So how boring is the Pens Habs to watch .... boring enough that NBC here in the States switched over to the Preds game ..... which they're also showing on the NHL Channel

I was coming here to say this is as bad as the days we had to watch playoff games on the "Outdoor Life Network," but to be honest I think we were saved from watching it.

Defensive games are interesting... if you know what you're watching. Majority wanna see a run and gun game that ends 7-5. I prefer tight games with great defence and goaltending personally.

Trap hockey on full display by the habs.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Trap hockey on full display by the habs.
Agree, wait for the Penguins to make a mistake.
Quoted from TheLaw:I know what I'm watching and neither of these teams are playing great anything other than goaltending.
yeah agree.... Not sure I would call it great goaltending. Not that either is playing bad just that, other then a few shots each, there's been nothing spectacular. Most shots are coming from 20' out.
But hey ..... we got hockey back! 
What is Pierre McGuire gonna do now that he doesn't have Crosby to fellate for the rest of the playoffs?
Quoted from beergut666:What is Pierre McGuire gonna do now that he doesn't have Crosby to fellate for the rest of the playoffs?
Don't fret he'll be sucking up to someone else!
CONGRATS to the Habs!
and now lets hope the Pens get that #1 pick
Quoted from beergut666:What is Pierre McGuire gonna do now that he doesn't have Crosby to fellate for the rest of the playoffs?
He'll just move onto someone else. He used to get hard on's for Dion Phaneuf. Lol
Dubas and Bernie should be fired. It's not Keefe he's a good young coach, a players coach and he's learning the NHL ropes. I personally would re hire Dallas Eakins as assistant coach . That would fix the Leafs.
Quoted from TheLaw:Better question is whom will Millburry hate on?
Mad Mike! He's nuts
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:We have a 12.5% chance.....so we got that going for us. Which is nice.

My brother texted me and said "Well we had less than a 12.5% percent chance of winning the cup, so this is an improvement."
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Oilers 50/50 total so far. Still 3 hours to go...[quoted image]
Put me in for 20$ I’ll PayPal ya!

Can't. The site is down.
It's been a clusterfuck all day. News outlets have been reporting on it all day.

Guess I did not miss much, at work and listened to the last 10 mins of game. Only 22 shots WTF, Jar was out of position on that 3rd period goal but not blaming him at all.
Bring on Montreal!!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:A depressed oiler fan after last night's game.

It looks like Rogers Place is downtown. What's the deal with all of the empty lots near the arena? The pre-game outdoor shots seemed to be from outside the downtown area and all of the nice buildings are seen in the background, but the closest areas look pretty barren. It can't all be arena-related parking.
Quoted from poppapin:Flyer's dominated Tampa Bay last night!! Bring on Montreal!!
Flyers playing very well. Wont surprise me if they sweep the Habs.
Tampa without Hedman = playoff end

Don't forget Stamkos out too
Quoted from poppapin:Don't forget Stamkos out too
yeah Tampa is a strong team but without those two ...

As a Toronto raised person, empty space around a stadium is weird to me.
If you look at Google maps downtown there is no "arena parking" for any of the stadiums.
Yes, there are parking lots nearby, but there is such a dense amount of 'stuff' that any baron space is just awkward for me to see.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I gave the Leafs too much credit. Shame on me.
The played like garbage. No energy for the last 20 minutes.
Quoted from luch:they need 4 new defense and a new starter in net
Andersen is not the issue with the Leafs it's the contracts Dubas and Bernie approved.
We're fuxked. Mariner and Nylander looked like flies.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I gave the Leafs too much credit. Shame on me.
Shame on me too. Burke was right all along...bring him back
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Shame on me too.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Burke was right all along. Bring him back
They lack 'Truculence'?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Columbus and Tampa going to quadruple overtime!
I remember watching the 4OT Pens/Caps game in 96...I had a class the next morning and it killed me.
I was at the 3OT Pens/Wings game in 08. That sucked casue I kept wanting to get 1 more beer but could never pull the trigger.

Yes me too had a High School test in the 96 one and my father going nuts as I wanted to watch the game and he wanted me to study as senior year big test, same thing when PENS played flyers in 5OT in 2000 but was studying for college test.
