sharks game is about to start

 

should be pretty heated after hartnell kneed cheechoo in the last game

[Drew Doughty]

Great, great start to Nashville/San Jose, though the wrong team is on top as far as I'm concerned.

 

Vancouver/Dallas is starting in 10 minutes or so.

[Drew Doughty]

SJ/Nashville is still very, very chippy. 4-1 Nashville though. San Jose has to fix that.

 

Vancouver/Dallas was a little slow in the first, but it's in glorious high definition, so I'm not complaining...

 

Anaheim/Minnesota starts in 40 minutes or so.

Canucks playing like crap right now, this is a joke.

Looks like Dallas is really playing a tough game. I think Vancouver will make a charge to tie it, though.

3 scraps broke out at the end of the sharks/preds game, rest of the series should have quite a bit of intensity.

 

ducks/wild is underway.

 

back to the tv!

[Post Count Padder]

Why can't I get the Ducks game on tv? :cry:

[Drew Doughty]

Ducks score twice late in the period to make it 3-1 going into the third...

 

Getzlaf is so good.

[Post Count Padder]

Go Ducks. Oh man I'd love to see a Devils-Ducks finals again. My 2 favorite teams head to head, I can't lose.

back to the tv!

 

Sharks blew their chance when they were down 2-1 and had a six minute power play that included 1 minute of 5 on 3 play. They gave up a shorthanded goal and then a couple minutes later Nashville had a 5 on 3 and capitalized on it to make the score 4-1.

I really wish I could see some of these games...

at least a game a day has been streaming live on the internet so far. what kind of connection do you have?

 

Ducks hold on to win 3-2 and take a 2-0 series lead.

Ducks win!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Ducks win!

 

Are they still the Anaheim Ducks or are they the Los Angeles Orange County California United States Anaheim Super Duper Fun Time Ducks like the baseball team?

Ha, still just the Anaheim Ducks.

After Tuesday the series will be 2-2. I was very disappointed with the WILD's play in Anaheim.

i'm wondering if the ducks are going to go back to giguere or not. I got a chance to watch a lot of their games this year, and they always looked better with bryzgalov than giguere.

 

giguere would make rolston's slapshot better with his fat rebounds that he gives up, too.

[Drew Doughty]

Rangers/Thrashers has been a surprisingly fun series to watch so far.

 

Avery scored a fluky goal to make it 1-0 Rangers.

 

Pens/Sens is in its first intermission as well, Whitney scored for the Penguins, it's 1-0 there.

 

Lightning/Devils and Sabres/Islanders later today.

[Drew Doughty]

The ATL/NYR series is seriously intense. Still 1-0 on the fluky Avery goal. Go Rangers!

 

Ottawa scored twice and pretty much throttled the Penguins when they weren't scoring. Alfreddson and Spezza with the goals. 2-1 Senators.

[Post Count Padder]

I hate the NY Rangers.

[Drew Doughty]

HOLY CRAP what a great finish to both games.

 

Avery with a goal and an assist, Shanny with the game-winner, Lundqvist stood on his head, and of course tons of intensity on both sides. Kovalchuk scored his first playoff goal of his career and hammered Avery late in the game to really set the series off. Rangers lead 2-0, though.

 

Penguins played a great third period and hung on late on a great, great save by Fleury to keep the Sens at bay. That series is tied at 1 going back to Pittsburgh.

Anze, I take it you have Center Ice with all of your comments on all the different series. It's to bad their is such a limited amount of hockey that is televised.

actually, i have the free preview of MLB Extra Innings, and the channels for MLBEI and NHLCI run together, so I'm just taking advantage of that until tomorrow.

 

Lightning/Devils is streaming live on Yahoo in 20 minutes.

[Post Count Padder]

I miss being able to watch Devils games and good hockey games. All we get out here are crappy Penguins games. :(

[Sosa21MVP]

I thought the Sens-Pens game today was pretty entertaining.
