"Crosby put himself in a vulnerable position. After he stripped the player in question of the puck, Crosby turned his back to him while advancing towards the net. By positioning his stick further away from Hedman, Crosby ensured that Hedman had to extend his stick in a slashing motion in order to make the play he wanted to."

Honestly, SJ is better than either of these teams.

[CallawaySabres]

Should have pulled the goalie when they had control with 2 minutes....huge mistake

[Randall Flagg]

Hedman has not been very good

[Neo]

He, um, iced the puck.

 

 

 

........

Technicality .... Is that reviewable?

Good game/series. The Penguins definitely deserved to win. Lets Go Sharks!!!

[CallawaySabres]

Gonna be a great Cup

I was thinking the same thing.  

[darksabre]

Could Stamkos' stock be any lower?

[...]

I wouldn't touch it.

[Norcal]

Ooh he touched it

[TrueBlueGED]

Sucks. Choker. Didn't show up when it mattered.

 

Trade to us please :D

[Thorner]

Ooh he touched it

He avoided it in 08 when they lost, and touched it in 09 when they won. He was always gonna touch it today.

 

Two best teams in the finals, should be a great series.

8th OA, and I'll even throw in Pysyk. :)

 

He was so run down. Not his fault.

This is a poster who knows some history!

I say again. The NHL has the best trophys. That thing is gorgeous.

Finals thread is open.  I won't lock this until tomorrow because some folks might want to discuss tonight's game.

[WildCard]

No way Stamkos is back in T Bay.

This run will tell them the money is better spent elsewhere.

Yeap. Unless he takes a big cut in what he's projected to earn, he's gone

[Thorner]

To be fair, Stamkos looked fine today for his first game back. If his value takes a hit due to health concerns, and he's somehow available for a bit less, I hope we sign him.

I remember when the Sabres were in this exact game. It hurt so much.

2001? I love how the Pens always get that special little break. No delay of game penalty on Kasparaitis in that Game 7 in the late going; he scores the winner in OT; delay of game penalty on Tampa in the late going tonight; Mario's heaven-sent goal to tie Game Six. you, hockey gods. Right up the ass.

You don't need to lock it. Unpin it and it will slide down the board just like other threads.

This is a valid comparison, but I was actually being more general and referring to Game 7 of the ECF when I said that.

But it wasn't.

It was pretty funny that they were playing "Let It Be" over the PA.

I detect the snark. But it's true. Nothing half that clever is ever done in Buffalo. Because, as Ted Black said, it's a "mature" hockey crowd, and we can't have anything fun. It's missionary position and play Lady of Spain.
