Just call Tyler Seguin, "Mr. Clutch". He just tied the score at 1-1 in the 2nd.

Can't wait for this Boston/Washington Game 7 tonight!!!


Kinda cheering for the Caps since the B's won the cup last year (Sorry Sly and TomlinsonRB21)

HEY! None of that now!!!

 

[G $MONEY$]

Hahaha sorry Sly


Heading into Sudden Death overtime of game 7 in the playoffs. It doesn't get much better than this. This is literally were LEGENDS are born.

Im guessing Tyler Seguin for the Bs and Ovechkin for the Caps for the OT heroes tonight.


EDIT-Washington scores and Wins the series!!!

they are talking about Brad McCrimmon (RIP)on Hockey Night In Canada right now and how he helped so many young Dmen become NHL Legends.

In Boston, with Ray Bourque as a rookie, McCrimmon is paired with him and Ray Bourque becomes a legend and one of the best ever to play the game. Bourque won multiple Norris trophies and a Stanley Cup.

In Philly, McCrimmon is paired with Mark Howe. Philly goes to two Stanley Cup Finals (losing both to Oilers) and Howe is first team all star 3 straight years and him and McCrimmon are near the top of the league in +/- the years they play together, including an amazing +83 in 85/86. Howe becomes a HOfer as well.

In Calgary, McCrimmon is paired with and plays with a very young Al MacInnis. Playing with McCrimmon, Al MacInnis becomes a super-star and McCrimmon wins a Stanley Cup and MacInnis wins Stanley Cup MVP. McCrimmon while with Calgary leads league in +/- in 87/88. Macinnis also wins a Norris trophy and becomes a HOFer.

In Detroit, is paried with a rookie named Nicklas Lidstrom and plays with him for a couple years, Lidstrom becomes one of the best D-Men in the history of the game. Lidstrom wins multiple Norris Trophies, Multiple Stanley Cups and is a first ballot HOFer.

In Hartford, he is paired with another rookie named Chris Pronger. Pronger becomes a super-star as well not only winning the Norris trophy but Pronger also wins the Hart trophy one year which is virtually unheard of by a Defencemen. Pronger also wins a Stanley Cup and is a first ballot HOFer when he retires.

This is just amazing when you think about it.

Gotta love the always under-rated Knuble helping set up the Series Winner!!

Now if the Sens can win in NY...

 

[gonzagacubs]

Wow, didn't see Boston losing this series. Sorry to our Bruins fans on the board.

Let the Tim Thomas to Chicago rumors begin!

 

[chippernate]

Thanks God the Caps won!!

trade Timmy

Yeah, it may be that time. Timmy got a Cup, now had the torch off to Tuukka. I did read that Timmy's no-trade expires on June 30th, so it wouldn't surprise me to see him gone after that point. I think Tuukka and Khudobin could be a solid two-some in net for the B's.

Thomas played a heck of a series, along with the rest of the Bruins. Dont know if I have ever seen a more even series of 7 games.

I hope the Caps get New Jersey next, but I have a feeling it will be Philly

 

[G $MONEY$]

Rangers beating Ottawa 2-1 late in the 3rd period.

New Jersey beating Miami 1-0 in the first

 

[G $MONEY$]

Round 2 starts tonight!!!!


Nashville at Phoenix!!!

Who you guys got to win this series?? Should be a very low scoring affair with Mike Smith Vs. Rinne!!!

 

[robert67]

Well, tonight begins the time that will separate the men from the boys, so to speak!

An unabashed homer, I am rooting for the Predators to steal a game on the road, so it might as well be tonight!

It seems everyone is healthy and ready to roll with Gill back, and we will need him. Those Coyotes are tough!

The league would love a NY/LA Final

 

[G $MONEY$]

The league would love a NY/LA Final

yeah no doubt. Anyone know when the last time there was a NY/LA final?? Like for the big 4 North American Sports?? Im guessing the NBA maybe??

 

[G $MONEY$]

I would LOVE to see a LA/Philly final. The series goes to Overtime in game 7 in Philly. Richards to Carter and Carter scores the winner. Richards and Carter skate around Wacovia center with the Cup and rub it in to all the philly fans and Managements faces, hahahhahaha. That would be too cool!!!!

 

[pghbuccos]

tough OT loss last night for the Predators. they dominated the second half of the game but Mike Smith played out of his mind.

I think the Preds will win this series in 6.

Hey guys, i haven't figured out how to post a Youtube video up yet, so ill just have to link it. Brand new Episode of "Cabbie" called "King's Court". For the guys in the USA who don't know who "Cabbie" is, Cabbie is basically Canada's favorite Sports reporter and the guy has really good connections with the biggest stars in all the big North American Leagues.

Anyways, this episode was just shot a few days ago at Jarret Stolls house in Los Angeles. Mike Richards and Jeff Carter also showed up at Stolls house on their day off when Cabbie was there. Pretty cool episode and kinda funny too, check it out if you have time (Its about 6 minutes long)

[gt2590]

No matter your Religous beliefs, I think we can agree that Danny Briere is a Playoff God!

2-1 Orange after not getting a shot in the first 14 minutes or so...
