We flat out lost that hockey game.

Gotta recover for the next one, or else this series is over.

They didn’t win that game, we lost it. Again, plain and simple.

That period was more like what I expected. Rangers played a lot better. Unfortunately, so did the Pengos.

3-goal leads are notoriously tricky to maintain early in the game. At least the Rangers kept their composure…

We made it though the period. Lets hope we bring the fire in the 3rd.

I would’ve called a TO, baby!

At least we’ve got a PP coming up, we need to silence the crowd here.

Hmm, yeah, good point. I mean it was SO close either way. We’ll take the goal though haha.

There is no way that Orr should fight Laraque..I don’t care what BGL says to goad Orr into it, but you can’t afford a change in momentum like PIT would get if BGL wins.

Yes, I know the shoulder doesn’t matter, but — since it’s so far from the net — that’s the only reference point in this situation to figure out what 4 feet is.

From the replay, it looked like the stick started above his shoulders, but then quickly came downward, and made contact below the shoulders.

YES!!!! Oh MAN!!!

Adam, doesn’t matter about shoulders, it’s whether or not the stick was above the crossbar. Shoulders is when you knock a puck out of the air like when it’s popped up — stick above the shoulder.

Whatever, big lead for us now.

We got a call, I don’t know if that was a legit.

scummy — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 00:08:14 +0000

YES!!!

WOW. 2-0!!

The stick was below Drury’s shoulders when it hit the puck. I think this is a goal. Kovalev had a very similar goal last night, though he was closer to the net.

Hmm, Drury’s stick looked a bit high..don’t think it’ll count
