[OT-NHL] The Annual NHL Playoffs Thread: 2003

[Broken Fang]

Another great day of hockey.

Avs WIN! Now we can take them in five games.

Two games going into the second OT period. Ottawo and NY tied at 2 and Phily and Toronto tied at 3.

 

[Nightfall]

No more. Bloody blue hell. Can't believe they lost...but oh well. Sens won too.

 

[EarthsShadow]

Wings lost agaaaaiiiinnnnnn... Wings lost agaaaaiiiinnnnnn...

na na na na na naaaaaaaa

And the Av's won, so there.

Sorry 'bout Phily Nightfall.

 

[Nightfall]

Oi. Not a good night for the Wings. Oh well. But thanks Earth. I just hope the Flyers can come back in game 4. They played well for spurts. Just need to adjust.

 

[Tom Cashel]

Wow...Toronto and Ottawa win! If Vancouver had pulled it out, I would have burst into an impromtu rendition of "Oh Canada."

Hey...how 'bout those Ducks? Hmm...Red Wings making a comeback from a three-game deficit...? It's only been done twice in NHL history...

Minnesota Wild. Pfft. You Avs fans need to stop gloating and realize that you pulled an easy first round. The Wild don't know how to win in the playoffs! What were they thinking?

Aww, jeez...how about that Roenick chop to Mogilny's chin??? Anybody know if he's okay? He could barely walk when they dragged him off the ice...

DUCKS! DUCKS! DUCKS! DUCKS!

That is all I have to say! Now if the Stars can kick it back into gear and tie it up at 2 games each. Of course if the Stars do win that means the Ducks will get them in round two. I won't know who to route for! Oh, wait yes I do! DUCKS! DUCKS! DUCKS!

Go Sens!!!

Well, I'm glad the Sens won in double-overtime, but
they have to play better than they did last night.

Should be fun to see what the top 4 Islanders
defencemen have left in their tank after how much
they played last night.

Go Sens!!!

I just had to open my mouth

Aww, jeez...how about that Roenick chop to Mogilny's chin??? Anybody know if he's okay? He could barely walk when they dragged him off the ice...

The recap at ESPN said he got stitches but nothing more. Is there a rule about players falling for high sticking incidents similar to the follow through rule? If not I can't for the life of me understand why nothing was called. That was at least a double minor so it can't be a case of them ignoring since Mogilny trip JR, and I don't see how all four officials could have missed it.

Unfortunately, yesterday was not a good day for us Canuck fans, and even worse for the Wings (though at least both were good games, officiating aside).

It's funny, but watch a replay and you'll see a zebra on the right hand side of your screen behind Roenick and Mogilny. His body was facing them, but I could not see where his head was pointed. I'm glad Mogilny only needed stitches, he looked really shook up after that. I'm not sure which was worse on that high stick: The initial hard hit from the shaft, or being raked under the chin by the blade when it came on the follow through. Having said that:

What on earth is the deal? The top seeds are blowing, except for one or two. Dallas is 1-2, Detroit is 0-3... The one low seed that I want to do well is sucking. Of course they are playing New Jersey, who I also happen to like, but still...
