I threw in the towel after the 2nd OT... what did the Sharks do to get the penalty? They way the refs were letting stuff go in the OTs periods I saw (trips, high sticks, etc.), I figure a Shark must have had to pull a knife to get 2 mintues!!!

Wow, what a game! Let's hope that really was Turco's best game ever! :)

I have little faith because our team is so friggin dominant that i admit our goaltending is un tested thus far? That is a compliment of how insane and good our team is! All i'm saying and it is the truth... is our goaltending is yet to be tested and we are in the western Conference Finals! I would not have it any other way and am pretty confident against Dallas. I'm simply just being truthful and i really hope we continue to play like we have and only let 20 or so shots a game. But it does worry me a bit.. lol sorry I'm not overly confident and gloating about how we are gonna smash everyone in our path.. hate doing that cause whenever i do it jinxes us lol.

No worries here....just messin' with ya! :P:)

Rangers-Pens was a good game, but went pretty much as I expected. The Pens are a really impressive team. It's their commitment to defense that really surprises me. This is a complete team with everything it takes to get to the Finals. I expect them to take Philly out.

Stars-Sharks was an amazing game. I watched it, against my better judgment (had to wake up early today) but I don't regret it at all. Two teams playing all-out, just an incredible battle of wills. That game shows why scoring is so unimportant to the quality of a hockey game. 1-1 through 3 OTs but as exciting and compelling as a sporting event can get.

Serious props to players on both sides. I thought Roenick and Nabokov were outstanding. The save Nabby made on Richards was the save of the playoffs so far. And Turco matched him and then some. Turco was inspired and I found myself really rooting for him, after losing games like this in previous playoffs. Mike Ribeiro played his ass off, too. I have a lot of respect for the effort he gave.

Then there's Brendan Morrow. I've liked him for a long time, but this was a heroic effort from him. He was just epic throughout this series. That's what being captain of an NHL team is all about.

It's been a great playoff year so far. Let's hope the good guys keep it rolling against a surprisingly good Dallas team.

Great post. :thumbup: What a fabulous game that was. I don't even mind being tired today, it was something to see. I guess Brendan Morrow just showed us all why he wears the "C" in Dallas now. I love Mikey Mo to death, but Morrow is just amazing, inspiring, and puts his money where his mouth is, so to speak. What a leader, what a performance (the entire series, not just last night).

Neither goalie "deserved" to lose... they were both fantastic. I am intrigued to see how Turco responds to Mule and Co. San Jose played tough, and it didn't get them very far. I have said all year, don't underestimate Dallas, and I know the Wings do not. Literally anything could happen in the WCF, and probably will!

I can't imagine anyone who witnessed that game, hockey fan or not, could ever question that the NHL playoffs are more exciting and compelling than any other sports playoff. Bar none.

Is it Thursday yet? :yowza:

That Stars/Sharks game might of been the best game of the playoffs thus far. Great action in all the OT's.. That hit by Brendan Morrow was so great, and clean I might add. I think that was the hit of the playoffs by far IMO
