Quarterfinals: Day Five

#1 Washington Capitals / New York Rangers


Capitals still lead series 2-1 after a 3-2 win by the Rangers


By the power of the mustache.


That's why the Rangers won.

We heard Dubinsky yelling, "THAT'S FOR CALLAHAN!!!" after he scored the winning goal with less than two minutes left in the game.

Alex Ovechkin scored and we're pretty sure he burst a blood vessel celebrating.

That joke just doesn't get old to us.

#4 Anaheim Ducks / #5 Nashville Predators


Predators lead series 2-1 after an exciting 4-3 game in Smashville


Mike Fisher scored the winner.


But that isn't the story of this game. Teemu Selanne had two goals and a dominating performance but the Ducks still lost.

Apparently after the game he flipped shit over the loss and just ripped into his team's lackluster performance.

That's what happens when Shea Weber is up your asshole the whole game.

Hehe.

#1 Vancouver Canucks / #8 Chicago Blackhawks


Canucks lead series 3-0 after a 3-2 win in the Windy City


Hawks took the lead for the first time in this series but couldn't do much else with the power plays handed to them by the Canucks taking stupid penalties.


Can't say that we're surprised about this at all.

The Canucks are just #Winning all over the ice. Although the only reason the Canucks won was Roberto Luongo playing lights out.

Must be easy when your gear is three times larger than your body ala Martin Brodeur and there isn't Dustin Byfuglien in your face.

Sorry, that was unnecessarily mean.

We feel a little better though. Hopefully this comes to a merciful end soon.

Yeah and it must be easy when you're a Luong-overrated dork, and when your teammates pretty much block everything that comes your way.

And it must be easy when RAFFI FUCKING TORRES DELIBERATELY ATTACKS BRENT SEABROOK AND GETS A SWAT ON THE WRIST.

Poor Coach Q. He's trying to stretch food stamps way too far, at this point...

As for Anaheim/Nashville, yippee yay and but just FYI - I'm pretty sure that is nowhere NEAR what happens when Shea Weber is up your asshole the whole game, but... I get your point! I have to give serious props to the Preds fans. So enthusiastic and it seems like they actually understand what's going on and everything. Unlike Sharks fans, who boo when their team isn't winning and take off when there's practically a period left of playtime.

And here's to the Rangers for doing their utmost to make the 'Tools sweat and turn some tricks out there on the street goddammit. Something tells me that even if they wear sexier clothes, it's gonna be a long haul for the 'Tools...

So I went to last night's Hawks game...and about halfway through the second period I started getting that numb feeling. It just IS. NOT. GOING. TO. HAPPEN. and this is someone who believes in Miracles (with Al Michaels intonation, no less). That Seabrook hit--the man is a brick fucking wall warrior to come back in the third. The hair musta shielded his tiny brain. Word is he's feeling it today in his body but his head's okay. Go figure. Still, as much as it's WRONG that there isn't any action on Torres, as much as Q swears we could've scored 4 times on that power play, the fact remains....

No fire. No heart. The UC was louder than I've heard it in I-don't-know-when and still, nada. It's a wrap, kids. Sad but true. The convention should be interesting to say the least.

But hey, I got a rally towel!! WOOO!


GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should add--the only way the Hawks can redeem this series is to have a 60 minute donnybrook tomorrow. Fists of fury, brass knuckles and all. That means you too, Kaner. Have your ovaltine and your Flintstones chewables.

@Jennifer - So jealous that you got to attend the game in person. I know how you feel when you get that sense that the stars just are not aligning the way you would prefer. Maybe Spock will think of something.

Meant to add earlier that I was even more upset at the 'Hawks trainers for not forcing Seabs to go to the dressing room immediately after the hit (like they were supposed to) and then to strongly encourage (read: force) him to sit out the rest of the game as a precaution. He's still not out of the woods. And if he gets hit again next game it could be catastrophic.

People just don't get it. I'm incredulous. They just DON'T GET IT. He's not supposed to get it because he's just been hit, his adrenaline is pumping, he's in shock and of course he doesn't want to sit out the rest of the game. But c'mon? The trainers? Sigh.

Daaaammn, The Seabs must have the second hardest head in the world.
