sam rosen keeps blabbing about how many shots washington have, but how many are good chances? most are from the outside and unscreened.

 

yeah, i think halak has worn them out. seemsl ike theyre pressing now

 

the crowd is terrified right now. you can feel it. up until a few minutes ago, they were loud and into it.

[Magnetic Curses]

wow, this is getting cub-like

3 montreal sticks on every puck in the zone.

 

plus the capital players keep skating the puck in and then they look shocked then they're surrounded by four habs. their entire team is back in their zone; how about a hard around the boards or a soft dump into the corner? they keep trying to do the same thing and it's not working. maybe it's not their style to dump and chase or muck and grind, but that's what they're going to have to do.

isn't this what the russians tried to do against the canadians in the olympics?

[TruffleShuffle]

lol on that last rush the capital player (74) just let go of his stick and the montreal d-man was just standing there holding it for a split second. way to pay attention ref.

[Magnetic Curses]

6 minutes and counting.

If Montreal were to hang on, this is simply a stunning upset. I know President's Trophy winners have been ousted in the first round before but how many of them blew 3-1 series leads?

[UMFan83]

Wow that was crazy close to being 2-0 there.

[TruffleShuffle]

yes and it failed miserably. the russians kept trying to stickhandle through canadian players who are way too talented to be beat that way; all the turnovers kept turning into odd man rushes and goals.

 

i almost feel like montreal has had the better chances this period. they haven't had many but they've been good ones, like that post there.

[UMFan83]

Wow. Montreal to the 2nd round.

According to the graphic on Versus just now, none of them have ever done it before. No No. 1 seed has.

[UMFan83]

Assuming they hold on....the 4 seeded Penguins have home ice advantage until the Cup Finals. Also, the Blackhawks would now have home ice in a Stanley Cup finals. Amazing that the 4,6,7,8 all advanced to the 2nd round. Penguins have to be liking their chances to get to their 3rd straight Finals.

[Magnetic Curses]

[TruffleShuffle]

oh man 6-on-4, this is gonna be nuts

[17 Seconds]

terrible, terrible penalty

[UMFan83]

Wow where was this energy all game.

[Magnetic Curses]

i'd love to see some ot. neither team has a shot at beating anyone from the west, so why not?

[Magnetic Curses]

they are going to score here

highly disagree with pulling the goalie so early when you have a pp and they can fire away Edited April 29, 2010 by 17 Seconds
