NHL 2006 Playoffs thread...

Recommended Posts

Is game 7 going to be on NBC or OLN? I hope to God it's on NBC b/c if not then this whole hockey season has been a wash for me.

 

Have you ever heard Bob Cole, particularly in the last three months? Not a total wash.

Incidentally, should there not be a winner at Winged Foot tomorrow, NBC is going to have perhaps the greatest sports doubleheader ever on Monday, with a US Open playoff in the afternoon and Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals in the evening.

I was just discussing that with my dad, the ridiculous amount of good televised sports this weekend.

 

Be a lot easier to swallow if the Jays could beat a fucking AAA club, but thats for a different thread. And the U.S not being decided (by the way, NBC's coverage enrages me, their analysts are harsh to a fault and Johnny Miller tries to hard to be funny) isnj't that far fetched either. Mike's four back, mind you :D, and a Ferrie stumble isnt that out of the question.

Has there ever been more than one penalty shot given in a Cup final? I know Pronger's goal in Game 1 was the first successful PS.

 

EDIT: No penalty shot. That's a pretty silly rule; a player covering up a puck to save a goal can't avoid giving a penalty shot just because there was a delayed penalty call.

I think the refs are going by the fact that they lost sight of the puck in Markkanen's pads. There was no conclusive proof that Staios kept it out of the net.

 

Granted, the whistle should have blown sooner...

I hate to say it, but I think the Oilers are fucked at this point. That 2-man advantage was as good of a chance as they're likely to get for the rest of the game.

I'm not so sure I would have given the Smythe to Ward. I mean, he was awesome and all for stretches, but he did get pulled in the Conference finals and if they had left him in there for that game, it's possible they wouldn't have even won that round.
