The Chicago Blackhawks have won 6 in a row. Beware NHL.

They played Brain of J, Last Exit, Leash and Porch at the game

Huge PJ fans over there. I remember at the old stadium when they used to have screen shots of Vedder and Belfour on the scoreboard as the crowd would chant "E-ddie, E-ddie."

Yeah we were talking that maybe he was @ the game yesterday and then was going to sing @ Cubs. Woops!

I've often noticed how Chicago loves PJ. Seems like a great place to see a game!

Big Habs win tonight, watch out!

You'd think the referees would be embarrassed that the main talking point heading into game 3 of Bos-MTL is how the Bruins need to overcome the referees inability to call a good game in Montreal.

This is going to be a tough building tonight.

How you doin, Sara Diamond?

First time a game in this series was decided by some bonehead plays

Good lord I can't believe the Wild ended up winning as big as they did. Same thing happened game 1 for chicago I believe. Super tight then explodes at the end.

Our 2nd Goal that Granlund put in the net made it seem we can go the distance with chicago. If I had more confidence in Bryzgalov I'd say this could go 7.

Chicago is so fast and talented though. We'll see.

Super fucking huge win tonight. Good fun.

If you mean the Bruins defense being completely incapable of containing the speed of the Habs, then yes you are correct.

The shots were 19-18. If Minnesota can stifle Chicago's offense that much on a regular basis then you may not need to have too much confidence in Bryzgalov.

It's pretty amazing that they Wild have even come this far while counting on their third and fourth goalies.

They did shut them down, but until the final 8-10 mins, Chicago looked bored and uninspired out there. When they got down 2 goals, then they started to play like it mattered.

And the wtf is with Kane whiffing on a gimme in front of the net??

Fun Fact: Chicago lost all game 3's during their Championship run last year.

They did a pretty good job containing them for most of Games 1 + 2, but a lot of it was just being out of position. How do you not drop back and cover the guy coming out of the penalty box? Then you had the defense just watching that slap pass/half shot coming down to the wide-open guy in the slot. The third goal was a product of Montreal being A+ at blocking shots all series. Ack, I don't want to talk about it anymore! Winner of Game 4 wins the series, I think.

its like fluery and king henry traded teams

My head will explode if it's a MON-PIT eastern conference finals

The only bright side to that would be the utter steamrolling that's coming down the pike from either LA or CHI

Meh...

Habs vs. Chicago 1-0-1 (both fantastic games that went to OT)
Habs vs. LA 0-2 (one game a blowout, one game a 2-1 loss)

Pitt vs. LA 1-1
Pitt vs. Chi 1-1 (a 4-1 win and that 5-1 loss at Solider Field)

Not so sure I'd call that a steamrolling in the making.

Did I read correctly that Toronto extended Carlyle?

You did.

I... actually don't have that much of a problem with it.

I'm just surprised is all, considering how everyone thought it was pretty much a done deal that he was out.

Yeah, I think a lot of people expected Shanahan to lead a bit of house cleaning. I think we'll see some serious roster turnover in the next few months, though.
