[The Mars Volchenkov]

Redden.. was that a good view of the man just walking right by you?

You've been waiting for this, haven't you?

But he looks bad out there.

 

[MartinFr]

It's time for the NHL and NHLPA to throw some weight around.

European ice sucks, European refs suck and European rules suck.

haha what a crybaby

 

[CSKA]

It's time for the NHL and NHLPA to throw some weight around.

European ice sucks, European refs suck and European rules suck.

 

[BigE]

Obvious call.

Yeah, no arguments there.

Personally, I don't buy the "refs were horrible" excuse at any time. I've only ever seen a handful of occassions where MAYBE it was warranted.

All in all this has been a well officiated game. Thus far.

 

[Vikke]

It's time for the NHL and NHLPA to throw some weight around.

European ice sucks, European refs suck and European rules suck.

 

[Quiet Robert]

What a dirty play on Selanne

Well in all likelyhood it saved a goal. It wasen't pretty, but that's one of those penalties you can forgive.

 

[Ovechkin_mvp]

It's time for the NHL and NHLPA to throw some weight around.

European ice sucks, European refs suck and European rules suck.

Sure, 'cause, U actually need skills to play on big ice.

 

[Agasthya]

Richards is doing a great job iwth the forecheck on this PK

 

[Blades of Glory]

It's time for the NHL and NHLPA to throw some weight around.

European ice sucks, European refs suck and European rules suck.

Unfortunately, so does the Canadian defense.

 

[BigE]

This is another one of those games where you get the feeling that if Canada scores it could very well be a MUCH different game.

 

[Den]

Why do we suck so bad?

Most likely we are seeing the end of the 4-5 year stretch of Canadian domination.

 

[Jori]

I guess Regehr was tired of getting abused

 

[Noose]

Just an excellent hockey game.

Hope Selänne is alright.

 

[shakes]

You've been waiting for this, haven't you?

But he looks bad out there.

What? Me? You mean after all the McCabe bashing and how much better Redden is and how Redden is so unfortunate to have to play with bad McCabe? I don't know why you would say that.

 

[Mules]

Unfortunately, so does the Canadian defense.

Their D looks like molasses on ice, so SLOW. They looked lost in big ice like this.

 

[McJadeddog]

i cant remember the last time ive seen pronger play this badly.... every 2nd pass has been horrible

 

[Noose]

Oh yeah, lets also hope that Sindler shows better balls than he has so far.

 

[Rob]

Can someone please explain to me what Shane Doan is doing on this team?

 

[PapaBear*]

Does anyone else think that Luongo has earned te #1 spot? He has played far better than Brodeur so far.

 

[KariyaIsGod*]

Sure, 'cause, U actually need skills to play on big ice.

So, are you insinuating that Canadians have no skill, or that NHlers all together have no skill?

Either way, your statement is a joke...

 

[Namso]

WHERE IS KARIYA!??!?! he's always the guy that starts teh momentum.

 

[Vinceee]

Unfortunately, so does the Canadian defense.

and the whole american team...

 

[In the Doghouse]

It's time for the NHL and NHLPA to throw some weight around.

European ice sucks, European refs suck and European rules suck.

Fortunately, European players don't suck, as you can see...

 

[Ovechkin_mvp]

Selanne for President

this guys is just amazing.

MAN, I wish he was playing for Russia.

 

[Padawan]

Just as I feared. Canada had another gear and they did use it. Thank god we have Niittymäki there. Also this team fought hard and showed some heart. This is promising for the third period. It should be a great one.
