All-Purpose Hockey Thread II

Best line I've heard thus far today: "If you hit one of the Sedin's in the corner, does his twin automaticall fall down?"

 

OK, that's funny. And I'm jealous of you both for being at the game.

 

Just for my pal Sportschick:

Rangers 3, Flyers 1, final from the Wacovia Center.

Rangers allowed a season low 16 shots.

That is all.

 

You know, it's bad enough that they suck giant donkey balls this year. I don't need you rubbing it in. :'''''''(

 

They're also known as the "Sedin Sisters".

 

Nice piece on Ted Nolan and his son Jordan who plays for the Windsor Spitfires.

Saw Ted Sunday when the Spitfires came to town to kick Brampton's ass. Jordan's s a pretty good hockey player. Big, strong, good skater.

Pens opening up a can on the Flyers tonight. 5-2 in the second. Crosby's got a goal and three helpers to take over the league scoring lead.

 

Crosby's goal was great. Right from the blue line in, he was tough. I just love watching the Pens.

 

Flyers switch goalies. Pens immediately score a goal on Martin Houle, making his NHL debut. Lange thinks it must be the quickest goal scored on a goaltender in history, in terms of ice time. Oh, yeah, and another point for Crosby. Houle then immediately pulled, apparently.

Edit: Announcers confused. Goal wasn't as quick on Houle as they thought. Was craziness because they put him in, then tried to pull him (but couldn't because of an icing), so they sent him back in. That's when he got scored on ... and summarily yanked.

 

The TSN guys - especially the despicable Maguire - are doing a big-time baglick on Crosby. Maguire will need to wipe his chin in his rinkside seat at the end of this one.

 

Sid is having a terrific game, though ... five points and counting.

I can't remember the last time I've seen each team's starting goalie leave the game and come back in.

 

I understand that. Butt he's not the first and he won't be the last to have a good game against the Flyers.
