sadly i started watching only minutes before those 2 goals in 40 seconds. Excellent! only to see the ending.......

***Karren*** · 04-30-2008, 08:06 PM

Ya didn't miss much!! lol

And out west..... Half way througjh the 2nd period San Jose ties it up with a short handed goal after Zubov mishandles a pass... I always like Zubov... He used to play for the Penns... Good D....

Is it me or does SJ's goalie look like a dwarf?? Sorry.... Little person!! His head barley clears the cross bar!!

Does Hatcher still play for Dallas? Darian? I knew his brother when he played for the Penns... Used to run into him at the local tropical fish store... He had a hugh collection!!

See Darla, that's the problem. If you had been watching the game from the beginning Montreal would have won. LOL

When we were kids, my brother and I use to believe that we helped win or lose a game, just by watching.

On a serious note, I think they should have let Price play goal. He was the one that got Montreal this far.

unfortunately it didn't work for me that way in the Washington series.

***Karren*** · 04-30-2008, 08:29 PM

Hahahaha.... I forgot to watch the Penguins game last night and they won anyway!!!

Montreal needs to try something...

Karren
Are you getting nervous that Pitts might play Philly for the eastern division?
Might become a self fullfiling prophesy after all.

First it was the Democratic vote and then the Eastern conference show down - how much excitement can Pennsylvania take?

***Karren*** · 05-01-2008, 05:02 AM

Nervous!! Never!! The way I figure it Pitt will have a weeks rest over the Flyers... and we loath Philly!! We may be in the same state but the only thing connecting us beside a crappy turnpike and the William Penn's namesake is a pipeline that the Govenor (exmayor of Philly, btw) built after his election to suck all the tax dollars out of western PA right into Philly!! Grrrrrrrr

Bring them on!!!

***Karren*** · 05-01-2008, 06:36 AM

Ohhhh Nooooo!!! I can't watch the game tonight! I'm going to the High Scholl to watch the musical "Annie Get Your Gun".... When I'd rather be home watching "Sidney Shoot The Puck". Hahaha

Ohh well.. Maybe if Carolyn watches the game for me it will help them win!!

Glad the Sharks took a bit out of the Stars last night... I watched that interview with Danny Briere. After the Flyers game. He looks like he's 15 years old! Lol.

On an ESPN radio talk show this morning they were talking about playoff hockey... And how after the cameras leave the ice bags come out because to a person, everyone is playing with some sort of injury!! And that's where a little R and R while the other teams beat themselves up more is a good thing for the Penguins...IMHO Yeah a layoff in the middle of the season can destroy a hot streak but this is the quest for Lord Stanley's Cup!! And he who is healthier and can score wins!!!

As my favorite Tee Shirt says.... Hockey......... Nothing else matters.......

Nothing!!

GO Penguins

***Darla_G*** · 05-01-2008, 06:44 AM

well what do you think Carolyn can Montreal repeat the performance of Washington and win two more to force a game 7?

and since you mention it Karren, PA does have a crappy Turnpike and whats up with these incredibly short entrance ramps? sometimes i swear ya need a Ferrari just to get in that line of traffic.

so does PA have a line dividing it East West between Pens & flier fans? (sort of like its version of the Mason Dixon line going through State College)

***Karren*** · 05-01-2008, 07:22 AM

Close!!! Its more like the eastern continential divide.. Ya know where ya pee on the east side and it runs into the Atlantic Ocean and on the west side... The Gulf of Mexico!! That way we keep all that s#*t coming out of Philly heading away from us out west here!! Lol

And the turnpike was built in 1950... And hasn't been updated much since then.. Ya don't want to get me going on PennDOT or the Turnpike commission now!! Yaeh our roads suck because we have adverse geology? Funny how that adverse geology stops at all the state borders......

It is so true you drive down I-83 out of York and the road is narrow and rough until you hit the Maryland Line and then its like night and day.

***Dragonfly*** · 05-01-2008, 09:35 AM

Do I think Montreal can turn it aroud? Well, they are going back to Montreal to play the next game. Fans always have a way of bringing out the best in the home team - and the worst out, in visiting teams.

Plus Philly may be a bit complacent as they don't have that much to lose - yet.

Briere is really young looking. But he is married and I think he has three little kids. Maybe he started young?

The game will be exciting tonight - I will be watching it for sure.

Wouldn't it be pathetic if NYR wanted to win the game for Avery?!

***Karren*** · 05-01-2008, 10:25 AM

I think that the Rangers are just plain pathetic.. Hahaha... Its time for them to go play some golf!
