helleva shot. helleva turn over too

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

The "choker" with the overtime winner.

Good for him.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

What was Staal thinking? Great play by Arnott, better shot by Semin.

[Mabuhay Red Wings 177]

Game 2.

Ken Daniels calling the game

[Mabuhay Red Wings 177]

Nice to hear a familiar voice with Ken Daniels calling the game.

Let's see what kind of "loose" connections he makes to bring up the Red Wings.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Avery dressed for this game

[Mabuhay Red Wings 177]

Hehe. "A pair of 8s run together."

[MidMichSteve 1,115]

Looks like it could be another low scoring game.

[Mabuhay Red Wings 177]

I wonder if Ken will say "Knuble, the former Red Wing..." at some point.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

I wonder if Ken will say "Knuble, the former Red Wing..." at some point.

Or Avery.

[Mabuhay Red Wings 177]

Oh wow Mike Green made a good defensive play. Am I still on earth?

Yikes Knuble. Almost.

[Mabuhay Red Wings 177]

Chimera scores. 1-0 Caps.

Dumbass penalty by the Rangers. Now Caps are on the PP.

Capitals make them pay. Arnott scores. 2-0 Caps.

Timeout Rangers. Torts looking calmer than usual. Hehe.

Yes I'm a homer, but Ken Daniels is such a good play-by-play man. Great voice, great enthusiasm at the right times, good phrases/habits, fair commentary, etc. Glad he is finally getting some more exposure, hope he keeps it up. He is so much better than most of the normal network guys.

At first I liked it. It was nice to see him get some National time and maybe pocket a little more money in the bank. Now I can't stand to hear him work with someone else other than Mick. Ken's voice isn't all that annoying but sometimes whoever is doing analysis with him is.

I wonder how hard it is for Ken to avoid saying "Belle Tire Powerplay".

Heh.

[Mabuhay Red Wings 177]

Heh.

Or "If Arnott or Chimera score two more, fans get a free small curly fries from Arby's with a copy of the boxscore... Oh wait..."

[crotty99 302]

5th shutout of the playoffs so far. Defense wins championships I guess.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Shutouts a plenty so far.

[Mabuhay Red Wings 177]

Do the Rangers have any offense at all or is the Caps defense really that good?

You have to give some credit to the Caps, but the Rangers have had a lot of trouble generating offense. They will most likely continue to struggle without Callahan. They really need Gaborik to step up.

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

Off to Madison Square Garden in a bit. I'll try to give a full report on game 3 and see if the Rangers have more than .50 goals per game in them. The line in the sand gets drawn at 7th Avenue at 3pm

They struggled all year to generate offense. Gaborik fell off this year. Prospal was out most of the season. Dubinski was good for a short while. Other then that theres no offense. They get more scoring from their 4th line players then their 1st.

I would like the rags to at least win a few games.

[hooon 1,089]

They used to have Gaborik...

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

I hope there's more Tortorella-Brooks.
