    If you think that winning is exciting, watch the exciting games of the teams that were coached by Jacques Lemaire. He won 2 or 3 Stanley Cups and his teams were all god awful to watch.

    Lemaire only won one Cup. And it was in a strike shortened season. Besides that he never even made it to another SC final. Nice try though.
    I understand you have an opinion, but if you could refrain from just making shit up to support it, that would be great.
    Lol. Thank you google. It still doesn't make Detroit hockey any more bearable to watch.

    most goals in the league by detroit is pretty exciting..

    You escaped with a win last night Vancouver. I think this could be a great series. The Blues are a much better team than they showed last night.

    I do recall that hit on Jackman. In a word, I would call it...vicious

    Escaped with a win? We were in your heads, your kids were so nervous and we absolutely dominated in the 3rd. Also the only goal you scored Luongo had no chance on and he still ALMOST stopped it. Also the offciating was fucking atrocious, 2 non calls against you in the first 5 minutes and then a marginal call to put you on a 5 on 3 on which our PK dominated your so called high powered PP.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    If you think your officials were bad good thing you didn't watch NYR-WAS ;)

    I'll agree that the officiating was pretty bad. I say "escaped" because if the Vancouver team that showed up last night played the Blues at their best...they would have lost that game. However, you are right, the Canucks got in the young guys heads. We took some stupid penalties after the whistle than normally we wouldn't take. I expect the young kids to play better now that game one is out of the way.

    I do suspect a lot of it was nerves but Oshie was a non factor and Perron took a few dumb penalties and just looked rattled by the time he took that hooking penalty in the 3rd. I thought Mason played fairly well, he probably wants that 1st goal back but his high glove side looks weak, he bobbled about 5 shots with his glove hand that I counted, I think the Canucks will try to exploit that. I am happy to play tight checking 2-1 games against you guys because that is our bread and butter, the last thing we want is to start getting into high scoring, 6-4, 5-3 etc etc games because your offense is unreal.

    On the bright side McDonald and Boyes had very good games.

    Man, the Bruins played a great 3rd period. The Habs will have their hands full this series. My prediction: Bruins in six.

    As much as I'd love to see it go to six or seven games, I hope you're right.

    I actually thought they were pretty flat to start the 3rd.

    I'm forced to avoid all hockey until 9 PM pacific and watch the Bruins replay on NESN so, for B's games not on Vs., I'll be late to the party here.

    I actually thought the pressure was on the Bruins tonight to win this game (see San Jose, and tell me they aren't shitting a brick right now). And they did a nice job pulling thorugh ... but if you're a Habs fan, I think you have to be a little encouraged that Price looked pretty damn good in net tonight, better than I've seen him play this year.

    anyway .... nice win for the black and gold.
