4/15/09 GDT: Around the NHL Round 1 Game 1

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Lundqvist has been unbelievable so far! My goodness.

The battles between Erksine and Avery have already been great too!

[Guest Shoreline]

OHHH Ovechkin nearly scored all on his own with a slick move, after smacking Avery one.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Rangers hit the post, come back in just miss the net, Ovechkin comes back the other way and Lundqvist stones him. Wow!

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

PP upcoming for New York, starting to look a bit alive.

Not sure on that Crosby goal how it wasn't a "distinct kicking motion". The puck was moving away from the net and he kicked it back towards the net. It doesn't matter if Biron kicked it in, it all matters what the last offensive player's last touch of the puck was. He clearly kicked it unless Crosby is so good he has his own laws of physics.

Man, this Flyer game just got weird when the refs missed a blatant Crosscheck and a linesman just took out a Pen lol

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Ovechkin just flattened Korpikoski.

Seriously. I don't like the Pens but the Refs screwed up that call royally. Dude was bleeding all out of his nose and mouth.

Same situation as the Franzen high stick. How the F do you miss that call???

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Even without a goal, one of the best periods of hockey all year.

Hartnell I think just cost the Flyers another PK here.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

I dont alot of people are going to be able to see this one but, Carolina and Jersey scoreless, Ward looking good.

[henrik40 76]

And of course, VS misses it and all we hear is the crowd

That Pen who got hit in the face with the stick in open ice, it was either a crosscheck or highstick to the face and everyone saw it...but the refs.

It is Versus afterall.

Good hits by Orpik and Richards to end another exciting period!

Errr, no VS didn't. I definately saw it. Kunitz crushed him along the boards.

[Guest Shoreline]

Brodeur played the puck from behind his net up to the front, then passed it right to LaRose near the blue line and headed right at him with 3 Canes in the zone and they nearly scored. Too bad.

[Guest MrSandMan]

As much as I hate the Pens (and Crosby), that was a good goal.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Holy F. Ovechkin with 6 hits and 6 shots on goal in ONE period. Nuts.
