I just wish we had more player that we KNEW would play their heart out, everygame. Datsyuk, Helm, Lidstrom, Draper, and 95% of the time Clearly aren't enough. We need guys who will play like this is a historic event and come out with the pride and determination that it demands.

Seriously, I'm getting frustrated.

Please stop this nonsense. Modano was useless. If Osgood had played in this series we almost certainly would have been swept.

I am really starting to loathe the sight of these Shark players. Namely Couture, Setoguchi, Boyle, and I literally never want to see Joe Thornton ever again. That said, Z's play was so pathetic. I don't know how you make that pass and think its OK.

I cannot stand Logan Couture. He looks so unbelievably annoying.

I'm blown away. This is rediculous. We Just give it away. Stupid passes and shots define why we look as bad as we do sometimes.

Thanks. I'm on my phone, don't get alerts.

Link?

Someone please get me a link for online stream? Anyone?

Lol, that's awesome if its true. I need to take a look at my Homer signed card. I'm thinking it one of his earliest if not his RC. Gave it to my Wife though, I'd be pretty stoked if it was when he wore 15.

@Hockeytown0001 Abby has been driving me bonkers. This kid got owned in terms of hockey grinder smarts last round by Shane Doan and now he's taking offensive zone and other stupid penalties when the game is on the line. Babcock is all about playing him and are other bad decision makers when the game is on the line too. BTW, Rafalski has literally turned into Samuelsson. He'd try to shoot through a Bolivian Mangrove if it were between him and the goal. Ahhh!

I was at the March 21st, Pens-Wings game. Easily the loudest I've ever heard the Joe. Was louder than Game 2 of the Pheonix series for sure. When Modano tied it, the noise broke through to where it didn't even sound like people anymore, its really hard to explain. I was quite literally standing there in awe of it. Went to Boston and caught a Sox-Yankees game that the Sox won 6-5. The atmosphere was incredible and very loud for an open structure.

Even the Sharks board is giving this mad love. Too bad I can't see it yet on my phone!! ...waiting to go home...

Wow. Go Bieksa! One word: Classy.

Ill give you that was exaggerated, but not much in my mind, and really only for the humour of it. I have seen things written by Canadians to support that view, maybe not as extreme as I made it sound, but very much the same sort of concept. I believe and have seen a lot of Canadians quickly and easily throw (or have thrown recently) FLA, TB, PHO, ATL, PIT and even DAL under the bus. The pretense being how stupid Bettman can be for putting the team there, blah blah blah, the don't sell tickets and are struggling, they should go back to the promised land of hockey lore! And alot of it is true. At the same time though, Edmonton is failing miserably and isnt to far from possibly having to leave but I don't see Canadians lining up the firing squad to move them to a "better" market, which would likely be in the States. It doesn't seem like the betterment of hockey to me but the betterment of Canada. Winnepeg, if it weren't in Canada would almost certainly be condemned by Canadians as a destination because the market looks much like Nashville, minus the country music capital draw (which apparently is working out well for them). The truth is, the NHL doesn't need another cap floor type spender, but since its Canada, its ok. Even I'm excited to see a team go from somewhere it isn't loved to somewhere it is, but that doesn't mean the business side is going to work and be good for the NHL. This attitude is very prevalent, I see it all the time.

I second that, they work so hard. I know a lot of people say they play boring hockey but I was impressed with their effort.

I love CBC. Furthermore, I love tsn.ca. For TV and internet, hockey coverage doesnt really get better than through those mediums. Canadians know the game, except most Toronto fans (their rabid, foaming at the mouth, drone/cult-like man love over their slightly-better-than-the-Marlies franchise every year blinds them to obvious hockey rational leading to fans to think JS Giguere could land them Evgeni Malkin, the rights to Mario Lemieux, and 43% stock in the Stanley Cup.) Regardless, I love their love of the game and the dedication to presenting it for the beautiful game that it is. My issue is with Canadian arrogance over it. Read the comments on tsn.ca one time, for kicks. A huge number of Canadians are sports version of Quebec, they basically just want to break the Canadian teams away from the rest and do their own thing. Besides the Wings, Bruins, and Crosby's Pens (what would Canada do without there Brad Pitt/Wayne Gretzky/Jesse Owens mutant?) it seems the rest of American teams can go fly a kite and just make the AHL a 51 team farm system for Canada's 9 team League of Extraordinary Canadians...Annoying.

Oh, Zetterberg, you rock.

Filpulla picking pockets. Awesome.

Abdelkader is so rediculous sometimes. Undisciplined penalties at key times burn me up.

I love Datsyuk.

Draper skating like Helm. I love it.

Ahahhahhahhhahha! Cleary boy!!!

Ericsson?! Weird.

Rafalski, again. Wonder if he shoots with his eyes closed?
