Considering NHL playoffs take 6 months to complete...don't hold your breath waiting to cash that ticket.

The NHL playoffs is basically when all of the fist fighting and scoring stops --- but all of the checking and diving in front of slap shots start.

Or am I still in 1995?

Buffalo had the greatest goon line I've ever seen. Brad May, Rob Ray, and Matt Barnaby ... and Bob Boughner as a defenseman.

I think they had 4 of the top 10 players in fighting majors in one season.

[MaTH716]

How was that not icing?

I wonder if Bryzgolv's night is over.

What was really funny was before realignment/expansion it was the same format... They played an entire season just to determine who the 5 worst teams were.

i still find it odd to see him behind the bench, wearing a suit.


let's go caps!!


and flyers vs pens...can't stand either team! but ought to be an interesting series after their last regular season match.

[MaTH716]

Better period for Bryz and the Flyers. They still have a lot of work ahead of them.

I thought Bryz played ok in the 1st too. None of the goals where his fault IMO.

I thought the first 2 could have been saved. Crosby with a floating backhand and then even on the second goal, Kennedy didnt get all that shot. The third was a bit flukey.
Compare the goals vs some of the saves Fleury made, most notably Jagr on the breakaway and Hartnell on the 2 on 1. That's the difference so far, Fleury made big saves early while Bryz did not.

[MaTH716]

Wow. Flyers look like a totally different team since the first period.

Overtime

I left DC in 1999, but was a season ticket holder for years - I was thrilled when he came to the Caps - As a kid, he was and still is my favorite player - A good friend was in the front office and got me this as a going away present -

[MaTH716]

That was a pretty gutty comeback for a team on the road that looked absolutely dead in the first period. Bryzgalov also picked his game big time.

very nice. we moved down here in 94. only things i miss from up there are hockey and steamed blue crabs. got my husband hooked on hockey while we lived up there just glad they came up with nhl center ice, i get that every year. started going when the team started, i was 7.

i have a signed pic of adam oates in my office. gets some funny looks! not many around here who know anything about hockey. my oldest was a dino cicarelli fan back when he was 6-7 years old. still have one of his signed cards.
