Well, I can't deny that I was looking. Over the top though, imo. Lovely eye candy.. but over the top.

With Khabibulin playing like that, he's definitely going to get a shutout!!

This'll be good for both teams. GM wasn't capable of getting Lemaire the kind of players he uses (besides a couple of them) and Lemaire wasn't able to make the players he had play his system. pl0x to hire for defensive coach, kthx.

Well, I had hoped for less, but I can't really find anything to complain about here. Could have easily been paid 5 mil or so to play on Crosby or Malkin's wing the next 5 years..

Columbus. First ever playoff game, goalie with no experience, really short travel, moderate offense (but good defense) That's opposed to Anaheim's Conn Smythe winning goalie, good defense, suddenly-on-fire offense, tons of proven and cup winning veterans, highly physical play, and the long travel.

I'm not voting until the Turco'ing of that one goalie in the shootout gets posted up.

Probably because the experience they'll gain playing on the top lines of the Griffins in the AHL playoffs is more valuable, experience-wise, than the minimal time they'll get on an already stacked Wings roster (unless someone absolutely blows it).

Unfortunately, I didn't see it. However, sometimes people here forget: Sometimes, even though you play hard and do well, you get outworked and/or outplayed by the other guys. It just happens. It's good to see that's the general consensus and not a lot of (insert insult) (insert name).

Hart: Goes to the player with the most points on the crappiest team Norris: Goes to the d-man with the most points, or in the case of a close bout, the best defensive one among the 2/3 with the highest points Selke: Goes to the one with the highest points or SHGs among forward's recognized as having good defense Starting to see a pattern with the media's voting, here...

So much for getting the #1 seed. "The Great One" indeed.

Nah, Udaho Seriously, though, nope. TPBM ate crayons as a little kid.

Well, when you have a chance to sign arguably the most talented goaltender of all time and have the money to spend... Anyhow, this was a little piece taken out of HF (written by yours truly) regarding Osgood and the Hall. I would appreciate seeing a well thought out argument against his consistently very solid playoff performances with Detroit (.920 SV% with them over his career, 2 cups as a starter, 2.00 GAA).. heck, you can even toss in his playoff runs with the Isles and Blues and he still looks good in that regard (considering neither of those teams had any business being there in the first place). Now, you can always claim it's the system/Detroit team, but then you could make the same argument for Brodeur (.919 SV%, 1.96 GAA, 3 cups as a starter.. while facing a lower average SA/G and arguably lower shot quality as well). But personally, I think that's a ridiculous argument, one of which I wouldn't bring against either goalie. You don't win the cup multiple times and come out with stats like that in 10+ playoff starts by being anything less than superb, no matter what team you're on. There are quite a few players in the HoF who had average regular seasons, but are in the Hall (deservedly so) for their spectacular playoff quality.

Wow, all 3 of those shootout attempts absolutely characterized the Avs' entire season. "******* sucked."

What's with these lame attempts by the Avs players?

Lol @ Budaj giving up the first shot on the shootout after the regulation/OT performance.

How about a 5 minute 5 on 5 overtime in which both teams are required to use the Flying V?

And to the s***out we go.

I'll drink to both statements.

Budaj again, jesus.

Loll, nice whiff Nabby. Good thing Datsyuk wasn't around.

So do they just not do penalty shots anymore? That's like, textbook.

Whether or not the Avs win this game, they still blow it.

Jesus H Budaj!

Goddammit, you stupid ******* bastards. Edit: So this is what it feels like to be an Avs fan this season..

Wait, why does Nabby get the Bud Light difference maker? Budaj's been even better.
