I'm sorry I missed the first 12 of the second. I was to meet someone who was giving me a RW sweater - sort of. It’s black and it’s from 2002, but who am I to deny? He was 30 minutes late. I KNEW I shouldn't have gone. I missed Markov's penalty & Calgary's ensuing goal. I picked it up just 2 minutes later. 3rd is yet to come.


can I just say? This game is REALLY SLOOOOW compared to the first 2 games. It feels like a November game against Florida. It means nothing. The crowd that is supposed to be SOooOOoooO great is pretty much silent during play with the exception of a few boos on Bertuzzi and the HASEK chant from the first. I'm sure it was loud after the goal, but that's to be expected. Nothing is going on. It’s kinda boring.

How I feel? The Refs kinda sucked. time after time. they called offsides and those interference calls. Damn. we should get the same refs all series. that’s shit.
The refs were kinda junky. Draper had a good game. But it didn't matter in the end. The game started SO slow. Detroit is tired - they spent all day here yesterday but I’m sure it still felt late. Calgary played a lot better. we NEEEED to win the next one. NEED to. We can't let them back in this series. FYI - Forgive the MANY MANY typos.


ELSEWHERE.

I apparently chose to disregard last night’s games, so here you go.

Monday:
Tampa Bay beat New Jersey 3 -2 to go up 2 -1
Buffalo beat the Islanders 3-2 and go up 2-1 on the series
San Jose beat Nashville who was without Rattle-off 3-1 and go up 2-1.



TONIGHT:


the Rangers DESTROYED Atlanta 7-0 with a hat trick by Nylander and NY is up 3-0 on the series.
Ottawa defeated Pittsburg 2-1 and lead that series 3-1 Staal got the only tally for the Pens
Vancouver takes a 3-1 on Dallas after winning 2-1... in regulation
Minnesota had no choice and beat Anaheim 4-1 to stay alive and avoid being swept but are still down 3 -1



Thank you and good night.



Wings outshoot Flames 30-28

Woohoo and Last night!

Anaheim is just one win away from sweeping Minnesota after holding back another late attempt to come back by the Wild. They should look into playing their end game closer to the beginning. Anaheim went up 3 games to none in a 2-1 win last night.

Speaking of 2-1 scores. Vancouver and Dallas have a hard time finishing in regulation, as 67% of thier games so far have gone into overtime (and overtime and overtime and overtime) Vancouver came out the victors last night after just over 7 minutes of overtime and now leads the series 2-1.

Pittsburgh melted down yesterday after going up 1-0 in the first minute of play to 4-1 going into the third. Sidney Crosby scored a pretty goal from his knees to make it 4-2, but that's the way it stayed. Ottawa is now leading the series 2-1.

Can i just say - I've been watching Hockey for 5 days now and i LOVE it! My kids are mad at me, but i don't mind. It's playoffs, Baby!

Great news came today by way of my new power cord. Looking forward to LIVE BLOGS!

Yay Hockey!

Update on my live blogs.

Real quicklike.

My power cord on my laptop is broken. My battery is dead as well. I have one on its way - a power cord - so basicly what this means, since i can't see the tv from my livingroom computer, i write everything down, then add it after the game. It is a bit difficult to write fast... i think i type faster than i write.. so as soon as i get that power cord, i'll live blog - live - and post at intermissions. I'm sorry if i've confused anyone... These are "live-ish" blogs... or, you know.. the equivalent of "taped live"

Bertuzzi STILL out

Read in today's Detroit Free Press:

Bertuzzi practiced Saturday, but he is still expected to be a scratch for today's game for precautionary reasons. Gee, maybe he can intimidate the Flames by scowling really hard.

Start scowling, Todd.

An update on last nights games, and series'

Pittsburgh pulled one out of their collective arses and beat Ottawa yesterday. Sidney Crosby got the game winner off the shaft of his stick. Woot! They play again.... TONIGHT? Yup. Series tied up at 1... you know, as of right now.

Rangers beat Atlanta again. This was a low scoring game, very defensive. Both of the Rangers goals came from former Red Wings. Avery & Shanahan. Rangers take a 2-0 lead in the series.

Tampa Bay beat New Jersey by scoring a goal in all three periods. New Jersey forgot there was a third period, only scoring a goal in the first two. Oops. Series tied at 1 a piece.

and the Islanders went on to beat Presidents' Trophy winning Buffalo 3-2 as well, tying that series at 1 too.... also.

UP TODAY?

Calgary at Detriot - 1 PM
Ottawa at Pittsburgh - 6 PM
Anaheim at Minnesota - 8 PM
Vancouver at Dallas - 9:30 PM

(All times EDT)

Have a great day... live blog... not so live this time. I'm sick still. I shall do my best.

Sorry i'm late...

Hi, having a bad day - or 2 days. I'm sick with a bad cold. Headaches suck & so does sneezing.

ANYWAY!

LAST NIGHT'S GAMES:

Nashville beat San Jose 5 - 2. Can you believe Cheechoo played? That knee to knee by Hartnell was scary. But he played.
San Jose ended the game with 57 penalty minutes. But not as much as the Preds and their 84 Penalty Minutes. Radulov hit Bernier from behind and has now been suspended for game 3. Jerk. I hate the Preds. Series tied at 1

Dallas shut down Vancouver 2-0. That was nice. They still looked tired from that marathon game from Wednesday. That series is tied at 1.

And Anaheim fought off the a Wild surge at the end of their game last night to win 3-2 and go up 2 game to none in the series.

CURRENT GAMES:
Ottawa just tied their game with Pittsburgh at 1 a piece. There's still 10 left in the second period. Ottawa is going on the power play.

Sean Avery has scored for the Rangers to take a 1-0 lead in their game against Atlanta. There's just under the halfway mark for that game as well.

TONIGHT?
Tampa Bay & New Jersey at 7 PM EDT
and
Islanders & Sabres at 7:30 EDT
