This game turned to suck quickly.

Make sure you bring a hat if you are going to the Caps-Hawks game next Sunday. Go ahead and write the number 8 on it if you want to.

I still can't believe they decided to play it safe at the deadline and not look for a goaltender. Everyone knows this is supposedly our best chance at a title most likely, why did they play it safe when it was blatantly obvious that goaltending was a gigantic issue for this team. It would be one thing if they tried and the price was too steep, but from Bowman's remarks, it seems like it wasn't really something they strongly considered. Typical Chicago team.

Got one back early to make up for the one we let up late. 5-3

A hatty to tie it would rock the place.

[Magnetic Curses]

if we play detroit in the first round it's going to be a disappointing year, despite the regular season success.

[Magnetic Curses]

why didn't kane shoot it?

I don't know about Kane giving away a clear path to the goal in order to pass through traffic to Hossa. Sure Howard was in position but he turned a good attempt into no SOG and get rid of any person to capitalize on any rebounds.

they would have had to give up too much. story of my teams, a day late and a dollar short. only my teams, though.

[Magnetic Curses]

detroit sticks are [expletive] everywhere.

The quotes I read said something to the effect of Bowman laughing when being asked if they came close to trading for a goalie. But fair enough. At least they tried. Sucks though. I probably had been willing to give up Sharp and/or Versteeg to get a goalie. That's how bad our goaltending situation is.

So while Scotty Bowman was going on Toronto radio saying there was “no chance” Vokoun was coming, Stan was still trying. Maybe it wasn’t exactly at the same time. I think it’s safe to assume, Stan made the call to Florida GM Randy Sexton, to no avail, before Scotty went on to exterminate the rumor.

[UMFan83]

What is Kane doing? React

[Roast]

Damnit Kane, just shoot.

[Magnetic Curses]

for the one millionth time in history, i have two or more teams lose on the same day. that goal does nothing to deny it.

[Roast]

Like that.

[UMFan83]

HAT TRICK!!! Not for the tie though. Will at least help make the last 8 minutes interesting.

[bcl412]

Let's tie this [expletive] up.
