Eriksson ties it up off the post.

Malkin waits and waits... and no more room.

Flower stops Ribiero, still 1-1.

 

[joe_baran]

Kunitz w/ the deke and up 2-1. Come on flower... bring it home.

 

[joe_baran]

Curses... Jamie Benn roofs it and back to 2-2.

A costly two points. Hopefully Letang and Sully are gonna be all right.

What happened to Sullivan? He was just heating up. 6-game point streak, I think.

Wow post game and I think JR and Millbury are gonna go at it.

 

[BF4L]

Holy shit those 2 guys really hate each other

I didn't see the play that injured him. He did not skate the third, and had only 12 minutes.

Well, just got back from an...establishment. *cough* Had to take care of drunken friend. Yeay. Anyway, great game. Playoff feel. I'll join the Eff Dallas crew...man they were rough to play against. A lot of obnoxious players on that team. Obviously this win feels good, but my mind is with Tanger. Just can NOT afford to lose him...and sadly, I doubt there's any way he's not concussed.

Also, a comment on the Letang hit:
Did he put himself in a vulnerable position? Slightly, but he was doing the appropriate thing, he lunged forward to move the puck up the boards in an attempt to avoid a crushing hit, and it certainly seemed like Nystrom got shoulder to head in addition to sort of lunging out of his way to ensure contact with Letang. It's those hits where the hitter thinks they're about to miss a guy that are most dangerous...then they start lunging in an attempt to catch any part of the guy. And I agree with Milbury (what in the world?), it comes down to a change of mindset...until that happens, the concussions continue. No other solution. How many superstars will it take?

 

[evolver115]

Hey JR, u silly fuck

Didn't make contact with the head, huh?

There are two Stars players that I like (Jamie Benn and Loui Eriksson). I'd love either of those guys on the Flames.

I have to throw Morrow in with those two. I'd take all three on the Pens bench.

I'm so glad Ott is in the western conference. He is a worthless POS. Both Engelland and Asham wanted to throw down, and he wanted none of it. He patted Ash on the shoulder and begged for mercy. What a pussy

Yeah, Morrow is a warrior, trouble is the spirit is willing, but his body is betraying him. I don't think there's much tread left on his tires.
