Will I have any opportunity to watch the game on TV tonight?
(shaking the magic 8 ball)
“Unlikely… Erin will be up late and watching HGTV.”
So there you go. We’ll see.
Today both Erik Erlundsson and Rick Peckham said that Kubina is probably going to play tonite. So if any of you guys also saw his blood on the ice in Torino, here’s hoping he gets some revenge on Kovalchuk. Go Kubi! And for you Gator fans, it’s been pretty crazy up here in Gainesville with all the partying and media crews.
Thanks for the updates Marsha. I didn’t catcht eh reports on Pavel.
Revenge is a dish best served cold… I hope Kubina’s lust for revenge doesn’t ice the Lightning.
Artoo really crushed someone behind the net early on
Craig on the PP — 1-0 Bolts!
Marty got smashed.
Nice PP goal Craig from Prospal. I thought for sure they’d play for crap on the PP–which they did–but at least they got one.
What a nifty nutmeg feed from Prospal to Craig! Score!
Wish we’d quit shooting so much from so far away . . .
Fights are so stupid.
Ok, Dingman made a goal and the refs shouldn’t disallow it b/c a Thrasher slammed Dish into his own goalie! AARRRGH
Looked like a valid goal to me… scarier hip or knee injury to Lehtonen, though.
NO WAY that was a goal. And I’m sick of Chief whining about it. He made contact with the goalie, his body basically pushed the puck into the net (therefore, Dingman crossed the line to get the puck in) and he knocked the net off the posts.
It’s no goal. It’s not even arguable IMHO. Call me a bad fan but I think the fuss about this thing is bullshit.
The Chief is just like “Locker” (Craig Laughlin) here in D.C. - Idiot former hockey player with nothing of value to say. I said that even before the disallowed goal.
I thought it was valid b/c the puck was in the net before it came off, and the contact to Lehtonen was incidental… kinda’.
It’s arguable either way but in the end I don’t think it deserves 50 replays analyzing every frame and trying to draw a conclusion in ones favor.
Anyone notice during a PP Dan Boyle got tripped up by Sean Burke (Accidentally). Oh man, I was afraid that blunder was going to take Boyle out of the game…
JF: I wish I could say I’ve seen enough of the game & watched that closely to have seen it. But, as predicted by the magic 8 ball… the HGTV is cutting into hockey time.
Definitely Dingman’s goal should have been reviewed:
Here are the rules: “If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player so as to cause him to come into contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed to be contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.”
“If an attacking player has the puck deflect into the net, off his skate or body, in any manner, the goal shall be allowed. The player who deflected the puck shall be credited with the goal.
The goal shall not be allowed if the puck has been intentionally kicked with his skate or foot, using a distinct kicking motion, and subsequently enters the net.
A goal shall be allowed unless a distinct kicking motion is evident.”
Definitely a bad but true fan…
Crap. Four minute PK for the Bolts. Welcome back, Pavel…
PP goal, thanks to Poobina. Heh… I like that name for him.
Yeah, welcome back indeed, Pavel. Ever notice how he seems to be the go-to guy for players to hug after they win a game? Must be those long arms . . . Now why am I talking about hugs instead of action? I’m wanting to see some Bolts action now–gotta get these Thrashers off our backs. Oh no–1-1, that’s not the kind of action I was talking about!
Bolts PP… hrm… more suckage? I hope not.
Goal!
See? Talk some shit and ya’ get a goal. Party Marty in the last minute of the 2nd. Nice work off the end-board rebound.
Yeah, and nice to see us score at the close of a period. And nice revenge for that thuggish hit Marty took in period 1.
I know Alex won’t be posting tonight… he’s at the game… but where’s John?
Nice sticking to the post on Burke’s part. As for Vinny (L)… I suppose better late than never as far as taking the game to the ice, huh?
Two words: puck possession!
Yeah, we need it.
Good offensive zone pressure here at the end of the 3rd.
Shit.
Tied at two with 3 seconds left.
Waffle shot. What a gyp.
Is it just me or have we been looking like we’re on the penalty kill for the last 8 minutes, so now we’ve given Atlanta a point and have to work like hell to keep ‘em from getting 2 off us! “prevent” doesn’t work in hockey, same as basketball.
who the hell was it that dumped the puck in and then went off — which led (eventually) to Kovalchuk’s goal? That just cost us the game.
Marsha: we’re apparently still on the PK with nobody in the box during OT.
Burke solid with no D. Deja vu, really… it’s like watching Kolzig or Johnson up here.
I hate shootouts. Yes, they’re suspenseful, but they stress me out and I yell too much and it’s not good for my high blood pressure.
We gotta switch Gary to decaf
1-1
Kozlov and Vinny score
Ilya stimed!
Damn, Richards is badass.
BRADMASTER!!
That’s it, bitches.
JF: Regarding the link about “it’s Burke’s to lose”… is he the #1 goalie yet?
The Rich man! Makin’ Copies!
I’m still angry we gave Atlanta a point. next time, SHOOT ON THE OPEN NET!! >:(
He is right now. Steady hand (even if it’s injured)
The Hockey News is right about being able to set your clock by Brad Richards. Whew!
Yeah, WTF was all that patty-cake passing bullshit with the open net? Jeez, Burke could have scored on that shit.
Or, y’know, Fedotenko feed that pass to Vinny (L) quid pro quo style.
I’m sorry… I just realized that I never asked permission to use profanity here on the ‘Mag. Is it okay?
Shit yeah
Great!
At least I didn’t call anyone a cockchugger.
Bye y’all–gotta finish some work before zzzzz’s. Thanks for being such great virtual game-watching pals. And esp to John F for running da show. Am turning off my flashing “playoff push” necklace I got last time I was down at the Forum.
NP Marsha. It can be even more lively in here. I got pulled away from the game during the 2nd so I shut up…
