There. FTFY.

Elimination game against LA again?

ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME?!?!?!!

Ozzie with the EN. C'mon, for old times sake.

Erat: WHAT?!?! I WAS CHEATING TO SAVE A GOAL.. C'MON REF!

Haha. the versus announcers call him E-rot. Fitting.

Wings are buzzing..I love it.

Drake agitating a bit.

Another Floppa special.

So lets add all the other stuff I mentioned to Unsportsmanlike conduct. We have to make sure none of that stuff ever happens.

On your high horse much? Wow..you are now penalized for being mean to the goalie. We better start penalizing all screens then, as we might impede the goalie from making stops. Look, I for one recognize that Avery was pulling a dick move, and that it's not the right thing, bad sportsmanship, etc. That doesn't mean you have to make a rule about it. Show me the rule in MLB where the 3rd baseman can't move in close to the plate and distract the batter. There's not one, because it's left to the players to use common sense. Hockey is just setting itself up for more bad publicity. "Look. Sean Avery is doing something stupid and that takes away from the rest of the guys out there. Hockey decided to make a rule about it. Let's call it Avery's rule" What a joke. We better make the rule about how all 4 guys on the power play can't all stand in front of the goal then. Oh, and the rule about how you can't tape the puck to your stick, and just skate around for the whole game. Might as well ban calling out an opposing player's nickname, cuz he might turn the puck over, and that's bad sportsmanship. Gotta make sure dick moves like these are punished, or the league will look silly.

You totally can. Avery was trying to cause a mistake, same as calling players nicknames and tapping the ice. Did Avery's actions work? Not in that instance. All of those are dick moves. None of those is very sportsmanlike behavior. Why is it that some is acceptable, and some is not?

Basically, the way I see it is this was a one time, special case thing that Avery did. How often really do 5-3's happen, and how often are players going to want to take themselves out of the play to do something like this? It's a risk/reward thing. He's risking a puck to the back of the head or being leveled by a defenseman by doing that. However, he's getting inside the goalie's head, which apparently lead to him scoring a bit later. Everyone on here opposed to this is seeing it as something that players are always going to use as a tactic now, and want it banned. It's a tactic that might be used once in a blue moon, but not every game, not every 5-3. It was entertaining, and a new tactic. Leave the rules as-is and move on. That's my take anyway.

I am glad to say I called this right after the 2nd Preds goal. Hell of a bunch of saves from Hasek throughout the 3rd. Very exciting game.

Franzen stacking the pads!

I hope they play that commercial again where JS Giguere is out in his truck in a storm, looking for his dog. My only question is, why does his dog wear the same pads he does?

HOMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew those juicy rebounds Ellis was giving up would bite him in the end.

Huds turned it on there..Need more of that from him.

FIL!!! How do you wait on that??? He who hesitates, masturbates!

Kronner has laid a good hit or two, and Zetts looks like he's loaded and ready...just hasn't been able to finish yet. Can't argue about Huds or Flip

We will score despite Sammy on the point for the PP.

You didn't see any of the playoffs games we used to play against the Avalanche, back when they were good? Talk about nuthugging.

LICK IT PREDS...LICK IT HARD AND LICK IT LONG!!!!!!!!!!!

Just need to chill out everyone. Hasek will calm down and finish out the game without letting in another one. Faith...we needz it

w00t...go Hasek! He needs to get back on his game. Too bad Arnott got away with something, but Hasek can't implode like that.
