this Pens team.

Here's hoping for them in the finals.

The "new NHL"? Would that be having a superstar who dives when anyone looks his way? I guess watching the Ovechkin dives was just a warm up for Crosby.

Fidatelo · 05-04-2008, 09:52 PM

It sucks that the Rangers lost, but I'm now looking forward to next year when I can have a favorite team to follow through the offseason and all throughout the year.

Lets go Rangers!

TazFTW · 05-04-2008, 10:53 PM

That was a huge hit by Morrow to end the 3rd period and Nabokov with a great save in OT.

Travis · 05-04-2008, 10:53 PM

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn

Helluva save

What a display of beauty by both goalies.

cartman · 05-04-2008, 11:21 PM

This has been one hell of an OT so far.

Vince · 05-04-2008, 11:23 PM

This is insanity.

bhlloy · 05-04-2008, 11:27 PM

Crazy OT period - Mike Ribero had better pray the Stars win this series, otherwise he might not be welcome back in Dallas again. Hard to get two better chances to end the series.

Vince · 05-05-2008, 12:09 AM

This has been a phenomenal game...triple OT, phew.

bhlloy · 05-05-2008, 12:30 AM

Ugh... controversial to say the least. I agree with the announcers on that one

TazFTW · 05-05-2008, 12:43 AM

Ribiero almost gave away the game.

bhlloy · 05-05-2008, 12:46 AM

Does Ribero have money on the Sharks winning the cup or something?

JetsIn06 · 05-05-2008, 12:51 AM

This game is rediculous. Is there a certain point that it will go to a shootout, or will they just keep going with OT's?

Keep going with 20 minute OTs until someone scores.

No. And we love it... hopefully it doesn't go past 1am, I might have to ditch on the game to get up for work in the morning

Pyser · 05-05-2008, 01:08 AM

this is just great to watch

not great hockey at this point, just sheer will

hopefully itll open up a tad in ot4 here.

Yea, I love it! I was hoping it would be that way.

Chief Rum · 05-05-2008, 01:17 AM

Wow, I want it to keep going and end at the same time. I have to go to bed. And I'm on the West Coast! I can only imagine what Stars fans in Texas are dealing with.

Galaxy · 05-05-2008, 01:23 AM

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...

Galaxy · 05-05-2008, 01:24 AM

GOAL!

TazFTW · 05-05-2008, 01:25 AM

Great series.

Pyser · 05-05-2008, 01:25 AM

hate to see it on a pp, but it was a penalty

the sharks were 1 goal away all night from winning this one in 7. damn.

JonInMiddleGA · 05-05-2008, 01:26 AM

61 saves, that's just sick.

Galaxy · 05-05-2008, 01:27 AM

I feel better that Soupy's penalty cost the Sharks the season.

bhlloy · 05-05-2008, 01:28 AM

Tough break for the Sharks. Pretty solid penalty call, but still a heartbreaking way to lose it.

Vince · 05-05-2008, 01:31 AM

I feel cheated. I just watched the greatest hockey game I've ever seen, and it had to end horribly. Not that it was a bad penalty call...but for it to end on a power play goal is just brutal.

kingfc22 · 05-05-2008, 02:05 AM

Damn. Nabby played one hell of a game and so did Turco for that matter.

Another under achieving season for the Sharks.

I wonder who will be our coach next season because no way it will be Ron Wilson.

thealmighty · 05-05-2008, 02:29 AM

If anyone missed it, the Sharks had their chance on the pp earlier in OT and couldn't score.

Great game (too bad the Stars never can beat Detroit).

Yup. Wilson has to be gone after this season. I've never minded Wilson all that much, and I don't know enough about hockey to critique him, but all the talent that's on this team should not be making a habit of second-round demises.

Oh so that's why Marty Lapointe was taking a bunch of stupid penalties in the Ottawa series - warm up.

Dr. Sak · 05-05-2008, 06:55 AM

You are not going to convince a Pens fan that Crosby dives just the same way that you won't convince a Flyer fan that Crosby doesn't dive. Just save yourselves the headache.

Suburban Rhythm · 05-05-2008, 07:37 AM

Just saw the schedule is out, Friday/Sunday start for Pens-Flyers. A little bit of a layoff there, I was guessing Thurs/Sat start, giving HNIC the Pens for Saturday night.

If Biron plays as he did last series, the Flyers can absolutely take this series.

Dr. Sak · 05-05-2008, 08:01 AM

Ironically enough, there was also another epic overtime game on May4th of 2000. I'll let Suburban fill ya'll in on the details.

Pumpy Tudors · 05-05-2008, 08:43 AM

Turco and Nabokov were amazing in the overtimes last night. I didn't start watching the game until right before San Jose tied it in the 3rd, but I didn't take my eyes off the game after that. I'm working on about 4 hours of sleep right now. I was really impressed with the San Jose defensemen. They did a really nice job of holding pucks in the offensive zone and making the Stars work around bad angles in the defensive zone. I don't know the West that well, but I was under the impression that most (if not all) of the San Jose defense is young, but they showed a lot of poise last night. At least they can be proud of that.

Do the Stars have anything left in the tank to hang with Detroit? Personally, I don't think so.
