I have it here on Time Warner.

kills me that the only wing not credited with a hit in the game was Huds. And the one collision he's involved in cost the team Cleary.

going back to my first round vancouver/chicago series strategy of cheering for random catastrophic meteor.

plenty of time left.

i think i'm going to barf

Glorious.

I didn't realize this was a best of 5 round.

From what I saw, it looked as though it deflected up off stuart's stick, then was popped down on kronwall's blade, which gives it that odd bounce down before 5 holing Howard.

classic

I just have a hard time calling what I saw in Game 2, "hockey"

Thank God for context.

If Bettman thinks I'm going to watch a team flop their way to hoisting a Cup, he is sadly mistaken.

It's a trade-off, either you'll get something that jumps onto an edge and rolls, or picks up a rolling spin and jumps over your stickblade. I've never liked playing with a hockey ball, just too easy to get under it and launch it vertically. Been playing roller off and on since college and so far the best street puck I've come across is that ProPuck. Something about how those sliders that close to the edge seem to minimize the plasticky rubber vinyl polyurethane whatever catching on a bump and wheeling under a nearby car.

Flypuck isn't something you'd want to play a game with. It's intended as a puckhandling training tool, same with the smarthockey ball. Don't know if I'd shoot either of them. Propucks aren't horrible, a lot better than those old RHI jofa pucks. If you're going to actually play, use a propuck-if you're just working on stickhandling, go with the other two.

Watching this dive-fest of a series, I can honestly say that this is not the sport I fell in love with 30 years ago. To go beyond tolerating this behavior by awarding penalties for it is beyond belief. If I wanted to watch people flail around for incidental contact to draw penalties, I'd watch soccer.

I would sooner root for a meteor storm to land on the remaining games.

Given a day and a half of rest after a 7 game series, and a late flight into SJ with some media chirpage, I think the wings did alright today aside from a 2 minute spazfest from Howard and a 5 on 3 gwg. Not worried.

This game is so crazy. I love it.

nice job

A Phoenix win is a Bettman win. Don't let Bettman win.

what's the theme now? girls and guitars?

Wow. You guys got a lot further last night than I had expected.

Signs point to yes.
