Bmwolf21 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Back-to-back Game 1's tonight, as it should have been Thursday - nice scheduling, NHL. Thanks for making me flip back and forth to try to watch two games at once <_<. New York at Pittsburgh, Game 1; 7 p.m. ET, Versus - Preview Dallas at San Jose, Game 1; 10 pm. ET, Versus - Preview NHL Scoreboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodfella25 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I think the obvious intrigue lies with the Pens-Rangers series. I hate Avery, but I admit he makes it entertaining so I guess he wins. The Penguins claim that they aren't going to let him get away with bothering the goaltender like the Devils did. We'll see. He does have Laraque to answer to if he wants to push his luck. I'm really not the least bit interested in the other series. I STILL can't stand Dallas...is that a sign of not being able to move on from the past, or proof that I am a die-hard fan? It's a fine line, isn't it?

Claude Balls Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 It will be very interesting to see how Avery controls himself knowing Laraque is right there to pound him into oblivion. He may not bother Fleury, but what about him trying to run Sindey or Geno. A nice little storyline to watch for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 With Orr out of the lineup I think Laraque should reintroduce himself to Avery the first time they are on the ice together. No dumb penalty, but just remind him that Big George is just "itching for a reason" to drop the gloves with Mr. Cuthbert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Didn't realize Orr was being put back in the lineup tonight. NY taking a couple dumb penalties so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I still love Chris Drury. But I dispise the RANGERS!! That was a high stick goal from Dru, I can't believe they allowed it. GO PENS, even though they are getting their kicked 3-0 right now. Opps - PENs on the board 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 WOW 2 Pens goals in 15 seconds. Down 3-2 with 1/2 game left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatheadInCT Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Boy this game has gotten boring after a stellar 1st period... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Boy this game has gotten boring after a stellar 1st period... :( Umm...what? 1-0 after one, 3-2 after two, now 5-4 with 1:41 to go in the third and that's boring to you? I agree there hasn't been a lot of flow, but there has been enough hitting, goal scoring and lead changes to keep my interest, even with the Tribe playing the Yanks right now...

Bmwolf21 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I really thought NY was going to run away with this when Mr. Cuthbert scored to put the Rags up 3-0 in the second. Kudos to the Pens for pulling it toegther and escaping with a win. Versus' postgame show - that was the second time in Rangers' playoff history they blew a 3-goal lead - their record is now 93-2. Still unimpressed with Vs' game presentation. EDIT: Feels like deja vu all over again as I hit post #3,000 (for the second time.) Woo-hoo, paaaaarty!

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 shame penalty decides game Just like last night in the Habs game... Ya, it didn't decide the game, but gave them life into OT which obviously did decide the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Cheechoo ties the game late for the Sharks... Will another penalty decide a third playoff game in 2 nights? We will see?... Bad Uboo Soupy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I picked the Rags to win the series. After watching them blow a 3-0 lead last night, I don't think they deserve to win. I thought a team full of veterans, with many Stanley Cup winners, would never let that happen. For everyone who ragged this past season on the Sabres blowing leads, looky here, even veteran teams aren't immuned from it. Penguins score two goals 14 seconds apart and then score two more 20 seconds apart. WOW!! Just WOW!! Was a pretty weak call that sent Straka to the box. Karma I say. He was interviewed between periods saying they needed to stay out of the box.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millbank Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 The two were comparable in that they were both bogus. Just like last night in the Habs game... Ya, it didn't decide the game, but gave them life into OT which obviously did decide the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
