  4. "It's almost like Custer's Last Stand with all those shots fired at him." - Daryl Reaugh on the end of Marc-Andre Fleury's warm-ups.

    BILL GUERIN SCORES!!!! 1-0 PENGUINS!

  5. "I guess he likes it better when Sidney sets him up than win Sidney cuts him open." - Daryl Reaugh on the fact that Crosby got an assist on the Guerin goal and he was the one who once cut Guerin's abdomen open with his skate.

  6. "It's a game of interchangable parts." - Daryl Reaugh

    Oh.....my....

  7. Another Caps penalty and the Pens will have a 5-on-3 for a minute.

    "This got medieval right here." - Daryl Reaugh describing the penalty on the replay.

    Reaugh has a lot of weird sayings, but I like him and his insight. Him and Doc make a great pairing.

    And now there's a penalty on Crosby. What a shame....

    ReplyDelete

  13. CBC: WE WANT A GAME 7!


    Well tonight is the final night of the Canucks' season.

    We'll lose 3-0 and try and play for a 1-0 road win like Vigneault has done twice now.

    ReplyDelete
  14. "Hal Gill's stick is not a very good one, now is it?" - Doc Emrick after Gill's stick shattered on a slap shot into the zone.

    ReplyDelete
  15. SSR: Are you swallowing some pride and watching the Caps-Pens game on Versus or are you not watching it at all?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  18. Having Doc Emrick on PbP makes it so much easier (just think, you could be living in Washington D.C. and be listenint to Joe Beninati right now).

    GO CAPS!

    b). The Penguins beat my Flyers!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wait...by calling this the most-anticipated re-match in WEC history, aren't you implying that the WEC is actually anticipated???

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love the WEC. It's like a 2nd rate UFC but they have some top notch fighters.

    I know you're joking, but in the context of WEC, it is an anticipated rematch.

    ReplyDelete
  21. EATON SCORES ON THE POWER PLAY!!!! PENS HAVE TIED IT AT 2!!

  29. The goal that was originally credited as deflecting off of Leich never deflected off of Leich. The goal has been awarded to the man who took the initial shot, Alexander Semin.

    ReplyDelete
  30. "Crosby walked out of the corner almost unmolested." - Daryl Reaugh

    How exactly is one "almost unmolested?" Oh, and Ray Bentley likes Razor's word choice...

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh! VarLAMov had to catch that one after it caremed off the glass. That could have been a real opportunity for the Pens to tie that game if he had mishandled it...

  51. DANIEL SEDIN GETS IT RIGHT BACK FOR VANCOUVER!!!!! CANUCKS ARE BACK WITHIN 1!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  53. SHANE O'BRIEN DID SOMETHING RIGHT!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. SHANE O'BRIEN LIFTS ONE UP PAST THE BULIN WALL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'RE TIED AT 3!!!!!!!!

    You were saying at 10:22....;-)

    ReplyDelete
  55. "Luongo was a sneaky-peeker there." - Ed Olczyk with a WTF comment.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Canucks and Blackhawks are tied at 3 after 2 from the United Center.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Uh oh. The 3rd period. Watch Chicago rattle in 3 goals.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  64. SCORE!!!!! BURISH!!!! AND JUST LIKE THAT WE ARE TIED AT 4 IN CHI-TOWN!!

    14 minutes to go in regulation. This has also been a really good game.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Canucks are going on the power play after what may have been the king of all cheap and unneccessary penalites. And I'm not talking about the call by the refs.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Was that one girl in the Fanarchy commercial a sports "panelist" or a porno site stripper?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Isn't this supposed to be Vancouver's power play?

    /St. Louis Blues'd.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  76. Well then....that was certainly a fun game. 7-5 is the final from the United Center and the Blackhaws advance to the Western Conference Finals and are the first team in the NHL Final Four!

    If Detroit wins tomorrow (or Thursday), a Chicago-Detroit series would make for one heck of a series.

    ReplyDelete
  77. &%&#!!! Season over.

    Alain Vigneault = Andy Reid (now 0-3 in 2nd round series)

    Shane O'Brien = The Minors

    An Opponent's Open Net = The Canucks' kryptonite.



    Oh well, as long as the Red Wings don't win it.
