Urban Warfare 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 The National Hockey League has suspended Calgary Flames winger Ville Nieminen for one game as a result of his actions in the waning moments of Calgary's 4-2 loss to Detroit in Game Four. With three seconds remaining, Nieminen skated straight into the Detroit goaltender, knocking him back into the net and was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for charging. Nieminen, a 27 year-old aggravating winger who had scored earlier in the game, has three points in 11 playoff games for the Flames this year. The series, tied 2-2, resumes Saturday in Detroit.

First, let me just say that's awesome in respects to your cousin making 15th Overall. And tonight the Sharks look to slay the Avalanche. I think it'll happen, just because I don't think the Avalanche can avoid elimination any longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 The NHL should be embarrassed by how games 3 & 4 of Philly/Toronto were called. And this goalie interference crap has become a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 San Jose and Colorado are headed to overtime, at 1-1. Calgary wins 1-0. Kiprusoff was spectacular. Now, after listening to Barry "Slick" Melrose is it: Cal-GARY, Cal-gray, or Cal-ga-ree? I only ask because Slick used all three pronunciations. I've always known it as Cal-ga-ree. EDIT: Not even two minutes in, and it's Sakic...AGAIN with the winner, tying Rocket Richard for the most OT goals in NHL Playoff history. Sharks head back to Colorado only up 3-2, and have to be wavering right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always known it as Cal-ga-ree. I'm pretty sure that all the oil in the mullet affects your thinking. Kinda like Cherry and the high collars. But you're right, I think - it should be cal-gah-REE. (Edit) I just read that Joe Juneau is retiring, apparently to put his engineering degree to good use. You don't hear that every day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Great shades of Todd Gill, this has been a bad period for McCabe. Not taking anything away from Roenick and especially Primeau, because the goals were nice, but those were a couple of ugly giveaways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treble 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Ho-lee FUCK, that was horrible. That shorthanded one especially hurts since it's a 2 goal instead of a 1 goal lead. Hope they got some momentum from the last one, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Anyone else in support of limiting McCabe's ice time? His giveaways have led to three Flyer goals in the last two games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Anyone else in support of limiting McCabe's ice time? His giveaways have led to three Flyer goals in the last two games. Emphasis on giveaways. If he gets the puck, Leetch should skate over, say "I'll take it from here, junior", and bring it up. And Philly, of course, should give the Leafs the courtesy of doing just that.

Guest BrokenWings Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Yeah, what is up with that?! What happened to Esche! Philly scores again. 4-1 -- looks like goaltending isn't that big a deal to Philly at this point in time. Edit: Primeau brought his work boots tonight.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Well, Primeau scored again, so I suppose that doesn't matter. But as for Burke, I suppose the Leafs strategy of "don't shoot on him for most of the period and hope that he pulls something when we do" worked on Esche...

Guest BrokenWings Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Still no details on Esche, other than the fact he's still in the trainers room and the door is closed. Really weird, I hope it's something to do with like, equipment as they mentioned. I'm just waiting for this game to get ugly at this point, especially if Philly scores again.
