but the 2 goals in 9 seconds are both defensive breakdowns and unacceptable.. yeah hasek should have saved at least 1 of the 2 but when you play on your heels that shit happens.. I look at goal # 2 also and it was another 2 on one.. hasek was millimeters from making a brillant save..

i think hasek and the wings will come back strong in game 4..

the good news is now they can take the series at home..

you most definitely can't expect to go 16-0 in the playoffs and really imo its good for the wings to drop one like this because it inspires them otherwise they get lackadaisical..

All good points you make and it will be nice to see if they can clinch in game 5 at home.

well this is where they separate the men from the boys.. i was not happy to see them pull hasek on a redirect and only 3 goals but now it seems like the right move.. osbad is looking pretty osgreat tonight.. just need that last goal to tie this mutha up.. i'll be here on the edge of my seat..

Fuuuuuuck!! Come on Red Wings....

On another note, nice to see the Pens sweep the Sens...

Bruins forced a game 6 wow!!! Go B's! I would be flabbergasted if they pulled this off.

Tim Thomas has really turned into a class A tender since a couple years ago. A real presence in net.

i am pulling for the Bruins for sure.. fuck the canadiens.. never liked montreal one bit..

yeah it was good to see the penguins take out the senators for sure.. i was so sick of watching the new orleans saints of hockey aka senators go to the 3rd round and get their ass kicked.. i am sure when they get sold to the united states they will be more competitive.. oh that would be if they even had an owner.. fucking hosers..

wings looked alot better in the end of the second period and third period last night.. hate to say it but hasek looks weak - leave osgood in and start game 5 the way you ended game 4.. no need to panic its a best of 3 series now.. all knotted up..

I don't think ANYONE likes the Habs. Or Quebec in general

And yeah the pens pulled it off! I was really happy about that.

rightfully so - they are pompous fucking pricks.. the hockey world doesn't revolve around montreal..

funny how they are owned by a company in texas..

i purposely drink molson now just to support the canadian company that sold canada's soul to the american devil.. nice work, eh.. its aboot time you conceded defeat and admitted hockey is america's sport.. just admit it was americans on vacation in canada that started it on a frozen pond.. then we will leave you alone about coming into our country a week before thanksgiving and buying up all our turkeys..

Looks like Osgood is going to get the start for game 5 tonight. Did anyone see the Hasek interview. The guy is looking like he is 80 years old.. Time to hang it up old man.

I miss the whale....

Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Renee, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.
