NHL Playoffs 2006: Round II

[Lord Zardoz]

Surprising game...

Very surprising game, went from 4-0 Edmonton shutout to very tight game in the last 10 minutes. Still, the right outcome.

Hopefully Edmonton wont scare the hell out of me like that for game 4.

That game was scary as all hell. There was a bunch of us watching it in the cafeteria at work. You could feel the tension. Good result though!



GO OILERS!!!

I'm happy for the Edmonton fans.

On the other hand, the trapping style of play they're using makes me weep. What good is it to win a Stanley Cup if one loses their hockey soul in the process? Edmonton used to be an incredibly entertaining team to watch, and their games with the Canucks were ones I made a point of watching. Now... it seems like the stifling, maddeningly boring Minnesota Wild/New Jersey Devils style is the only way to win.

And that's the death of the game for me.

GO OILERS!!!

That 3rd period was truly frightening. I was on edge from the time the Ducks scored their 2nd goal to the time Pisani scored Edmonton's 5th goal. I was a little less tense after that, but when that 4th Anaheim goal went in I was completely shocked and agast.

I was sure the Ducks were going to score again, but the boys hung in there and won the game. They're going to have to play MUCH BETTER overall in game four if they hope to wrap up the series.

The most important thing is... I still believe in them. Roloson will bounce back and the rest of team will learn from this game for game four.

Go Oilers Go!

So there I am, watching the Oilers-Ducks game (what- no Exxon Valdes jokes?) and I make a crack about the Oilers bagging their limit (it was 4-0)...and then the game gets nutty!

I mean- 8 goals in one period? When Patric Roy dies, he'll spin in his grave over that!

There's been a lot of good hockey in the playoffs. I must admit my guilty pleasure has been the AHL. I live very near the Hershey Bears and they've been playing very good hockey. That and it's a 45 min drive and club seats (I sat 6 rows up from the penality box) only cost me $30 a seat.

I hope my Penguins do better next year. I'll be planning a trip out there to see them once with my son. Yeah... he plays hockey so I'll get a lot of JV Hockey in too. ;-)

*shrug* I saw no evidence of that with a score of 5-4, 9 goals in a game, complete with end-to-end play.

Errr you mean the 2 minutes that they were up by 4-0? Because other than that (and the Ducks made them pay for trying such a tactic - 3 goals in as many minutes!) you weren't watching the same game as I.

 

[MulhorandSage]

I'm glad that the 3rd game opened up in the last period.

But obviously, you weren't watching the same games 1 and 2 (or more accurately, the preceding 8 periods) as I.

This page needs one more post to move to a 3rd page and be readable. So here ya go.

Oh, and I'm still looking forward to the draft. GO ENTRY DRAFT!
