But then that wild scramble in front and captain clutch picked up that loose puck. unreal.
and the 2OT goal!? forget about it. the fact that he was able to come around the back of the net as quickly as he did, while somehow helping that puck on his stick (the backhand side of his stick, mind you) without it rolling off the blade was incredible. and all to seal the deal for their first series win in 23 years. such an awesome experience.
also, It seems as if there was some confusion regarding one of my previous posts...when I said "go to the game on Sunday with my boys facing elimination", I meant "my boys" as in 'The Islanders' lol...I am far too young for kids, or at least I'd like to think so. however, I was so tired from commuting to the game and the ups and downs of the first two periods that I think I took a quick nap during the 2nd intermission

Oh..got it..thought you had little guys--I have a 6-year old who gets tossed in the air every time the Sharks score a goal. When and if you do have kids they really thrive off our love of sports. I have Nieces who I have taken to games as well and they just love my intensity for it.

Props to the Flyers for making it a close series after nearly folding in 4 games, but as fecurtis said, fuck the Flyers.
Caps/Pens will be a great, hard hitting series. Crosby is without a doubt a whiny little bitch tho, and he will take cheap shots when the refs have their backs turned and/or get away with obvious penalties because he is the league's golden boy. if he simply complains enough about a call he might even get his way

Yeah, we all know how Crosby is right? Surprised no Pens fans here. I think the Caps may be in trouble with the Penguins this series--the Penguins have been really rolling at the end of the season and now and the Caps are a little flat. Seems like Ovechkin will have to be bigger than Crosby or Malkin.
