Lazy penalty by Henrik.

[Cynosure]

BRAD BOYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaydee]

YAY!

[kujay]

YEEEEAHHHHH BOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!

[ZFan38]

That is a huge goal for STL.

[kujay]

Should be one hell of a 3rd period.

 

And it's only the first day of the playoffs, but I'm ready to stay up all night watching a 4OT game.

 

I can sleep in a little tomorrow...

[Cynosure]

So Oshie is in the box, why?

[kujay]

Pipes have been Mason's BFF tonight.

[Cynosure]

These refs are putrid.

[ZFan38]

This entire period has been played in the Blues zone.

[kujay]

Vancouver is laying back without even looking like it. They are playing great hockey right now.

 

And they are clearly the more talented team. This is still going to be a brutal series though.

[Cynosure]

REFS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kujay]

Good finish, great game. Luongo did what he does.

 

Oh man, on the replay Cola had a chance to bury it at the buzzer.

[NewUserName]

REFS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I think the officiating was poor in this game, but the better team clearly won.

Luongo won it, the Canucks didn't impress me... their fake power plays did, though.

 

Luongo shows why he is a superstar.

Outside of Luongo, there really isn't much of a difference between the two teams. It should be a long series.

its not like St Louis didnt get several fake PPs either, including the one they scored their goal on

 

Goaltending is part of the game..Vancouver owned the 3rd period when the refs finally let the teams play some hockey. I would contend that the refs probably kept St Louis in the game with all of the inane penalty calls. Also I dont think Vancouver is that impressive......St Louis is the worst team in the playoffs and I still contend that this will be a short series

uh i don't think you understand how cyno rolls, when the teams he's rooting against wins, it's because of the officiating.

 

let's also recognize that power play time was almost exactly equal and the blues had nearly 2 minutes of 5 on 3.

Not really saying that the PPs for either team were fake (although some were)... the fact that the refs were calling stupid penalties like it was the regular season prevented either team to just play real playoff hockey.

 

All of the games were good games last night, not disappointed.

[wolf stansson]

Not converting the 5-3 and Boyes whiffing on the open net at the last second was brutal.

[jaydee]

The Versus announcers tonight have a bizarre urge to praise Osgood and act as though he is the greatest goalie in NHL history. Really good game so far though.

[NewUserName]

so stuart and kronwall are doing what they do best...turning the puck over in their own zone creating great chances for the other team

[Magnetic Curses]

detroit is like the soviet national team of the nhl. they're just a machine.

[Cynosure]

Niedermayer scores for Anaheim.

 

1-0 Ducks.

San Jose is pulling a Cubs
