 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
Boston better be prepared...
Onto more serious news: Semin and Green need to wake the fuck up and play some hockey. Semin was playing well in the second, Green's been a zombie all game. Has he even taken a single shot?

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
We are such a weird ugly team.
But our "attack the guy on the opposing team with the puck, shoot the puck if you've got it" approach seems to be working. Very rarely do we actually "look" like a team.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
I think it's clear from this series that Malkin cracks under pressure. Varlamov has been as good as Fleury, and Pitt can't get by on Crosby alone (who, again, has scored 4 of their 5 goals...so we'll be blocking him better on Wednesday anyway). I think we've got a good chance. Plus, Crosby's the diva -- he'll need his beauty sleep more than we will between Friday and Saturday.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
Yeah, Malkin hasn't impressed me, ever. MVP material? I think not. Crosby's clearly the best player on that team.
The game was ridonkulous.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
Considering the Caps' colours were blue and brown and white until like... two years ago, yeah, it's impressive.
Malkin has a lot of secondary assists and gimme goals. His stats are grossly inflated. Crosby's more of a clutch performer.
Ovechkin should and probably will be MVP. Considering none of the Caps' other stars have even shown up in this series, the fact that they're up 2-0 is all on him.
I just hope Pittsburgh can come back so the series lasts longer.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
I don't think Varlamov really counts as a star. He'd played in what, six games before the playoffs?

If the Pens can snatch the next two games, they might pull out everything they have to win Game 5 in Washington. Don't count them out just yet.

And while none of the goals he allowed yesterday were amazing/sweet shots, they should've been taken care of by the defense.

Oh, they totally have a shot. But they MUST win both of these games. If they split, its over. Pretty much. The way I see it, if the Pens were going to lose two straight games in this series, better be the first two and not Games 3 and 4. If they had won last night, I could've seen them getting confident/lazy and fucking themselves right out of the series. But now they're going to work hard to ensure two big wins for their home audience. Of course, this is all moot if they lose tomorrow night. And I do realize I'm pleading Pittsburgh's case to a few Caps fans, but I must vent my feelings somewhere.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
How many titles do every other teams in the league have in the last year?
That's right... ZERO.
Suck on it. Taste it. Swallow.
Tasted bitter didn't it? Yeah, those were your idiotic statement that you just ate.

THANK YOU ustream!!!
Datsyuk needs to pick up the scoring. He's making plays, but nothing is executing.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
So, I really don't like the Ducks, but I really want them to win this series. If only to shut Chip up.

Why does Anaheim always have goalies getting hot at the right time? It's annoying.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
It's about god damned time!
Started 0-2 with 3 shots on PP.
They need to step up their game in a hurry if they want to win this series.
