  1. Who knew Dave Bolland would make this much of a difference. He's haunting the Sedins again.

  2. I come back from class expecting Chicago to be in the lead, and maybe even by a 2 or 3 goal margin, but wow this looks bad.

    ReplyDelete
  3. How nice of Vancouver to let Chicago do what they want....

    Embarrassing. Onto game 5.

  4. The refs are kicking 2 of the enforcers out. Pretty wise move.

  5. Justin I guess this is the first time your team and mine are playing each other since you started your blog. And we're on NFL Network to boot!

    Sadly I fear our team will be awful should we even have a season.

  15. So they'll finish out the 10 seconds then switch ends to start the 2nd.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm just laughing thinking how badly Beninati & Laughlin would have sounded trying to explain the clock issue. They would have sounded like fools.

    ReplyDelete
  17. @ Kris: Mickey Redmond would have turned it into a conspiracy theory.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Pierre McGuire might of started talking about Hollywood

    ReplyDelete
  19. @Justin So would Laughlin. It's laughable how bad they are.

    ReplyDelete
  20. What I don't get is why Versus always seems to take the CSN-CA feed of Sharks playoff games.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Did the Lakers mess up the scoreboard?

    ReplyDelete
  22. "In all respect to a Stanley Cup winning goalie, he [Niemi] looks like zamboni driver" Ray Ferraro

    ReplyDelete
  26. Clowe on the PP & this game has gotten interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Clowe scores for San Jose. 4-2 now with over half the game left to play.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I was in a hurry this evening and completely forgot to set a live blog up until it was too late and did not have time too. Boy am I regretting that now. Geez what an entertaining clusterfuck this is.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Mavericks are up 8 on the Blazers with 2:32 left. Tune into TNT if you want to hear Matt Devlin scream.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Gord Miller & Matt Devlin screaming, shocking. #sarcasm

    ReplyDelete
  34. Mavs win 101-89. So much for the Danny Crawford drama.

    ReplyDelete
  35. CLOWE AGAIN!

    "What a period!" - Randy Hahn

    ReplyDelete
  36. Clowe scores & they are not within 1. Jonathan Bernier time? 5-4 Kings.

    ReplyDelete
  37. PAVELSKLI SCORES AND IT'S 5 ALL. Cue Jonathan Bernier?

    ReplyDelete
  38. 5 all at Staples after 40. Duthie's nightmare might occur, an OT game in Cali.

    ReplyDelete
  39. "If you know anyone who turned this game off at four-nothing, call them, text them, tweet them, knock on their door." - Randy Hahn

    ReplyDelete
  40. McHugh: "Mike Keenan, you pulled more goalies than anyone in the history of the league & you applauded when Nittymaki was inserted..."

    ReplyDelete
  41. I think Aaron Ward just said "shitty hockey" to describe to Sharks before the surge on TSN.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Bobby Mac is saying Ward said "shinny hockey"

    ReplyDelete
  43. Man the Sharks are chokers.

    /Looks at score
    //What?
    ///WOOOOOOOOO

    ReplyDelete
  44. Craig McTavish had a point during the intermission. Anytime you play in LA, there will be major swings.

    ReplyDelete
  45. The sharks almost grabbed the lead with the puck sitting on the goal line

    ReplyDelete
  46. "These coaches are having a heart attack with the way this game is going" Ferraro

    ReplyDelete
  47. mccoveychron McCovey Chronicles
    I think the Sharks are playing tonight's game in Coors Field.

  48. CSN graphic on the new NBC/Versus contract: "In For The Long Haul"

    ReplyDelete
  49. "All finals in the Stanley Cup Finals will be televised by NBC." - Randy Hahn, getting some minor details wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  50. The iron unkind to Richardson & to boot, he gets laid out.

    ReplyDelete
  51. TSN just panned to a shot of Will Farrell

    ReplyDelete
  52. @tsnjamesduthie
    For those who asked, Aaron Ward said "shinny". Check your PVRS. And Dad, rewind your Betamax.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Gord Miller & Ray Ferraro sound like they are going to hit up LA Live tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  54. The Eagles have a January 1 home game against the Redskins. That basically ensures that Philadelphia will not be getting the NHL Winter Classic in 2012, as was rumored might happen.

    ReplyDelete
  55. There were 7 goals in the 2nd period. There have been 0 goals in the 3rd period with 1:30 remaining. Of course.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Duthie's nightmare has occurred again. An OT game in California. #HeWantsToSleep

    ReplyDelete
  57. @FriedgeHNIC
    So much for going to bed early

    ReplyDelete
  58. 4th straight Game 3 OT for the Sharks.

    ReplyDelete
  59. For all the talk about the Flyers making history last year for their comeback(s) against Boston, the Sharks are up against some pretty serious comeback history themselves in this one. Only twice prior has a team won a playoff game after trailing by 4 goals, the latest of which was 1985.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Onrait & O'Toole are cracking me up during O'Toole's SC Update.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Thank goodness I do not have class tomorrow. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  62. Keep this in mind: Sharks running 9 forwards out there, 4th line hasn't sniffed the ice since the 2nd.

    ReplyDelete
  63. SETOGUCHI ENDS IT & MOMENTUM TO THE SHARKS

    ReplyDelete
  64. SETOGUCHI WINS IT FOR THE SHARKS!

    ReplyDelete
  65. SETOGUCHI! HISTORY IN LOS ANGELES! FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 1985 MINNESOTA NORTH STARS, A TEAM HAS COMEBACK FROM A 4-GOAL DEFICIT TO WIN A PLAYOFF GAME!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I am too lazy to post a live blog, and one of the greatest playoff games ever happens. Go figure.
