The NHL PLayoffs aren't the only games in town.

Why you should give a damn about the World Championships - NHL Experts Blog... - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

Canada plays US on Tuesday 3:30 pm

Congrats to Pittsburg. The officiating was terrible. Wonder if the Pens bribed the referees to look the other way when Pitt gave high sticks? Or how 'bout the three BS penalties on one NYR, all in one period. Don't tell me this is what Pitts has to do to win a game.

Now Pitts has to play against Philly. Wait a second, isn't Philly the team that Pitts purposely lost to, so they wouldn't have to play em?

Hey Carolyn!! Ya notice that jagr did not have a single shot in regulation? Don't know if he had one in ot or not.... I thought we had it wrapped up with a 2-0 lead but damn if they didn't come back quick.... and yeah the officials sucked

[Dragonfly]

It was a good game - just pulling your leg.

I think that Jagr might have played his last game, in the NHL. Maybe the Russian Superstar league will take him. Shenehan might be retiring.

I saw the huge outdoor screen near the Igloo. Did you catch some rays and watch the game there?
Do they ask for donation to the food bank, if you want to watch the screen?

Toronto has the Rogers Dome - use to be called the Sky Dome. They let people come in to watch broadcasted games but the fans have to bring in food donations.

I wish I could have gone downtown.... but i had to mow the lawn and get our old lawn furniture ready to sell at a charity garage sale.... So I sat in the garage, in one of the chairs, and my wife walked in one time and I was tapeing my new stick, watching the game... Found some old orange tape... for my blue stick... A Kodak moment for sure... lol Between periods I would run out and mow a bit of grass.... When the game was on... The whole neighborhood was completely silent....

[Karren]

Well its set!! The frozen four..... Dallas vs Detroit and Pittsburgh vs Philly.... One step closer to my predict of the Penguins winning Lord Stanley's cup in 7 games over Detroit!!

Dallas won over San Jose in 4 overtimes.. 8th longest game in playoff history... I went to bed at the begining of the first OT period... Glad I did too.. The Star's captn Morrow put a wicked check on a SJ player who was skating along the boards with his head down... Put him out of the game... Darius Kasperitis was great at doing that to forwards coming down into the zone... Not loking up.. Booooommmm.... Definately concussion time!!

Keek your head up and keep your stick on the ice!!

Looks like the fun begins with the Redwings taking on the Stars on Thursday and the Penns vs the evil Flyers on Friday (when I'm driving home from a business trip no doubt!! Grrrrr)

[Karren]

Frozen Moment!!! Hope this shows up!! What do you think Jagr is saying to Sid, Carolyn? "Nice game.......... F#*king A*#hole". In Cezc? Lol

[Darla_G]

they do look pretty civilized in that last picture despite what looked like a very physical game. i think i have just seen Slapshot too many times and expected the line to turn into a brawl. Did you know the Hanson brothers are still making appearances ?

[Dragonfly]

Maybe Jagr is reminding Crosby to get paid prior to each game.
Kind of an interesting - Jagr was once Pitt's captain, when he was much younger.

I tried to watch the Dallas game - I saw the hit. Scott Stevens would be proud.
I'm glad that Dallas beat San Jose - I think they are the better team.
I will miss the shark tank and the arrival of the players, on to the ice.
