A tale of 2 foreign (as in non-NA) goalies

Evgeni Nabakov sucked or Franzen just muled it up. I don't think this is a turning point in the series yet. If the Wings win tomorrow, thats the turning point - on the road, still about to be eliminated. Then just 1 game away from forcing a 7th.

The Canadiens are resilient and probably just a lot smarter than everyone assumes. In 2 rounds they have bottled up the best scorer in the league and the best player. Don't know how. Hal Gill must have kept a notebook when he was with the Pens. Also, that crowd in Montreal is just awesome.

Heres the goal of the night. I love wrap arounds:

What you missed last night while you were rocking out with some Swedes

The Bruins are up 3-0 in their series. Good for them.

The Hawks finally remembered that play-offs need intensity and freaking dustin byfuglien had a hat trick.

Watch the video to the end to see the celebration of the night:

Last night in or around Canada...

Fleury was Halak and Malkin was Malkin.

Thornton was alive and Rafalski, I think, misplayed the final 2-on-1:



What happened to taking away the pass?

I hope the Wings rip off 4 straight.

What you missed last night while you were trying to escape on a flight to Dubai

The Bruins took a commanding 2-0 lead in their series in a nutty game. Not sure how I would feel if I was a flyers fan and Carcillo is the most talked about player in a game

The Blackhawks remembered it was the play-offs and won and tied their series.

Goal of the night:

Losing

The dejected Buffalo Sabres fan in the above picture is 2Man reader Brando. Brando's Sabres were demolished by the Boston Bruins so he had to pose in front of one the creepy wooden statues that are all over Buffalo.

Brando holds a Bruins rally towel and is wearing Cam Neely underwear. The Cam Neely underwear wasn't part of the bet but no man in the 18-35 range who's worth a shit doesn't own a few pairs. Brando cheers for a losing team but he made good on the bet so good on him. We're just surprised there's no snow on that lawn.

Bruins got lucky in game 1. Game 2 is tonight. Hang onto your ass.

Weekend Wrap Up OR if the wind blows over the goalie, who gets the interference penalty

The Sharks are up 2-0 in their series against the Wings. I did not see this coming. And it can all be blamed on the one piece stick:



Here is an apt description of the Penguins power play Friday night: Touch pass, pass, touch pass, one-timer, goal.

Not so much yesterday though, when Halak was 1st round Halak and Cammallarie does this:



I think he's the only guy in the league who can hit the puck above his shoulders, but its still below the cross bar.


Chicago didn't show up and got spanked.

And welcome back Savy!:



Great celebration!
