holy crap, just got in from golfing and turned on the tv to watch the poker heads up tourny and the Detroit/Anaheim game is still on... In the 2nd OT right now with about 2 minutes left... how good has this game been?
Can't wait for the Bruins to take a 2-0 series lead tonight aswell

Really? Rulebook references? That was a classic example of one player finishing his check and another player not keeping his head up. If that was late, then 90% of all bodychecks are late. How many hits do you see when the player that is getting hit actually has possession of the puck?
Whatever dude. This is a classic example of a guy getting a penalty called on him. And it was the right call. You are wrong. Get over it.

Ducks win 4-3 in 3OT
Great game. Anaheim has really stepped up to the challenge.
They made some great moves at the end of the season, and are playing much better than a No. 8 seed. Should make for some great games next week.

Have you ever played hockey before? He got a penalty only because Hudler was hurt. No rule was broken as you are allowed to finish your checks on a player who just passed the puck.
Heard the Wings game today was really good. Too bad I was flying home and missed it.

Whatever dude. This is a classic example of a guy getting a penalty called on him. And it was the right call. You are wrong. Get over it.
FYI I checked out that rule 56 that you quoted and this kind of jumped out at me:
Possession of the Puck:
The last player to touch the puck, other than the goalkeeper, shall be considered the player in possession. The player deemed in possession of the puck may be checked legally, provided the check is rendered immediately following his loss of possession.

ya i saw the ending in the 3rd OT, incredible. Anaheim is playing much better than an 8 seeded team and are going to give Detroit a good run in this series. I still have Detroit winning in 6 games but could see The Ducks possibly pulling it out somehow.
Too bad about Boston tonight, down by 2 goals and got lucky by having another Hurricans goal waved off "for not going all the way over the goal line". After watching the replay it really looked like that was a goal for sure. Paul Maurice and the boys have to be a little pissed.

What's the hockey watching fan's consensus?
I think this is shaping to be one of the best/most interesting playoff years I have seen in a decade.
Five Original Six franchises making the playoffs, the Crosby/Ovechkin rivalry getting attention, an 8 seed (Ducks) knocking off a 1 seed (Sharks) in an instate rivalry.
It's looking good!

NHL 2Night...such memories. It's hard just getting a Barry Melrose fix on just the few minutes he has on SportsCenter.
Anyone know when VS contract with the NHL expires? I'd have to imagine that when it ends ESPN might have to at least considering bringing hockey back.

It's very exciting right now. The Pens/Caps match-up is awesome. And even though I want the Canucks to kick some major ass and go all the way, the Hawks are an exciting and enjoyable team to watch (they just better lose :? :x ).
I can't complain too much when it comes to getting a game on the tube. Between CBC, TSN, TSN2, Sportsnet, (East, West and Pacific) and the NHL package on satellite there was always a game or two (or three!) on every night this season Although, sometimes I would get a little tired of it. If it wasn't one of my top three teams playing, I'd leave the hubby and go watch another program downstairs However, it sure beats living in England last year when I was limited to one game a week, on at 1:00 am on a Wednesday night and usually an Eastern conference match-up :x I'm a Western chick

for anyone that has endured my anger with the NHL over the past two weeks about its coverage of the playoffs on TV, the cost of the playoff package, the lack of Bruins games on TV ... well, pretty funny listneing to the first 10 minutes of Bill Simmons podcast today essentially echo my feelings (May 4th) ...
it's a good listen, as, Simmons RARELY talks hockey.

Agreed! Soon as the first round matchups were announced I said it was going to be a great year. Great game last night and go CAPS!
Now it'll be perfect if the Wings and Bruins meet up!

I agree... the first round had some high points, but these second round series are really good matchups.
Like mentioned, I just wish ESPN would get some games. I could care less about what network carries a game (I think versus does an ok job, and between them, NBC, local channels, and NHL Network I see a decent amount), but without ESPN carrying any, they show no interest in the sport at all. Even if ESPN2 gets a game a week after the NFL season, at least they'd have a stake in the game and would promote it better.

loved the games on ESPN2 and always followed by NHL 2Night.
where else can they put the caps/pens on a week night though? NBC won't cover anything other than a saturday/sunday afternoon game. NHL needs to get back on ESPN. the sports world is really missing out on these amazing series.

Eleven of its playoff games have been decided in the final minute, or in overtime. That includes seven overtime contests and four last-minute scores in regulation to decide games.
Two series required ultimate seventh games. And the second round of its playoffs just commenced.
How can any league lose with a postseason like this one? Easy. See the one I'm talking about, the NHL.
There is no shame for the NHL's postseason games, whose second round started with a crescendo last weekend as the two brightest stars in the league, Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, led their teams, the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, to meet each other. Their second meeting Monday night produced something witnessed in an NHL playoff game only three times before -- each player recorded a hat trick.
Unfortunately, it was closer to being the proverbial tree falling in the woods with nobody around. The game was on Versus, formerly OLN, a network that goes to only two-thirds of all cable subscribers in the country.
It is said that more of these games aren't on more stations. It's been very entertaining so far. GO BRUINS
