I hadn't really noticed. Of course if it's not the Sharks playing, I'm probably on the computer, and just have the game on for background noise. Hard to notice bad officials without watching.

Jay McKee's been in the box three times in the first period (one going into the second).

Interesting game.... 2-1 Sabres after two.
I haven't seen most of the game, but it looks like Miller is solidly outplaying Emery. The Sens keep making braindead giveaways... maybe Jacques Martin wasn't such a dummy after all. The game is going to come down to an Ottawa full-court press in the third to try to tie it. That means plenty of chance on both sides. Emery is going to need to make "the save" to keep them alive, and he sure hasn't made it yet this series. I think he makes it tonight, and the Sens win 4-2. (I reserve the right to edit this post in about an hour.)

Man...seeing Connolly go down like that makes me sick to my stomach.
Poor kid...turning into a star during the playoffs and now may have to get through another concussion after missing almost two years with a previous concussion.

Complete domination by Ottawa in every facet of the game except the two most important - goaltending and the scoreboard.
Even for the most optimistic Sabres fan (me), taking two in Ottawa is off the charts amazing.

Dear Devils:
We can't lose to a hockey team in Carolina. We need to win another Cup before Brodeur gets too old to be our 'keeper anymore. Thanks, Ron

I nearly hurt myself celebrating Gomez's goal (it was credited to Gomez, right?), and then I regretted it after Carolina tied it up. I don't know if my heart can handle overtime. It's been a while since I saw the Devils in an overtime playoff game. I don't remember how to deal with this.

if you cant hold a lead for 20 lousy seconds, you cant win the cup.
we need a scott stevens hit early in game 3 to turn this series around. |

I'm not blaming the Devils' loss on Ken Klee, but can we send him back to Toronto? With the exception of a goal in the Rangers series, I haven't seen him do anything noteworthy at all.

Funny, I had the exact opposite reactions on both goals. Imagine that. Even so, we got lucky. It's what we've been scoring with this series. All kinds of crazy pinballing shots have gone in so far. Probably the reason why we keep shooting as much as we do. I'll be pleased as punch if we can scrape one out of two in Jersey. Game three will definitely tell the story. If the Devils bounce back, the series could go the distance. If they don't, it may be over in 4 or 5. |

Wow -- watching the Sharks kill a 5-on-3 when two of their guys had broken sticks was absurd. The Tank must have been rocking like no other.
Great job to win the two opening games, now lets pull out game three and really put the pressure on.

That was a pretty astounding sequence there. I was going nuts and I don't really care about either team. The Buffalo/Ottawa series is a treat to watch. So much skill and speed out there. Miller's save on the Spezza "breakaway" was fantastic. I worry about the Devils. They are coming home, but it will be tough to come back after a loss like that.

Slightly off-topic in that it isn't game-related, but I was reading Kukla's blog yesterday and came across a blurb from Stan Fischler:
Quote:
Now, Fischler has had me scratching my head plenty in recent years (advancing senility?), but this struck me as absolutely asinine. The Chelios part I can understand, sure, but does anyone really think it's conceiveable that Yzerman could "wear out his welcome" in Detroit? |

No. As Vizzini would say it's "Inconceiveable!" There have been a few articles in the local papers that have sort of danced around this issue without ever coming out and saying. They have put it in terms of the young players not being able to take a more active leadership role while in the shadow of Yzerman. It's not like he's actively keeping them down, but more like no one will sort of "step up" and try to take the reins while Yzerman is around. No one locally has called for his retirement, they aren't that stupid and know the situation a little better than Fischler. Yzerman was one of the Wings' best forwards in the playoffs and the last month or so of the regular season. So long as his body holds up, he's still got enough to make a decent contribution to the team. This really isn't an issue at all of Yzerman trying to "squeeze an extra year - as well as millions - out of the Wings." (Note: Yzerman's salary this year was only $1.25 million. I don't think that counts as "millions".) So long as Yzerman wants to play, he will be welcome in Detroit. Once he doesn't think he can really contribute to the team either because he's just lost a step or can't do it physically anymore, he'll bow out. I am pretty confident in that. Fischler can blow me. As for Chelios, given how much he played this year and at a consistently high level, at $850,000, he was worth it. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wings didn't re-sign him, but he wasn't a liability on the ice and is one of the few Wings' players to actually play with an edge. Since we're talking about Yzerman: Happy 41st Birthday, Stevie Y!

"Three months after breaking his right ankle, Avalanche defenceman Ossi Vaananen took part in his second full-contact practice Monday and the 25 year-old physical blueliner is hoping to soon be cleared to join the Avalanche for its Western Conference semifinal series against Anaheim." worst. news. ever.

well, I'm not that familiar with Berg. Is Berg supposed to be physical, which manifests itself only in lazy penalties behind the net? Will Berg refuse to even take a swipe at an opponent harrassing his goalie after the whistle? Does Berg have "great speed", and yet often can't catch up to forwards on breakaways? Does Berg have severe difficulty handling the puck when pinching in? Does Berg make terrible, sloppy passes in his own zone? Does he inexplicably get paired with Patrice Brisebois to double the "oh shit" factor? Can he not shoot, pass, skate, body check, or pretty much anything that would make him a useful NHL player? And, best of all, did you trade Derek Morris and Keith Ballard to get him? if so, then yes, he is the Aki Berg of Colorado.

Another thing from last night. Prior to the overtime starting, OLN showed Brodeur's playoff OT record: 8-18. After the game last night he's a whopping 8-19 in playoff OTs. How is that? Brodeur is one of the best goalies of all time. Why is his OT record so bad? Very strange.

Just what the NHL needs, Carolina to win the Cup when the previous winner was Tampa Bay.
Sheesh. Let's go Devils.

great game in Colorado tonight - going to OT.
Theodore has made some amazing stops and Lupul has a hat trick for the Ducks. Patrice Brisebois made a great defensive play (really!). Pierre Turgeon looks really, really old and Alex Tanguay looks completely disinterested.
