I don't know if Tampa can keep up this pace. If more goals don't come, and quickly, they might find themselves getting burned on the other end. But in the meantime....awesome period of hockey so far.

Hooray for game 7. Always cheer for a game 7.

Meh, I'll be at work. Sucks for me. Sure I'll have the game on. But I won't be able to appreciate it.

Insert snark here about not being as clutch as Toews or as good of a leader because of Cup count.

I was going to add in that one more would put him on Toews level but wasn't sure people would get the sarcasm.

 

What's really funny/interesting: when Toews scored big goals, it was called clutch. Because while he gets his fair share of points, his totals are considerably less than other players. He doesn't score all the time, so when he does it's clutch. Sid scores all the time, so when he goes for a few games without scoring, like Toews, and then scores, it's presented in the media as Crosby performing now as he should, picking up his game to where it should be. It's not considered clutch. Clutch gets a positive connotation in the media, but if you are on Sid's level, some won't allow him to be clutch - He can only perform as he is expected to.

 

Interesting dynamic.

Marleau wants to go to the finals, he's on it tonight

Looks like Dumbo D'oh might not be able to choke it away this year. :(

 

Friggin' Preds. :censored: :lol:

 

And, no, Marleau is not "Dumbo D'oh." ;)

I spent years hating that dude because he played for the Chowdaheads.

 

 

Mr. Jones...Martin is his name. What a save!

Joe Thornton is starting to get into Lanny McDonald neighborhood.

 

Happy the Sharks made it.  I like the Blues but I really wanted the Sharks.

 

Good for them.
