NHL: Like #99, this thread is retired.

6 on 4 for the last minute.

Of course that means Chicago can take full length shots at the empty net.

Aegis

Way to go refs. You call the right penalty but put the wrong player in the box

stevemarks44

If Halak and Niemi meet in the finals game 1 will literally last forever.

tofu

Nice job putting the wrong guy in the box refs.

I hate hot goalies

Well it is only game one. The Sharks almost always lose game one.

OSUJumpMan

Well that was a fun game 1. I wouldn't mind this series going 7 games if every game is going to be like this one. I realize it's pretty stressful for those cheering for one of the two teams, but for those of us unbiased, this is brilliant hockey.

Fliers in 7 (because they are the actually team of destiny, not the Habs as someone earlier in this thread posited)

Did you post this because you were whining?

Cause I wasn't. And I know everyone hates me cause I root for a good hockey team, but still.

Aegis

Damn, didn't realise Montreal and Philly had such a history together. CBC has the best opening montages.

Oh Burtletoy, if getting defensive about things were an Olympic sport, you'd be a gold medalist every time.

Aegis

Philly doesn't sing the anthem?

Aegis

Gionta, you're an idiot.

tofu

That is some terrible penalty killing

Aegis

That's a penalty?

Dissociater

4-0, here comes price!

Hawkstone

Flyers making Halak look very average.

Aegis

Terrible game is terrible. They just aren't playing.

Dissociater

HAha, is the ole chant normal in Philly, or are they just taunting Montreal?

quovadis13

This is looking an awful like game 1 against the Pens

Hawkstone

Taunting.

quovadis13

Flyer fans taunting the Canadiens with their own chant. Gotta like that the fans are on the ball at least.

Hawkstone

Flyers fans are not the same breed as Eagles fans...contrary to popular belief.

Robman

The Habs have lost both first games in the series, I'm not too concerned.

In fact, IIRC, the first game vs. the Pens was a similar shit show. The Habs are one of those teams that just gets better at beating you every time you play them... you have to knock them out of the series before they cut your offense to ribbons and win by attrition.

Shit I totally missed this post

Yeah, if the Habs look sharper next game in the series I will relax quite a bit. Halak seems to need to have a fire lit under his ass for his real magic goaltending to appear.

L|ama

just one goal, please habs?

Corvus

Habs getting slaughtered.

Shockwave

*sigh* the two douchebag teams win....

Niemi is very streaky. Hopefully his OMGWTF saves peter out.

Corvus

New thread up.
