Excellent game to watch last night. Large spans of play with no whistles, plenty of shots, great saves and hits. Entertained enough to stay up till the end. Just got the feeling that they could play till Sunday and the Pens weren't getting another one by Rask, the guy was locked in.

I took a little extra notice last night and thought Emrick was locked in too. Him and Eddie O did a great job.

i agree about the game, awesome...but i didn't make it to the end, throwing in the towel after the first OT. have it on now, an encore presentation, waiting for the gwg.

as for the announcing, at some point my son asked me something about what emrick had said.
i told him, i didn't hear it-i pretty much tune out announcers these days, i don't need their help to know what's up.

That game was as exiting as it gets. WOW. Playoff hockey at its finest.

on a side note...
Mike Milbury is a stooge. he was chicken sh1t as a player, terrible coach and GM. Brutal hairpiece, and brutal on the ears.

After we got those bums who messed with our big race for skinny people, the cup will be Boston's reward.

whooooooooooooooooooa there bob, you might want to pull them reins back

boston is playing the best hockey i've seen out of any team in the playoffs. As much as i want ANYONE from the west to beat this team it's going to be a tall order. Claude has got them boys dialed in, and don't let 'm get a lead on you, they'll milk the sh!t out of Chicago or LA in the neutral zone.

I just think it's all relative..sure Boston's playing well, but this is the West where top to bottom the competition is so much tougher. The 7's and 8's weren't Toronto and Ottawa. LA or Chicago ain't giving up 6 goals in a game, which reflects a bit on how much competition Pitt really is.

I really believe that either Boston vs LA or Chicago could be an epic series. Boston feels like the destiny team this year. They were left for dead late against Toronto and ended up making a miraculous comeback. Brian's right, they are absolutely dial in right now. They are a solid/complete team, with many guy who can score, the Campbell injury will hurt, but they are very deep and with the way Rask is playing they will tough against anyone from the west.

Pittsburgh's D has done a horrendous job and have left Vokoun out to dry the entire series. He's done a good job since getting the nod. He had one bad game. It's been exposed cause the Pens aren't scoring 4 a game to cover for their D.

The story has been Rask, period.
He's given up 2 goals on 110 shots in over 215 minutes hockey against one of the top offensive teams in the league.
Now that's stellar.
