[Ontario Wingsfan 0]

2-1 Sharks

[Z and D for the C 712]

Dallas wins, Avs win, now all I need is a sharks victory and we have a good hockey night.

[stormboy 47]

so i'm chiming in a bit late here...didn't watch the game, just some highlights, and i have to go do homework. (f*** school.) but i just watched the hightlights of the dal-anh game...and though dallas won, i saw the first dallas goal waved off for "goal tender interference." it made me think. so we think that the refs love the ducks. i agree. the duck fans disagree because they get more penalties than anyone else, so how could the refs possibly be giving favor to them? well you could make the argument that they commit three times the penalties of other teams but only get called for 1.5 times the penalties calls. that's a side point.

my point is, they called off a stars goal because someone was "in the crease." no one was. it made me think of of barry trotz being so pissed off because homer's skates were like two inches in the crease during one of our goals early in the series. he can use the precedent of that fateful goal during our big losing streak against the ducks when homer had like half a blade in the blue and the goal was waved off. but i think this could be a counter-argument. i mean, the point is, the ducks (and maybe not just the ducks--maybe it's just overall inconsistent officiating--but in my homer-rosy-glasses-i-hate-the-ducks view, it's them) get goals waved off for goalie interference even when, in this case, a dallas player is NO WHERE NEAR THE BLUE PAINT. so maybe homer's non-goal, the one that the preds are referencing, should have been a goal, and the refs just like to give the ducks no-goal calls because somehow the michilen man (i spelled that wrong; i don't care) can't stop everything, and the almighty, all holy, and all infallible, j.s. giggy actually might not be that amazing of a goal tender and f*** up once in a while.

i'm drunk and i'm ranting. GO WINGS IN GAME FIVE!!!! :chug:

If I have to see that stupid contacts commercial again, I'm gonna punch the TV.

3rd period underway

Good start so far with both teams getting some good chances.

[Third Man In 2,091]

Come on, Flamers, at least push them to 7!

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

Sharks score

[Ontario Wingsfan 0]

3-1 Sharks. Great save by Kipper on the 1st chance though

[RockyMountainWingGal 108]

Avs outshot 40-17 but get the win

Of course they are the luckiest bastards in the West. First they draw playoff inexperienced Minny instead of Wings,Sharks,Ducks or Stars. The Minn loses 2 of it's defensmen. Of course, watching the game tonight, I felt the Wild outplayed them for most of the night except for a few lucky shots - outshot them by about 2-1 but nothing to show for it. That's the breaks in the NHL playoffs I suppose.

This Avs team was full of holes all season - Q is an average coach - they are just benefiting from their situation - can't really blame them - just irritates me that they haven't been exposed.......will come, must be patient.

To be fair, Sakic and Smyth were out most of the year. But overall I think you are right about the Avs, and they would be my preferred second round opponent if the Wings advance. I'm a bit torn because that would involve the Sharks hanging on in this series, but they would still have to play Dallas in the second round.

We'll get them good in round 2.

San Jose: Where no 3 goal lead is safe!

(Detroit: Where no 2 goal lead is safe!)

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

Flames score with 1:16 left

4 - 3 Sharks

Gonna be a wild finish

[Ontario Wingsfan 0]

Sharks win 4-3, take a 3-2 series lead.

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

Sharks win 4 - 3

What a great game

[Third Man In 2,091]

The Flames are reminding me of the Blues of the mid-90s. Not built to advance past the first round, but sure to be a royal pain to eliminate.

[Ontario Wingsfan 0]

Good night of hockey although that Caps-Flyers game was something else. What a game that was.

Goodbye Ducks! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH GOod riddence...come on Dallas, FINISH THEM OFF TONIGHT!

Goodbye Ducks! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH GOod riddence...come on Dallas, FINISH THEM OFF TONIGHT!

Amen to that!

[edicius 3,269]

Just saw replay of the alleged goaltender interference that got Dallas' first goal called back...and wow, that was a horrendous call. That was a plain and simple moving screen, no interference whatsoever. No feet in the paint, no contact with Giguere. Refs tried to give Anaheim a chance, but no good.

And if they had let that kicked in Anaheim goal stand, I would have been livid. That was ridiculously obvious.
