Pat Burns must have wanted to absolutely strangle him after that...or break out the old riot gear and beat him within an inch of his life...

Wait, $7-8mil required shooting the puck? I thought the only requirement to earn that type of money was to pass the puck around and showboat with the puck on your stick.

Who would of thought it would take the second half of the season and 3 games into the playoffs to figure out that screening a goalie and having your "stars" shoot the puck is a good thing.

I hope Mcclellan has these guys practice something more than looking up at the clock, waiting for time to expire and entering and exiting the penalty box and bench area. I think practicing things like passing, shooting, skating goaltending and defense would be more beneficial. Watching pro hockey players lose their edge often, fumble the puck around, and miss shots wide and shoot into the goalies midsection sucks.

Can't wait till game 5 tonight. Think the Penguins pull one tonight. Not sure if we will see another 10+ goals scored by the Pens though.

Who (if anyone) comes back from 3-1 down to force a game 7?

Sharks? Pretty please?

I'll say the Canucks (now watch them lose Game 5, which for some reason isn't until Sunday). I think Schneider now basically being given the starting job and Daniel Sedin returning will give them a spark.

The break between Games 4 and 5 is ridiculous.

Why you no play defense Detroit?

From what I've seen Quincey and Stuart are not very good.
