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

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

I didn't like that last goal that he let in. Looked mostly stoppable to me, but I'd have to see it again.

I just rewatched the goal. Theo was positionally correct (especially given the 2-on-1) and Dubinsky just put it where Momma keeps the peanut butter. No chance for Theo.

Doesn't change the fact that I still think he's not the guy to lead a Cup team.

Still, I feel the Caps' pain as far as bad goals are concerned. And I say that as a vehement Ozzie supporter.

Everyone s***s on him alot, but when Wade Redden keeps it simple he's a very good role player.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Pretty poor shot selection for Green. He pauses, sees 4 guys clearly covering all net-corner angles, and fires anyway.

Here's a crazy idea....pass it down low and set up for the one-timer.

I know what you're saying, but people s*** on him because he demands - and makes - several million more than hes worth. No "role player" should be making 6M.

Role players don't make $6.5 million per.

But that would negate the possibility of him scoring.

Green starts off the playoff season -2. What a Norris calibre Dman.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

44-18 in face-offs favoring the Caps.

That's flat-out amazing.

At first I thought you were knocking me.

Yeah, you guys are right about the price. Just another poor Sather move, for 2-3 million I'd take Redden any day. For 6.5 though, I wouldnt want anything to do with him

Whitney and Gagne break the shutouts for their respective teams.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Rangers win! What a great game.

[Jwo 7]

Crappy CBC 480i > Versus 1080i for playoffs. Ouch man the Flyers are getting ''it"

[titanium2 867]

Is it me or do the Penguins look really good? Especially their PK.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Typical Philly. Can't win, so start cheapshotting.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

The Flyers are the dumbest team in the NHL. Geez you think they'd learn.

[XxGoWingsxX 0]

man...the flyers goonin it up trying to get the pens to fight

[XxGoWingsxX 0]

ohhh look...the flyers got their way lol

[EuroTwin 240]

My god these calls... how many PP have the Pens had this game?

[whitneydatsyukrox 0]

Fantastic game!!! Gomez was an absolute beast, Dubinsky made a glorious play, and King Hank was rock solid.

Theodore wasn't as good as he needed to be, but I still believe that no matter Washington's goaltender, the Rangers have a legitimate shot at this series.

Good work, Rangers! Barely made it into the playoffs, but you proved many wrong Definitely takes the sting off of the sad, sad Pittsburgh game...

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

How can anyone not love this? Flyers goon it up and Penguins push back, it's great stuff. Way to go Billy!

[sixer 37]

Shocked that NJ & Pit so easily handled their opponents.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

I cant believe how s***ty Philly and Carolina looked. I was expecting a fight, but Fleury and Brodeur barely had to do anything tonight.

[Yak19 303]

Not surprised at the Pens-Flyers outcome, they don't have it in the playoffs, Biron should be done, if they were smart it would be Nittymaki time.

Tough loss for the Caps, Duby with a beauty. Theodore stunk it up for them.

Surprised at the Devils smacking around the Canes, but i still think that will be a series unlike the Pens-Flyers which will be like something out of a snuff film.

Alrighty Blues-Canucks... man i love playoffs hockey.

[dat's sick 1,002]

Awesome game to open the playoffs!

Ovechkin vs. Lundqvist is like an unstoppable force vs. an immovable object. 1-0 Lundqvist after tonight.

This is going to be a fun series to follow

[Superman54 91]

Rangers and Capitals had an amazing game today, which will only get better. What playoff intensity they showed.
