I felt absolutely sick for Robbie last night. Stopping 56 good shots in one of the best goaltending experiences I have ever seen… only to let in that flubber from Scott N.
Of course I’m happy about the outcome, but I really wish it had manifested itself in a different way.
BTW-'Bout time that Neds got on the board. He and Teemu need to step it up, but maybe their age is catching up with them. At least Prongs is on fire.
For the 3rd straight time we’ve seen that goaltending alone, no matter how brilliant, can not win a series. The Sens might have provided us with the 4th example, but Gomez and Gionta are lighting it up!

Quite so indeed. Unspectacular goaltending CAN lose it for ya, but at some point the law of averages takes effect. NO goalie stops everything and after enough shots something,s in.
Ya know what’s ironic about that too is that after being worn down from a games worth of carrying a team what usually does land is a bad bounce, a deflection or just some blooper shot. Most times, or so it seems, it isn’t an unstoppable offensive play from the other team.
Halfway through the second Rangers and Sabres. I don’t remember the last time I saw this many shots not on goal.
EDIT: Lundquist had a guardian angel on that last one. Off the post and stuck in the back of his pads.
Unfrickin real. NYR scores the first of the game way late in the third and Drury ties it with a few seconds left.
This is by far the best game Buffalo’s put forth in their series against the Rangers, and its somehow the lowest scoring.
hooray for heavy hitting, welcome back Gaustad

hes had several tonight. waiting on OT to start. what a game. plus I just got a call my boy scored 2 free tix from his companys season package.
Ill be at Devils/Sens in NJ tomorrow night again. Im predicting/praying for marty to shutout and for us to sneak one or two in. Lets go Devils…
Here we go, game 5.
OMG!!! The f**k up of the series by Nabokov.
EDIT: Wilson better get a grip on his team because we are in their heads.
Go wings!!! I hope they can kill this penalty off on Homer.
4-1 WINGS!!!
The Wings just had the worst PP so far in this century. I really hope their no sitting back.
EDIT: Wings Win 4-1!!! It ain’t over, but I don’t know if the Sharks have the answers either.
EDIT2: Wilson does not look or sound happy at all.
My boys are smellin blood. The Ducks could be next.
win or lose that was the most physical hard fought game of the series.
good game,(well other than losing) should be a fun game 6
Schneider’s out the rest of the year. DAAAAAAM-IT! At least Lebda should be back next game.

Do you know what happened to Schnieder? Dislocated shoulder?
The wings couldn’t have won, thier not tough enough;)
This is like last year, Sharks are making a bad habit of this. Last year, they were 2 and 0 and then lost 4 straight. They should have been 3 and 1 going into this game , but purely stupid moves made it 2 and 2. Today (4-1) proves this isn’t their year. Even if they beat the Wings by the grace of God (2 games left) they will never make it past the Ducks.

Broken wrist from the Marleau hit which I do not believe was intentional in any way. I disagree that we can’t win without Schneider especially with Lebda coming back, though we are much better off with him on the blue line to be sure.

I don’t know exactly how to put this, but the Sharks played today like they didn’t think they were supposed to win. Not that they couldn’t win, but that they weren’t allowed to or something. It was weird.
I didn’t think it would be possible for anybody to match Hasek’s flub in game 2, but Nabby proved me wrong. Datsyuk is the very last guy in the league I would try that with, though it wouldn’t be fun having him in by himself one on one either.
Sen’s were looking a little shaky in the first… but are back on form right now, in the second.
C’mon, hopefully it’s time for NJ to go practice their golf game!

Alfredsson just scored. It doesn’t look like Ottawa’s taking no for an answer in this series.
