He wasn't trying to spear him in the nuts, he was aiming for his chest, but Chara's so tall (same excuse they use, every time Chara hits someone in the head).

He was basically invisible, people blamed a lot of it on double and "triple teams", but other reports were he was playing not to get hurt and for the most looked like he gave no effort and his stats showed. The double and triple team is a lame excuse, If he is good in the NFL, are they not going to double team him ? Look at Mack stats, he had his best season and you can bet that he was doubled and "tripled teamed." I put tripled teamed in quotes, because when I here someone saying they were tripled teamed, it sound like a lame ass excuse. Clowney has the makings of a diva and he going to find out in the NFL that you have to play hard all the time, not just when it suits you. I would take Mack over Clowney any day.

I'm with you, this would be a stupid move IMO, after what Clowney pulled last year, I would not pay the price of moving up to #1 to get him. I was high on Watkins, but I'm starting to think that Evans would be a better fit for what the Bills need. Ebron I'm not sold on at all. As far as the linemen, Robinson, Matthews and Lewan, one of them will fall to us at #9, if not there is always Martin, if the Bills do want to go for a lineman. If they really think they can benifit by moving up, work out something with the Raiders, it will be a lot cheaper. Bottom line for me, is I do not want Clowney, I hate when players take a few plays off, this clown took a whole year off. If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.

I don't think he did do it intentionally, getting the puck around the boards and out of the zone (which he did attempt), is a lot better than having a faceoff in your own zone. Subban's been very good in these playoffs, but he's been on fire in this series.

What a beautiful pass by Vanek.

Is there anyone in the Sabres organization that can play the point ?

Deja vu, Vanek scores 2 and then the Sabres Canadiens blow a 2 goal lead. I began to think changing my avatar brought good luck, not Sabres luck.

Go Habs ! I can honestly say I don't think I would ever hear myself saying that. Hell I'm even rooting for Subban.

Fixed it. Drafting Manziel would be a mistake, moving up to draft him would be a humongous mistake. Since they may have a new owner in a year or two, they are not going to mortgage the draft picks from those years to move up this year, especially where there's no guaranteed star worth trading up to #1 for.

Too bad the camera work for the game isn't the same quality as the freakin 10 minute video of the Wolves to start the telecast. What kind of camera view was that on the Amerks 2nd goal, an orbiting satellite view ? Needed binoculars to see it on the TV.

Larry Johnson is someone that is know to a lot of the public, do you think that if any former well known player from the NHL was to say that the NHL should be an all white league, there wouldn't be an outrage and some kind of action taken against him ? Anyone that believes that there is no double standard is fooling themselves.

I would bet that the girlfriend tried to extort money from Sterling first, saying that she would make the tape public if he didn't pay her and the old man thinking he did nothing wrong, told her to go ahead. I am really sick of hearing about this already, with hockey playoffs and basketball playoffs going on and the NFL draft just over a week away, all I keep hearing on sports is this drama about an 80 year old man saying something considered to be racist. Is what he said racist and is he a racist ? Sure seems like it, but I really don't care enough to make it a major issue all week long, get done with it already. There are serious racism issues (against all races) happening every day, but they don't have the making of a weekly reality show to garner as much attention as this has, so we don't hear about them.

Never mind, I just watched it over, I thought that Sharp picked up the puck after the shot block. Time for glasses.

Maybe I missed something, but how does Kane get an assist on that goal, wasn't it Sharp that blocked the shot and went in alone ?

That's the expedited plan. Please Red Wings, take out some Bruins.

How the hell do they allow Cyranose to grab people far away from the play ? he lost his stick, went to the point and just grabbed the guy and held him, while the puck was in deep.

If it wasn't for 5 or 6 player on the team and the fact they are from Boston, I might like the Bruins. Bertuzzi did a nice job in front of the net on Detroit's goal. It seems like he's been in the league forever.

Lucic's lucky that Shanahan isn't in charge any more, he would of thrown the book at him. :w00t: Obvious sarcasm.

A big part of Boston's game seems to be to hit and intimidate, I love physical hockey, but the ###### the Bruins get away with is crazy and the league does nothing about it. To think that a player like Lucic has only been suspended once (as far as I know), or Chara has never been suspended, is ridiculous. Chara could of killed Pacoretty and nothing was done. This garbage is allowed, while you have a player like John Scott, getting tossed for stepping on the ice ans Scott is far from being a dirty player. I don't know how the NHL survives with Bettman in control. Datsyuk's goal may have been the first time I jumped up in celebration for a goal this season. I rarely root for other teams, but Go Wings (at least to you beat Boston).

I agree, it's time Timmay was retired. The best replacement IMO would be the Finnish Flop.

Hodgson got ripped (at least by me) because he is a young and talented player that floated for two months. Having poor linemates has nothing to do with skating hard and giving some kind of effort.

Maybe if we offer Florida Ville Leino, they'll swap picks with us.

Wow, what a surprise ! <_<

Six times in the 19 NHL lottery's has the team that finished with the worst record been awarded the 1st pick. Being the worst obviously is no guarantee.
