LOL. Wtf?

LOL. Wtf?

76 PIMS in the 3rd, 58 in 36 seconds.

That led to a comical situation where the Sharks had six players in a penalty box so crowded that Devin Setoguchi(notes) and Scott Nichol(notes) needed to stand. A seventh player, Niclas Wallin(notes), was in the locker room after getting a fighting major, a rouging penalty and a 10-minute misconduct.

Big game on Monday Flyers V Rags for 8th spot in the East

For those that dont like Matt Cooke, he fought rookie Evander Kane today..

And Kane knocked him the the **** out!

 

[Bradesmaen]

Wish the playoffs started now, we like playing Nashville in the first round.

Habs clinch a playoff berth with a point (at least) by going to OT v the leafs.

Likely opponent Devils first up.

Bruins V Sabres

Pens V Sens (3rd match up in 4 years in the first round)

caps V either rangers or habs

**devils may play flyers if philly wins

 

[Crosby87]

Stamkos gets 50.

It's amazing how much this kid was buried last year. IMO 50 goals on a Tampa team is far more impressive than 50 on a stacked Caps team.

Kids gonna be a beast, and that shot on the PP reminds me a lot of Brett Hull. What a rocket.

 

[catters078]

Two massive games tomorrow will have a huge bearing on each conferences playoff make up.

Rags @ flyers obviously determines who gets in.

Wings V hawks determines the 1 seed, 2 seed (if sharks win today), 5, 6 and 7 seed..

 

[catters078]

IM defintely getting up at 5 tomorrow to watch both games..

also the rocket will be determined on the last day of the season with Ovechkin (50), Stamkos (50) and Crosby (49) all in action

50 in 71 v 50 in 81 He's been good, would just like to see him score more off the PP. Become a bit of a powerplay specialist.

Steven Stamkos leads the league in power play goals with 24, six ahead of anyone else...

 

[PalaceGun]

On to my tenth view of Evander "Holyfield" Kane putting Cooke to sleep, can't get enough of that.

I wonder if Savard is well enough to have a smile...

 

[PalaceGun]

A bit of history in Boston, congratulations to the Canes...

Boston set an NHL record for the three quickest shorthanded goals and became the first team ever to score three shorthanded goals on the same penalty kill.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Montreal squeak in.

And to think the Rangers almost traded for him. Lucky Tampa, lucky.

So nice to see the Modano end of game stuff in Minneosta. Not only first of all were there a tonne of North Stars jerseys in the crowd, but to be named #1 star and come out in his old North Stars jersey, just a real nice moment.

And like the Wild callers said, its not really the gesture of a guy coming back next year.

 

[PalaceGun]

The Sedin's are going to town on the Sutters.

Highlight reel goal for Daniel to notch up the hattrick.

I'd give the Hart to Henrik, kept the club ticking over, and showed he can play without his brother, when Daniel was injured. Looks likely to get the Ross now.

 

[PalaceGun]

AO8 needs three points tomorrow to win the Ross as he wins the tiebreaker against H Sedin via scoring more goals.

Will be interesting to see if Boudreau pushes Ovechkin like Vignault did tonight with the Sedins. Henrik played 25:24 minutes against the Sutters.

 

[Herbs]

Matt Cooke getting dropped is poetry in motion.

That is all.

 

[-VC-]

Can't get enough of watching Cooke get dropped like that.

The most ridiculous passage of play. The innate sense those two have of each other's whereabouts is just out of this world. Forgetting about the goal itself, that no-look tip pass by Henrik was sick. Just not fair. God. Damn.

I've seen that sort of stuff before.

The Krakouer brothers.

Playoffs set.

East

1 Caps V 8 Habs
2 Devils V 7 Flyers
3 Sabres V 6 Bruins
4 Penguins V 5 Sens

West

1 Sharks V 8 Avs
2 hawks V 7 Preds
3 Canucks V 6 kings
4 Coyotes V 5 red wings

well done to Steve Stamkos on co-winning the rocket in his second season. co-winning with one of the greats of the modern era Crosby (and being out on of the other greats Ovechkin) is a massive effort. 24 PPG, a great season.
