Way to go Habs!

srsly! I totally expected them to go out in 4

hockeytown my ass.
go pens.

Im sorry...19 straight years making the playoffs (that is a professional sport ongoing record), 1st time in ten years starting a series on the road....I can see why you hate the Wings. We are the yankees of hockey...I know, I know. But, sadly I dont think its our year.

Glad to see the Habs finally in it, and to take a game in Washington was HUGE.

Seems the 1st round will be interesting with a bunch of the lower seeded teams taking the 1st game.

God, I love Hockey playoffs!!!

Was lucky enough to score some tickets to that game. Piss poor start for the caps - but it made for a good game in the end

Sharks score the ONLY goal of the game and still lose. Disappointed to say the least. Hoping they tie it up on Tuesday.

O'Reilly tipped the puck with his stick.
Even the Shark's Goalie said so.

Go AVS!

BC.

A little off topic:
I was in Canada in December/January & scored tickets to see Buffalo & Leafs play in Buffalo, 8 rows behind the goalie. It was awesome to see, never would have thought I would see a NHL game.

The Leafs had nothing & they will be lucky to see the playoffs within the next 5 years.

The thing that stuck in my mind most was the puck being fired into the glass, it's like a gun going off. And one player that stuck out most was playing for the Sabres, he would have been at least 7 feet tall, I think his name was Myers 

And a fight nearly breaking out on the way out of the stadium, some dickhead yelling out "DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE MAN!" 

And it was fricken cold.

He was credited with the goal as well.

How would a true own goal be scored?

Boy, you guys took that a little too literally. I thought people would understand my frustration. Still sucks the same.

And this is how a "true own goal" is scored:

Backstrom Scores on His Own Net!

[teddy037.2]

How would a true own goal be scored?

usually it's a D instictively kicking his foot out, or getting it on the stick to stop a centering pass, and deflecting it in past his goalie.


although, in one instance (local roller hockey) I had a F racing on a loose puck in neutral... beats the other guy to the puck...



forget which way he was going!



and shoot it past me, thinking he just scored on a breakaway.


ruined my shutout, too! stupid kid

[Dannyboy]

Backstrom...Ouch.

Quite a few years ago, in a Wings game, there was a great own goal.  I forget who they were playing but the Wings were up a goal in the last minute or so.  The other team had the goalie pulled and their center won the faceoff.  The puck went straight between the 2 D guys and all the way down the ice into the empty net.  Might have been Anaheim.
