that shorthanded goal kopitar scored last night was phenomenal. the kings are just playing crazy good hockey in the playoffs.

The shorthanded goal last night was Uh-oh Collaiacavo coughing up another puck while being the last man back. Did it twice, but we only let one in.

The guy doesn't make a ton of mistakes, but when he does, they are fatal...

Fors, I'm not sold on LA being better yet, meaning I don't think we're out. I do think that we need to get our hands dirty and start hitting everything that moves.

Game three is pretty much the season, if they win that, then Game four will be in the same catagory. Let's see what happens in LA, I don't like our chances, but I'm not ruling them out just yet.

I know, the move was amazing, but he should have never had the puck because they guy who passed it to him should have never taken Collaiacavo's pass away.

Its not the first time, Carlo is averaging about 1 of these a game lately, and he needs a kick in the ass.

Anyone here watching Game 3 of NYR/Wash?  Headed to 3OT and these poor bastards look like they're pulling sleds when they skate.  There are some tired legs in those locker rooms.

can you imagine playing 100-plus minutes of playoff hockey?

Curious how they keep the ice fresh over 100 minutes of hockey.. the zamboni sprays water on the ice which takes little time to freeze, making the ice clean again, but it doesn't really add to the ice level I didn't think. Wouldn't you think 100 minutes of people skating and digging into it cause issues?

they apparently 're-condition' the ice at the first stoppage after the 10-minute mark of each ot period, but i don't know what that consists of because every time they were supposedly working on the ice last night, versus showed tortarella bitching about play being stopped.

All that means is they bring a bunch of kids (or in some places attractive women) out to clear the ice shavings that are lying on top of the ice.

So who had LA/Pho in the Western Conference finals?  So much for the Central Division dominance.

An idiot and a typewriter is a dangerous combination.

I noticed that but quickly decided it was tongue-in-cheek.

I considered that possibility, except the writer is from San Jose. Why would anyone bother to live inland in California? You might as well be living in Nebraska.

Fine.  I take it back.  Never liked Nebraska anyway.

Nice city, though.

Compared to Kansas maybe.

What's the difference?

I think Associated Press mistakenly put a 2 in front of the 3 when they cited this person's age.
