Goodness, just saw the Pitts-Philly score.

Even if you put a team of All Time greats, all in their primes. You should never have a series with this many goals in it.
Crazy stuff.

[Mr Coffee]

I'm guessing Rinaldo will wind up with a $2500 fine.

New Jersey Devils G Martin Brodeur has rewritten the history books again.

Brodeur recorded his 24th NHL playoff shutout as the Devils even their series with the Florida Panthers 2-2 with a 4-0 romp in Game 4.

Brodeur surpassed Patrick Roy as the leader in NHL playoff shutouts.

Travis Zajac added a goal and assist with Zach Parise also scoring a goal and delivering five hits.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Another 2-2 series in D.C. as the Washington Capitals won Game 4 over the Boston Bruins 2-1.

Alexander Semin scored the game-winning goal on the power play at 18:43 second period.

Caps G Braden Holtby had 44 saves on 45 Boston SOG.

[montrealer]

Congrats to to the Caps..........

[BroadwayBomber55]

Congrats to to the Caps..........

I think we might have a Jean-Sebastien 'Jiggy' Giguere clone in Braden Holtby.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Wow! Another OT period in the Coyotes-Blackhawks series.

Phoenix had a 2-0 lead in the third period thanks to goals from Shane Doan and Taylor Pyatt.

But Chicago answered with Brendan Morrison and Michael Frolik, who scored at 18:34 in the third.

The 'Yotes won Games 1 and 3 in OT while the 'Hawks won Game 2 in OT. Who will win Game 4 in OT?

[BroadwayBomber55]

The Phoenix Coyotes take a 3-1 series over the Chicago Blackhawks with a 3-2 OT win in Game 4.

Mikkel Boedker scored his second straight OT winner at 2:15 into overtime.

[Bernforever51]

still think panthers win series in 6

Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville has been fined $10,000 by the NHL for public comments critical of the officiating after Tuesday's 3-2 Game 3 overtime loss to the Phoenix Coyotes, the league announced Thursday afternoon.

For those keeping score at home:

Smash a guy's face into the glass = $2500

Criticize the officials = $10,000

Criticize the Pens = $20,000

What's the going rate for criticizing Canada's National hero...........Sid the Kid?

Cross-check a Penguin and then punch him in the face while he is on the ice in an attempt to "take matters into his own hands" and later admit that Penguin did nothing to warrant the attack = $0

Wow-- that's ridiculous.

And Hagelin gets three games for an elbow.

[dabomb2045]

I certainly have no love lost for the Pens....but Rinaldo not getting anything is the definition of ridiculous.

Rinaldo is a thug and should be joining Torres on the unemployment line. Even Flyers fans that I know hate Rinaldo. He isnt a hockey player...he's just a goon.

he did take out their star...........and it was to the head............one game to me would have been sufficient.

I know you guys are young.....but I`ve been watching the Play offs since 1967..........the things I`ve seen.......starting with the Good Friday melee with the Habs and Nordiques

[Mr Coffee]

I'd have been fine with one game.

However I don't think star status should matter.

[montrealer]

I concur..........but it does..........The Gretsky era set the bar..........in the old days if you touched the star a price was paid..........but it was not against the oppositions star...........it was the man whom did the dirty deed.

[montrealer]

The players have lost respect to each other............in the40`s ,50`s, 60`s ,70`s and 80`s you never saw shots to the head.......it was a code.......maybe the helmet changed things ....I don`t pretend to know...........but today`s game is out of control .......yeah yeah I know ...players are bigger and faster but the hip check is a lost art..........it`s all to the brain bucket......so sad

[montrealer]

Talked to my Uncle last night whom played for 9 years in the NHL in the 60`s..............he`s totally disgusted with the disrespect players have for each other. In his day it was a brotherhood and most had second jobs after the season.......you had families to take of and when the season was over they were all friends............yeah I know ....6 team league.....everyone knew each other or were related...............as a fan for over 45 years I`m not happy where this is going......till they bury one of these guys I fear nothing will change.
