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

[whitneydatsyukrox 0]

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

Pretty much 13 shots on goal, with 20-something shot attempts for Ovechkin. Insane. Somehow Hank stood his ground. It's going to be especially interesting since a couple days ago Ovechkin basically hinted at calling Hank out on having illegally big equipment. It isn't, it's been tested many times, but it's definitely going to be fun to continue to see the two standouts on their respective teams battle it out!

WHOA! That guy is huge. He looks like a bowling ball in a tux.

[stormboy 47]

ovie with 13 shots?? jeeezus.

Who, Kyle Wellfed? Well that's not very nice now is it...

[Doggy 130]

Lol. Nah not Wellfed. The guy that sung the anthems. He made Pavarotti look like Victoria Beckham.

What a great kill by the Canucks. They took away all of the shooting lanes.

[ComradeWasabi 109]

Oh my god that 5 on 3 kill was superb. 90 seconds of simply amazing defensive play.

[Z and D for the C 712]

I think the blues 5 on 3 has been studying the wings too much.

[Guest MrSandMan]

Blues vs Canucks is intense!

[Guest MrSandMan]

Luongo looks really calm and collective.

Blues vs Canucks is intense!

The intensity of that game is really scaring me for tomorrow night. I hope to God that the Wings can play with intensity. Oh and the Caps losing is also a little unnerving because of the whole 7th seed losing to the 2nd seed thing. Yes I am an egocentric Wings fan.

[Namingway 146]

ahaha

"... you f***en *****!"

CBC needs to watch the mics... I heard Burrows talking a little trash that wouldnt be appropriate for children

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

Haha wow Burrows talking smack.

[SDavis35 140]

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...

Agreed, didn't catch much of Rangers, but it's good

And for the best news of the night: O' Halloran is in Vancouver

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

Did we all forget the intensity from the Wings the last two post seasons? I understand that they are generally not a fiesty, in your face, gritty team, but they'll step it up. Just like they did the past couple years.

Watch out for Kronwall nailing someone in his first shift. I'm calling it! lol

so long as it's not Cleary.

[stormboy 47]

two canuck misconduct penalties at the end of the period? i'm not watching the game, but vaguely following it online between bouts of homework.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

so long as it's not Cleary.

Hahaha

[Namingway 146]

Great defensive play there. If that was one of the Red Wings players, the other team would've gotten a penalty shot lol

[redwings4life 3]

Blues score 2-1 canucks

[Guest MrSandMan]

Luongo is mortal.

2-1 Canucks

[Wings_Toledo 233]

The Blues vs. Canucks game is a good one, but all of these penalty calls are just ridiculous. I thought the Pitt vs. Philly game was well officiated and was kind of expecting the same here. Oh, that's right....O'Halloran.

They weren't the stanley cup champs the past 2 years though either.

I am praying they step it up. I think they will as well, but I'm not looking at the last 2 seasons when they were hungry to win a cup as my reasoning for thinking they'll step it up tomorrow. I'm looking at hoping that they want to repeat bad and were just trying to get through the regular season. I mean, for a team to win over 50 games and look like they weren't trying half the time, pretty damn impressive.

Also, on the GDT looking at Ozzy's numbers is pretty goofy, 26-9 with a 3 goals against. That's a great record for a high GAA and a crappy SV%. New season starts later today baby!

[redwings4life 3]

nice to see that a team is having just about our luck with the posts
