Non-Minnesota NHL News XI

[Haite]

Haven't been around here much lately, watching SWE-CAN now. Anyone know if Brodin is on Team Sweden. If not, why?

No he's not. They already got Edler from Vancouver and probably didn't have more roster spots open for defencemen. Don't know if they would've chosen him anyway.

Got that from the GDT on the main board. Okay so I'm not a hockey nut like some of you guys here. I don't know the bottom pairing guys there.

 

[Jaykay]

Awesome finish to SWE-CAN. Love to see the Canadians ousted and the Americans move on, especially over the Russians

 

[Puhis]

So, Edler with a blatant knee at Eric Staal. That was as intentional as they come.

Still, I think Finland has better chance against Sweden than they would've had against Canada, so a good result in my book. Also, FIN-SWE is in general one of THE rivalries in international hockey, so that's a bonus.

Definitely a game to watch, even if you're a neutral fan. FIN-SWE is on Saturday, 4:00 PM EET/8:00 AM CST.

So LA takes a questionable run at the goalie, and SJ comes out of it with the penalty.

Refereeing at it's finest in this league.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Now a 5 on 3 on a delay of game penalty that I believe went off another players arm.

Of course it's tied. LA takes the lead on the PP.

I'm honestly not sure if the playoffs are worth watching with this crap.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

See what you can do when you actually score on the PP?

 

[Fel 96]

Shep in action.

 

[Puhis]

"He looks like in some disbelief" No, that's just his patented Shep Face™

But I agree, that was a horrible, horrible call.

[Jarick]

That lady's annoying.

**** the Kings.

 

[Jarick]

The more penalties you call, the more likely you are to get it wrong.

Wings with a dominating win in Chicago this afternoon, that was fun to watch!

On a side note, 1-1 between Kings/Sharks

BTW, is Havlat on the last year or does he have one more year left on his deal?

 

[mezcal]

**** the Kings. I've never been able to stand them.

He's got next year and the year after. Trading him for Heatley, who only has next year, was one of the many positives of that trade.

Oh thanks, the reason I ask is cause I bet ya my bottom dollar Sharks buy him out this offseason. Horrific year and now again injured for them.

5-3 in playoff OT, not every day you are going to see that.

 

[Avder]

Even with as little we got out of Heatley this year, we still won that trade.

 

[Sportsfan1]

Good to see San Jose win, they've been playing to gritty, to well to get swept by LA, we got series now in the West!

 

[Avder]

Yayyy the Sharks won a game and can make it a series in game 4!

 

[Avder]

Come on, Sens! Get this one in OT!

 

[Avder]

All kinds of miscommunication there by the Sens defense in their own zone.

 

[mezcal]

I want the Penguins to win, mainly because 'MURICA!

 

[Avder]

I want the Sens to win because <3 Sens and also **** NBC.

 

[Avder]

Yay Sens!

 

[mezcal]

Am I the only one that thinks the Sharks coach looks like a pedophile?
