Doc Holliday

The Capitals have not been a playoff team for the last few years. Just smoke and mirrors with their offense. No substance.

I am blunt sometimes.

Booooo.

Yes he does. He is listed on the active roster.

Kipper feels his pain. So does Mason.

GIMME FOO GIMME FAI GIMME DABAZABAZAAAA!!! OOH!

It was Yandle. The guy is a ******* c*** on skates.

Osgood was listed on the roster for the minimum amount of games. It is based on being in the active roster for X games, not actually physically being on the ice. Every year I think this question has to be answered. It is like the "WHAT'S WITH DA WINGZ JERZY FONT?" question in the preseason. Whoever said Franzen had a bad game needs to stab themselves in the jaw. He had a huge hit, was physical all around, and helped make plays happen. Just because he didn't score doesn't mean he had a bad game.

It would be more funny if the thread was about Howard and not how ripped EZ is. Ohhh snap.

Man did Phoenix ever get bent over tonight. No offense, no defense. Only goaltending. And it was only a matter of time before their only asset let in a few squeakers. Complete domination.

Wow, Newfy. The Yotes have played better in 3 of 6 games. That is why they are here. It isn't because their enforcer is scaring the begeezes out of everyone. It isn't because they are outhitting everyone. It isn't because Bryz is outplaying Howard. And it isn't because the magical Phoenix fairy gave the Yotes a magical power to take this series to seven. It is because they have been flat out better in 3 of 6. That is why we are at this point.

Even better, he GURANTEED it.

Are you an expert?

For five mil a season? Blech.

OH NO! A ROOKIE GOALTENDER ISN'T USED TO THE PLAYOFFS! HOW COULD WE HAVE FORSEEN THIS!?!?! They still aren't putting the puck in the net. 2 goals on average (talking about the 3 losses) doesn't win you hockey games. I don't think anyone believes this. The Wings as a team were better than the Yotes in their wins, and visa versa for their losses. It's probably more black and white than any other series I have seen yet. Howard is on no leash. His backup is currently blending into the Wings bench like Bootstrap Bill and there is no chance he will be game ready in time for the Wings to make any kind of push for a series win, let alone a game 7. Also people have been plenty critical of Howard. Last time I checked you need to be a rookie to be eligible for the calder. So it's not valid? This isn't relevant information. Actually, it is. Just wait a minute... Howard has 9 games of NHL experience at 26. Osgood had over 200. If you cannot understand the difference between playing at the AHL and the NHL level, then there really is no reasoning with you. Nothing prepares you for the NHL season, or playoffs for that matter. The only way to be ready is to play the games. That's why AHL stats aren't brought up when talking about a player's playoff experience. Nobody cares. Blindly tolerates? Everyone is aware of Howard's faults, and has given him criticism for those faults (especially in game 3). However everyone is grounded in reality, knowing that putting in Osgood would be putting in a goaltender who is not ready to play in the playoffs. It worked in 08 because they had even playing time and Osgood was in game-shape. He is not in game shape now and his 2 or so starts this year proved that.

Because Osgood is totally ready to play in a game seven after getting 4 starts so far this year. Are you on ******* crack?

Wow the Kings choked it up.

I'm coming up with 32.33....repeating of course percentage of survival.

God somebody change the freaking spelling of the subtitle already before my head pops off.

Pot, meet kettle.

God damn this team.

Yes it was. So that makes them like 1-6-2 or something like that on Sundays.

Detroit should be happy with how they played so far. Howard will be fine. Question: Has Detroit won a single NBC game yet this season?

For those trying to jinx Bryz. You can't jinx the other team's goaltender. Only a neutral party (such as the announcers) or a Phoenix fan can jinx the shutout. It is meant to be an accident. You guys need to catch up on the rules of jinx.

And Howard can't let in a goal like that. Two people to blame. Whaddayaknow?
