Will Dallas win one game, just for pride?
REALLY hard to think about hockey today in Montreal. It's hot, temperature in the mid-20s. All the beautiful people are out preening downtown. You don't see many Canadiens' car flags.

Just for laughs: In the country where someone will win the Stanley Cup, this guy is regarded as a serious political commentator.

Vancouver front office gets a good man:
Scott Mellaby – very smart guy. I hoped CBC would hire him as their primary analyst, but they're determined to turn P.J. Stock into the next Don Cherry.
Anybody else having problems loading up the HIO web page? The last few days have been a real pain in the... neck.

I've been having certificate issues for the past month now on both IE6 and IE7 (I konw, I know... microsoft sucks but I am stuck with it)
The secret to Plekanec's speed (from Canadiens.com):
"with Alex and Andrei my wings"
It's obvious now. The only way someone could have flown up and down the ice that fast was if he had wings!
Ex nihilo nihil fit
Even though we are all Montreal fans you have to admit that was a highly entertaining game. Great effort by Turco.
Both teams created lots of action and chaos in front of their opponent's net. Lesson to be learned by our Habs for next year's playoffs.

What does being a fan of Montreal have to do with it? A fan of any team in this league knows how good of a game that was. Too bad the other 3 weren't like this.
larry - Agreed. In fact, since the first round of the playoffs, there have been quite a few games that really lack the playoff intensity and excitement that you would expect at this time of year. Some of the refereeing has been really sub par as well. The call on Holmstrom serves as an example from last night.

Great camera on that final frenzy.
Off topic:
Can someone tell me if it's normal that, on a TSN game-analysis feature, the clips from the game are from CBC?
Ex nihilo nihil fit
Dallas showed up tonight eh?
Morrow doesn't look nearly as sleep deprived as a father of new twins should ;-) is he pulling a Biron and sleeping in the basement?
That should do it. Morrow deserved a goal.
Series comeback?
Doubt it.
It's touching to witness your blog-bonding, larry and Mike's. :)
GO DALLAS!
Ex nihilo nihil fit
Great recovery by Maltby.
The Original 24 Cups
This is great hockey. Skill level way above the Eastern final.
What domination by Detroit. I love how they move the puck around.
We have a game now!
Dallas just might win this one.
That was quick.
Datsyuk: sixth-round draft choice
When does Mikko Koivu's contract expire?
He's signed for the next three years.
The Original 24 Cups
Shades of game 5, Dallas vs San Jose coming up in the third period. The Stars will probably need one more if they want to win.
The Original 24 Cups
Those late period goals are always a killer. Tough break for Detroit.
Finally.
Lidstrom wasn't great on that.
Steve Ott: offensive zone penalty in a 0-0 game. Brilliant
The crowd boo's when Hagmen tripped on his own feet...
I'm not sure who Toby Peterson is but he's playing a half decent game. Good little skater.
The Original 24 Cups
Call this boring hockey?
Please.
This is the best period of the series!
OK, so O'Reilly is a nutcase, but you've got to admit his improvised version was better.
I can't believe I just backed that nutcase up, but there it is.
Wow what an aweful call. Wings got robbed.
