Me too and I thought a 7pm puch drop meant I'd be home relatively early too.

Gonna be some tired dogs tomorrow evening, except for Shaw, kid never seems to tire.

I stated earlier, before the series began, that if a star player on either side went down that could tilt things. I have grave concerns about Horton's effectiveness even if he plays. Tough blow.

From CBSSports.com:

As of Friday he (Horton) is the second leading scorer in the NHL this postseason with 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 17 games.

Or Chicago loses one of its best players to even things out.....

Horton is in for tonight. Eee.

Alain Vigneault is the new coach of the Rags.

The Rangers felt they needed to pussify their team?

Hockey players just pop a shoulder back in place and play the next game. Unreal. We'd all be in the hospital.

Every year during the playoffs I marvel at what these players are willing to put themselves through. Guys not missing any time for things that would put players from other sports out for the season. Campbell playing on a broken leg, I remember a couple years ago Stamkos got his face destroyed by a puck and just had it stitched up in between shifts. It's amazing, it's why the Stanley Cup Playoffs are the best thing in sports.

Dear Boston Fans complaining about how late the game went....

Try playing in the Western Conf. for a few years.

Try living west coast and following the Bruins. 60 or so times a year I make an excuse to duck out of work to head home and watch them on tv. I'd much rather be up late.

Hawks completely dominating so far....

yeah this is awful

Bullshit. The game starts at 4, you miss the first period. No big deal.

Living in the eastern time zone, and having half your playoff games for the last 20 years start after 10 at night, not over until 1:00 without overtime, and having to be up for work at 5:30.


The west coast has it so easy for sports its not even funny. No super late nights. Time to get drunk after the super bowl ends. NFL Games from 10 am until you go to bed.

Another exciting game! I had basically talked myself into the fact that we were going to lose 12 minutes into the game, so it was a great pick-me-up.

We certainly deserved to.

I've said for a couple of years now that Tortorella didn't get nearly the offensive potential out of the squad he had...as much as I hate AV and think he's a TERRIBLE coach in terms of making adjustments/holding players accountable, the Rangers will score a lot more goals with his system

I thought that Chicago was a good sports town....

I still don't know why Tortorella decided to go with such a defensive system. He had one of the best goalies in the league, so that wasn't the reason. He didn't use that system in Tampa Bay.
