Setting up the post early today so I can go spend some time with my dear 91-year-old mother.
Mike Ribeiro: Phone home. Whatever she tried to teach you didn't take.
Maxim Talbot will be back in the lineup for the Penguins for Game 2.
Hey, if Pittsburgh wins topnight can we proceed directly to the Penguins-Red Wings all skills/all the time final that we want to see?
That way hockey will be over before the end of the month and we can can get out and enjoy the sunshine.
CBC is showing game 5 of the '86 final v. Calgary right now.
seriously i don't remember who took game 5..old age maybe, anyway i guess we won so many thats what matters not how many games the series went, bad reffin, injurys, ghosts or whatever...just the years eh...thankyou.
wanna wager?
I can't watch the playoffs anymore. The Habs should be there.

1. February 19th, 2008, a day which will live in sublimity.
i 'm with ya...it is painful...
Anybody see the usa finland game? Watching the Koivu bros play together is fun as well as Selanne. What about that "goal" that went through the side of the net and in. Even after video review clearly showed this, the goal still counted. What a boneheaded mistake.
I'm happy Pittsburgh won. I have to give respect to Richards, what a great player.
Briere really weak behind the Pittsburgh net there.
Neither of these teams looks as good as Detroit.
Wow Crosby. Do you need me to teach you how to raise the puck? This isn't pond hockey, raisies ARE allowed.

Some Kitchener NHL Alumini....who am i missing?? GO RANGERS
Somebodys going to grab our coach, Peter DeBoer, do the Habs have any room for this guy. He has paid his dues and will be a good one.
Why did you capitalize some names and not others?
I think Mike Richards is a team you can build a franchise around and I am hoping that Weber will be another successful Ranger alumini as a montreal Canadien. Also there is a guy playing for the rangers, Mikkel Bodker, who is in this years draft who I think is a Gainey prototype, fast, smart, skilled.
What a backhand by Crosby!
This is probably the most important 10 minutes of the Flyers season. They cannot afford to go down 2-0 in the series.
Wow, camera's all over Hatcher, however it's Downie's lazy stick and then trying to play the hit behind the net that caused that goal.
that was a hard work goal
Fourth line energy against a tired D.
Great shift by Gary Roberts! Its gonna be a great final 11 mins.
Crosby needs to shoot when he's on those 2on2's or 2on1's. That would have been a great time to shoot right between the defensmen's legs.
Thing is that Crosby's first reaction is always to pass because he is a playmaker, he is not a sniper.
Yeah, and he is good at that so I wont give him any tips on it lol.
Ruutu really suckered Biron. The series is heating up.
Philidelphia plays a very ugly game.
mike any news on the contract negotiations
Whose?
any?
There is a lot of timne left till free agency I'm sure Gainey isn't going to rush things and I'm sure the players may want a few weeks to spend with their family and friends after the season.
andrei?
Have to admire Philly's guts. Top two defencemen out ...
You know how sometimes you have players you really wished played elsewhere?
Like, the one stinker on what is otherwise a great team who stops you from completely enjoying that team
Or
The one gem of a player who you love, but whose team you hate so much it hurts you
Jeff Carter is one of those gems. I love that kid, ever since seeing him eat up the ice in the 04 and 05 WJHCs, but I really wish I didn't have to see him play with that black and orange logo on his chest.
Malkin not at morning skate today and sluggish tonight..
I wonder if he was injured by the Richards check in Game 1.
