Game 7: Montreal @ Pittsburgh 7:00 (Versus - Mike Emrick and Darren Eliot, SR: Charissa Thompson) (CBC - Bob Cole and Garry Galley, ItG: Glenn Healey, SR: Elliotte Friedman)
Game 6: Boston @ Philadelphia 8:00 (Versus) (TSN - Gord Miller, ItG: Pierre McGuire)
Just a little FYI, I was hoping to get my first World Cup City Preview post up before this game, but due to my due diligence (i.e. it is taking longer for me to write than I thought it would), it will be up sometime later tonight after the hockey games.
MOORE! 2-0 MONTREAL!
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHIT!
Here we go in Philly......I'm anxious and nervous.
ReplyDelete4-0 Habs. Simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteOH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete1-0 FLYERS!!!! MIKE RICHARDS!!!!!
Kunitz gets a goal fot the Pens. It's now 4-1 Montreal.
ReplyDeleteJay-Z & Eminem just did an interview (if you call it that) in the booth at the Tigers game (after doing one on ESPN).
@ RJBO: Wow, do I really want to know what the point of that interview was?
ReplyDeleteIt was some concert announcement, JFein.
ReplyDeleteSTAAL! It ain't over yet...
Jay-Z and Eminem. A concert I would like to avoid.
ReplyDeleteThat was a meh call on Gorges at the end of the 2nd. More than a full minute of 4-on-3 for the Pens.
ReplyDelete@ JC: Me too.
ReplyDeletePer Bill Patrick: No team has ever recovered from a 4-0 deficit to win a Game 7.
ReplyDeleteWhat a time for Versus' signal to start acting up.
/thank God for CBC
//Bob Cole? Well, it's not all good
The Igloo is 20 minutes from closing if the Pens can't come back from the 2-goal defecit.
ReplyDeleteJaroslav Halak is amazing. End of story.
ReplyDelete@ JC: The first Penguins game at the Igloo was a loss to Montreal.
ReplyDeleteMake of that what you will....
We are putting together a search party to seek out the whereabouts of Cyndy Crosby. Please sign up at the local lodge.
ReplyDeleteRumors are that the first game at the Icebox (my nickname for the new arena) will be against Montreal.
ReplyDeleteAnd Marc-Andre Fleury was pulled.
ReplyDeleteWeather delay in COl for Phils-Rox BTW. If it's posgtponed, we may have an 85th "home game" for the Phils.
ReplyDeleteGIONTA! 5-2 Canadiens!
ReplyDeleteET UN BUUUUUUUUT!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very tenuous 3-goal lead against Sidney and the Pens.
ReplyDelete/Bob Cole'd
As I typed that:
Cole (as a replay of the Gionta goal sends the game to a break): "Happy guy, I guess...."
Flyers need to score again. They are not getting a shutout again and the Bruins are getting lots of pressure now.
ReplyDeletePittsburgh with the empty net...
ReplyDeleteJoba strikes out Maggs to end the 8th and he had to make sure he out-douched Jose Valverde walking off the mound.
ReplyDeleteBRIERE WITH A PP GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2-0 FLYERS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA shitload of penalties on both sides preceded that goal.
After Subban takes a shot at the empty net:
ReplyDeleteGalley: "They're up by a field goal. Why not?"
Cole: "This game ain't over yet."
5-2 CANADIENS! WOW!
ReplyDelete3rd Period underway in Philly.
ReplyDeleteLe Igloo is closed.
ReplyDeleteBTW, second game of PHI-COL rained out. No makeup date, but if they can't agree to a date in COL, it could be played in Philly. Stay tuned.
What a save by Leighton!
ReplyDeleteVersus is using the Philly feed for the end of this game.
ReplyDeleteThose were some great saves by Leighton, by the way.
ReplyDeleteChecked the MLB schedule online, and September 2 would likely be the makeup date in COL for tonight's rainout. It would have to be a day game as the Phils are in LA the day before.
ReplyDeleteWhy did the Tigers call up Alfredo Figaro?
ReplyDelete/turning a 2-0 deficit into an 8-0 one
LEIGHTON HOLY CRAP!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable.
Leighton channeling his inner Halak again.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Chicago-San Jose Sunday @ 3 PM on NBC (except in Cleveland, where it will be JIP after Indians-Orioles game)
ReplyDeleteA PENALTY SHOT????
ReplyDeleteROBBED!
ReplyDeletePenalty shot for Leino, but a great save by Tuukka Rask.
ReplyDeleteAt least his was on net, unlike Giroux's earlier in the series.
An APB has been issued for the missing Boston Bruins offense.
ReplyDeleteFleyrs lead 2-0 with less than 2 minutes left.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible.
My oh my Leighton!
ReplyDeleteLucic! 2-1 Flyers
ReplyDeleteCancel the APB!
ReplyDelete2-1.....
ReplyDeleteAnd there will be a tomorrow. More important, a Friday Game 7.
ReplyDeleteWE'VE GOT A GAME SEVEN!
ReplyDeleteThis, my friends, is un-fucking real.

ReplyDelete6th time ever that a team has been down 3-0 in a Stanley Cup playoffs series and came all the way back to force a Game 7.
ReplyDeleteBruins trying their best to do the reverse '04 Red Sox.
ReplyDeleteThe last team in the NHL to even comeback and force a Game 7 after being down 3-0 was the 1975 Islanders.
ReplyDeleteSuffice to say, history was made tonight.
