Third Man In

I'm going to second Jordan's call to play this after Jimmah makes a big save: This really, really needs to happen.

redundant thread has become redundant

Maybe it will turn out like '06, where the top four seeds in the West lost

And only game 4

It will be interesting to see how Chicago responds. They're obviously an extremely talented team, but they don't have the experience of running into a team like Nashville in the playoffs. Down 2-1 on the road is serious gut check time.

Niemi's starting to look a little shaky. Think we see Huet with another Preds goal?

Boyle scores early for SJ, extending his goal scoring streak

Jersey's finished with at least 10 fewer points than the Sharks the past three years. Jersey is a team that ought to be able to get itself out of the first round, but they rarely get talked about as serious Cup threats. San Jose is a team that ought to contend for the Cup each year. Semantics, I suppose, but one sounds much more dominant to me. And people have taken note the past couple years the Fatso's not getting it done in the playoffs anymore. There's a reason Babcock went with Luongo over him in the Olympics.

Carcillo continuing to own the Devils. Fatso and his boys look done.

I think no one puts the Devils in the same boat with the Sharks because they haven't been a dominant regular season team, haven't won a President's Trophy, haven't finished first in the East in the same time frame..

Good on you Ottawa. Don't take their crap.

Carcillo is giving Jersey fits this series.

Clicky clicky.

More trouble in Jersey. Down 2-1 headed into the third.

Let's Go Red Wings! :clap: :clap: Let's Go Red Wings! :clap: :clap: :octo: *splat* :octo: *splat*

You found a keeper!

Red Wings. Red. Wings. Enough of this s***. Just. Win.

lol that one surprised even Drew Remenda. That's a new low even for the Sharks. Un. believable.

McCreary is one of the best officials in the league. He does a great job of letting the players play and talking to them rather than just calling penalties. He doesn't lose control of games. The whistle may have been a bit quick on the Bert no-goal at the end of the game, but that would have only made it a 4-3 game. I hope the Wings are looking in the mirror rather than at the officiating after this one.
