And there's still that rumor - true or not - of him being a real locker room cancer. So, by all means, let him go to Pittsburgh.

Exactly my point. Ditto. Even as an Ovie fan, I have no desire to see this Winter Classic whatsoever. Frankly, if I was Toronto, I'd be even more pissed. As of right now, they're the only O6 team that still hasn't gotten to play in a Winter Classic (if you count the Habs in the Heritage Classic).

Sure does.

Ugh. Guess I won't be watching the 2011 WC. Good job, Bettman. You're not attracting new fans and you're driving current ones away.

One fewer game played too in the postseason. Give him that extra game and he'd likely have been 2nd in blocked shots to Brad Stuart. Wasn't too shabby during the regular season either, with 21 blocked shots in 20 games I'd like to play a little stats game. Divide shots blocked by time on ice. That'll give an accurate depiction of who's blocking the most shots. Stuart: .053 shots blocked/min Rafalski: .053 Lidstrom: .039 Kronwall: .058 Ericsson: .047 Lebda: .043 Lilja: .074 Let's try the playoffs. Stuart: .079 Rafalski: .059 Lidstrom: .044 Kronwall: .064 Ericsson: .035 Lebda: .000 Lilja: .107 Wow, that Lilja sure does suck at shot blocking. It's not like he's the best on the team. OH WAIT, HE IS. By a pretty large margin, to boot, especially in the playoffs.

Ouch. 6-0.

Bleh. Halak was bound to have a bad game. And this is definitely it.

Physics.

Even the refs couldn't save the Sharks. Shocking. Brad Watson is a biased incompetent boob.

That's some funny-ass s***. Brad Watson needs to be investigated for fraud.

PPs? They don't need no stinkin' PPs.

I love the way you think. My bet is that NBC would cut the game, go to the pageant and maybe show score updates during commercial breaks.

Wonder if the Hawks fans will mock our cries of biased officiating now.

We must have been watching different games, because he was one of the most effective shot blockers on the team.

Well, after he remarks he made about Lidstrom and Datsyuk during that whole ASG weekend debacle (basically implying that Lidstrom was faking his tendinitis, saying that the suspension was their own fault, etc.), it wouldn't surprise me. Kid doesn't think much of his fellow players unless they're on his team.

Bah, in my house, I complain more about officials than I do Crosby. But I'll give you a prime example - when watching the last Wings/Pittsburgh game on NBC, my wife was in the kitchen and I was in the living room watching the game. The broadcast, as per usual on NBC, was saying "Crosby" nearly every third word. My wife poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "All I hear is 'Crosby, Crosby, Crosby'. It's really annoying. Are there any other players on the ice?" I didn't have to say a word and just laughed.

SJS/CHI: 4-3 PHI/MTL: 2-4

You win the thread. Me, I'm just going back to spending inordinate amounts of time playing PS3.

"Too Many Men" will be the chant in Boston for a while.

Wow. Epic, EPIC chokejob. The entire coaching staff should be fired.

Tim Thomas' playoff handlebars rule.

I want to see OT, dammit.

I love how the score in this game just signifies how this series has gone.
