3:32 - Welcome to the 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs



Tonight, i will post my first "live blog." And by "Will" i mean "Will attempt"
I broked the power cord to my laptop yesterday. I have a full battery and the power is off right now, but still. It may not last through the entire game. Figures, right? I might find a way past it though. Sitting caddywompus at my desk with my wireless keyboard might work.
I figured for any game that does not involve wings, i'll still write. Just not live. Last night i wrote it on paper - long story - I'll write it here exactly like it is down on paper.


6 OTTAWA v PITTSBURGH 3
2 ANAHEIM v MINNESOTA 1
5 SAN JOSE v NASHVILLE 4
4 DALLAS v VANCOUVER 5

Watched: Ottawa V Pittsburgh
WTF happend to Pittsburgh? People used to say that the wings were "to old" but is it possible for a team to be too young? There are 3 teenagers on that team. Granted, thankfully, one of them was the regular season scoring leader, and did finally score in the last minute of the game. Staal scored too, becoming the 5th youngest player to score in the playoffs.
Ottawa showed up with some fire under them. They skated, passed and scored. I missed the non-goal by Crosby and missed the replays as well. (Damn kids) So i'll stick with my "It shoulda been a goal" theory and say that i'm sure that had it not been called back, the game would have been a lot closer. Poor young Fleury looked scared and played scared. He calmed down after the second goal, but after the Crosby's goal was called back, it seemed to knock any wind that might have been in Pittsburgh's sails and Fleury. When they finally did start scoring, it was much to late.
Need to: Someone should have a talk with Fleury. Calm him down. Get his confidence up. They can go home with the series tied and use that momentum to win in the Igloo. Series? Ottawa 1-0


It's 2:15 Am and i'm still watching the Dallas/Vancouver game. We're about to start the 3rd period of overtime. Dallas has like 52 shots on net in the first 5 periods of this game. Detroit had 58 shots on net in 65 minutes last week. (we lost in a SO) Dallas is shooting like a MF, but like detroit, they aren't good quality shots. Vancouver has a short bench. Burros & Cook are out. They look tired. And those fans. Jesus, stop effing booing. I love that the refs are letting them play it out, but if those fans had their say, the Canucks would have a power play every two minutes... Joel Lundqvist shot the puck into the crossbar with 20 secons left in OT2, but alas --
I'll keep you posted...


Anaheim V Minnesota.
I really don't have anything to say about this game. It looks like it was a helluva boring game. Score 2-1 Anaheim. Let's Go Wild! Series? Series? Anaheim 1-0

Nashville V San Jose.
Also did not watch this game, but it looked exciting. Nashville tied it up at 4 with under a minute left in the game. The game went into a second OT when Rissmiller scored a pretty goal to win it. Hartnall effed up Cheechoo's knee - apparently purposely - wand was kicked out of the game. Tootoo was his normal dickhead self as well, getting boarding & roughing calls. Series? San Jose 1-0

Daniel from Henrik? Henrik from Daniel? I dont' effin know. It's 3:32 AM and there was less than 2 left in the FOURTH OT. Mama's tired. Shots - Dallas - 76, Vancouver - 56. That's how it works. Goodnight. Series? Vancouver 1-0
