I'm not watching. I'll check the DVR later.

No player in the league has a shorter leash with fans/etc than MAF. Without him this game is 6-3 CBJ, and we're knotted up on the way back to Pittsburgh.

I'm predicting the final score will be 4-3 tonight...

Nice call dash.

LMAFO!

Now that is classic, sir.

Same in Game 3. He faced few shots. But they were good god damned shots.


What this series could have been if they were just allowed to play like they have in the third here. JEEEZUS. Two good, hard working teams that aren't playing cheap. It's good to watch.

Oh Fluery.

When will you become a playoff success


















FOR YOUR TEAM

It was a chessmatch at the end there. Good defensive hockey too.

EDIT: Oh god...this is going to end on a powerplay, isn't it? It's going to end on a delay of game ISN'T IT?!

I almost posted this with about 5 minutes to go...

"Columbus shouldn't even try to score. Just dump in pucks that will cause MAF to play them and let the magic happen."

Yeah, I was a little confused by that post. It was awhile back now I suppose...

Okay. My heart rate is back to normal.

Someone get a tranq dart ready though.


See you on the other side boys and girls.

I was pretty happy with that one.

Fleury is heading for his 5th straight playoffs with a sub-.900 save percentage.

That is terrible. Short leash deserved. I was glad when they signed him to a long deal years back. I said at the time it would hold back the franchise, especially at the price. Hard to say that's not at least partially correct.

Fleury doesn't pass the eye test - glove is nothing special, lateral movement is weak, and puck handling is abysmal. Not sure what people like about him.

Cool nickname?

The defense department regrets to inform you that your team is dead because your goalie was stupid.

 

[elocomotive]

Cool nickname?

You can be my wingman anytime, dash.
