I think Detroit's age my catch up to them if this game goes on much longer. Anaheim's defence must be exhausted, though.

Tugnutt made 74 saves in one game.

 

But yes, both of them are tired as hell, but Mike Illitch must be liking this in a way. Longer the game=more cash.

 

Back to the game.

 

Anaheim doesn't have much chances, but their good quality chances though, especially Sykora having a great chance in the 1st OT.

Why is Vancouver playing like a bunch of morons?

Do you want the obvious answer to that question? :P

St. Louis basically just got two fluke goals yet they keep getting stupid penalties. Especially Naslund. I'm decked out in blue and red and am not pleased

God dammit. Not only did the Wings lose, but SD! and the Simpsons got pre-empted cause of it. Guess I can't expect much considering the changes that have been made but still, they dominated the Ducks most of the game, shots on-goal-wise.

Do you sweat it if you're Detroit after what happened last year?

 

No offense Canuck fans.

No offence taken.

 

I think this loss maybe worse then the ones they had last year. They battered Gigeure for almost 2 hours, were at home and ended up losing. That's gotta sting

The road teams seem to be getting off to good starts this year. Can't say I'm disappointed for the most part.

Wicked game between Anahiem and Detroit. As a massive Canucks fan, I was pumped for game one, then St Louis scored twice, which prompted me to switch back to TSN. At least the Ducks were keeping it interesting, and it's easy to cheer against Detroit.

 

Nice to see the Ducks pull out a win, but Detroit is way way too deep for them...I wouldn't be shocked if Detroit won 4 in a row there. But hey, anything can happen.

 

Stupid Canucks. WHY YOU GOTTA BE LIKE THAT?

I still have some faith left- they just need one goal to get them going

The Detroit - Anaheim game was awesome.

The Canucks game is just depressing to watch right now..

So, how bout them BC Lions? Maybe they'll do something this year in the CFL.

Anaheim played a strong 3 periods out of 6. Gigueire played outrageous. It was a wild game.

 

The Canucks played -3 peroids tonight. Cloutier was playing in another game via virtual reality. He was beyond bad. He let everyone down. Brian Burke has no one to blame but himself for thinking Cloutier could be a good goaltender down the stretch. The Canucks have a fairly good team but the goaltending is horrific.

I think that Cloutier never really recovered from that injury he had during the season...before that, he was playing extremely well.

 

Tonight, the only player on the Nucks who looks like he gave a damn was Brandon Reed (and Linden, but he always give a damn, bless his heart). It's sad when a rookie who has played 7 NHL games shows more than a bunch of vets.

Anaheim v. Detroit was very good. If that's how the entire series is going to be, I'm there.

 

Better check Giguere's gear. I think he had a backpack where HE CARRIED HIS TEAM FOR 3 FUCKING PERIODS with.

I'd be sweating it i I were them. J.-S. Giguere is not Dan Cloutier, and Curtis Joseph is certainly not Dominik Hasek.

Tugger was AMAZING in that game ... played against my beloved Bruins, and literally put on the best one-man-show that I've seen.

 

... and I'm still stunned that Rad said that the Flyers are going to win the Cup. I can't even see them winning the East, let alone beating the winner of the West. The East is Jersey's to lose, IMHO. If Boston finds a way to knock them out, it's anybody's to take, but until NJ is eliminated they've got to be considered the favorites.

Is Damon Allen QBing again this year? He's about, what, 90?

 

wrt Detroit-Anaheim, Detroit lost game 1 of the finals and won 4 in a row, so they're probably not concerned yet. It's when a team goes down 0-2 that you start worrying.

 

Speaking of game 2s, my predictions for tonight:

Jersey over Bahston to go 2-0. Brodeur once again shows why he's one of the best.

Philly over Toronto to go 1-up. Hitchcock bitchslaps his troops and hopefully we see a Brashear/Domi fight late in the 3rd. And I plan a trip to the Peel Pub or Shoeless Joes next Saturday afternoon (which will piss my gf off. She has yet to grasp the meaning of the term 'hockey widow'.) Oh, and somebody gets hurt. Let's say, Kim Johnsson, for shits and giggles.

Dallas over Edmonton to go 1-up. Marty Turco overcomes his playoff jitters and stands on his head.

I'm gonna set myself up for a great disappointment.

 

Oilers 3, Dallas 2 in 2 OT.

 

Actually winning in Dallas is a huge deal for Edmonton. Its the one thing that has kept them from being able to beat them the last four times out. With that monkey off their back, I'm thinking they are going to go back to Edmonton up two.

You mean the Devils' Defense once again showing why brodeur is one of the best.

If Detroit plays the way they did in OT, they will win the series. Just some unlucky bounces against Detroit, just like game 1 last year against Vancouver. And Cujo played great, especially on the 5 on 3.

The Devils defence isn't that great- Brodeur is the real deal

Do you actually watch hockey?

 

Stevens, Niedermeyer, Rafalski, Tverdovsky, White, Smhelik with Danyeko as a sub.

 

Perhaps not as strong as the unit on their last Cup team, but still in the top 4 of the league as a group. The older guys have simplified their game to their strengths, plus it is one of the best skating blue lines out there.

 

Brodeur is a fine goalie, but he has never had to play behind a weak blueline.
