Stanley Cup Picks

Looks like there are singles available for tonight's game via TM.  Ignore the "Currently not on sale" message and click "More info" to get to the ticket page.

I know nothing of this offsides you speak of….

Nonetheless, Anaheim probably deserved a win in Detroit this weekend having played as well as they did.  Both games very likely could have gone to OT.  You East Coasters should take a nap tomorrow evening as I seem to remember 3 of 4 games in this series going to OT back in 1997 (I had a law school final the morning of the 3 OT affair in Anaheim that I bombed…).

Yesterday's game reminded me so much of the 2003 3OT affair.  Giguere kept Anaheim in it until the Ducks could finally catch a break.  And, far be it for me to point out that Anaheim is 5-2 at the Joe since that game. 

overtime playoff hockey is the grade destroyer. i bombed a final after the nedved goal

My favorite part was after the summer break, the professor sought me out and asked what happened (apparently she expected me to do better).  I told her that I was up until 4 AM watching an OT hockey game and just wasn't prepared/alert for the 9AM final.

She was so appalled, but I was fine with it.  I'm sure I said something like "Playoff hockey, what are you going to do?"

and she answered, "badly on your exam, obviously." :D

I was never going to be a property lawyer anyway….

not with that attitude!

i wish i remembered what class i bombed. i wager it was an elective

Skipping out on poker tournaments?

Oh yeah!  Caps are the only team up 2-0 in the semis after 2 games!  Off to Pittsburgh.

Maybe they can keep Sidney out of the crease next game.

Sour grapes?
I concur though…loads of 2nd and 3rd chances for the kid….though his last goal was pretty much garbage time.

Quite the opposite.  I'm a Caps fan.  Crosby scored Steckel-like goals.  Compare that to what Ovechkin did.

Yeah..all of OV's goals were from way outside…the last one esp. was suuuweeeeet.

I still say Crosby's last goal was pure garbage though…goalie pulled, desperation, nothing but a stat.

sid's the only pen thats come to score. pretty frustrating, both games in dc were winnable

i think the caps win anyway and by no means am i saying that the pens were robbed or anything like that, but if we're calling goals garbage, cooke was clearly interfered with on ovies second goal

for me the difference is the caps are getting better play from their nonstars

Maybe Kunitz needs to cross-check the goalie more often.

or score a goal. either would be helpful

Ok so why so much attitude (not just from you) about all the new fans in DC?  People who are just getting into hockey aren't allowed to??

It only makes sense there would be lot of new hockey fans in DC.  There hasn't been a likable, winning team in this city for well over a decade.  The caps ownership and management are doing a brilliant job of marketing the team, and they're winning.  To top it off they have one of the games biggest stars (if not THE biggest star) on the roster.  So what's not to like?  Why shouldn't the team have a boat load of new fans?
