Stanley Cup Finals Thread

Can we at least acknowledge that Killorn's goal was pretty? 

\
 
There are better angles, I'll find them. 

 
 
Not pictured, Filpula's (?) awesome shielding of the puck to maintain the zone and get the puck to the point, which eventually led to the tip. Tampa was all over the Hawks in the first 10-12 minutes. I didn't like their chances after they couldn't muster more than a goal in that portion of the game.

Pretty? That goal was fantastic. Great hand/eye coordination on that play.

 

[LogansDad]

First 4 minutes tonight have been pretty intense.

 

[LogansDad]

Tampa strikes first!  

 

[johnmd20]

Sweet move before the shot there.

 

[LogansDad]

Great pass from Shaw (I think) to Toews, who makes an insane move..... and an even better save by Bishop.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I fear a sweep

 

[Salem's Lot]

Nasty tip

Was that "if I was a rich man" from fiddler on the roof playing on the piano?

That seems like an odd choice for a hockey game.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Imagine how good Chicago would be with a good goalie.

 

[hitatater]

I still don't see (or understand) how Johnson just scored from there. Amazing

 

[LogansDad]

You know, I get why people dislike the NHL because of the lockouts and all that shit.  But people who say things like, "Hockey is boring", or "Hockey isn't a real sport", and yet watch other sports like basketball are really dumb.
 
This is the greatest sport on the planet.

Jews love hockey

 

[hitatater]

Agreed with the great sport comment: constant movement and action, always changing O vs D, amazing skills, amazing athleticism.  And HD TV really agrees with the sport.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Crawford has a pretty good history of coming up big in big games

I'm both Jewish and was in fiddler on the roof twice when I was acting. The song is stuck in my head again. Thanks to the organist :-/

I want this series to go seven

 

[soxhop411]

Ok these clash of clans commercials are annoying as hell

If TB doesn't win tonight, it might not go 5.  And then all day long you'll biddy biddy bum.

I want 7 as well, though, to be fair, i want every series that doesn't involve the Bruins or Canadiens to go 7.

I'm a kings fan. And to be honest the last two Stanley cup wins were death to me. I don't think I could have taken another one this year. (Unless it ended in another cup)

 

[LogansDad]

I'm with you... I LOVE watching the Bruins in the playoffs, but I think I ENJOY the games more when they aren't playing.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Hossa had his stick in Bishop's skate.

 

[Salem's Lot]

That's a goal. Stop being a cunt Bishop.

 

[kenneycb]

Bishop's in the blue and gets a stick in the skate. It was going in regardless but he has a point.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Dumb penalty by Sharp.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Nice dive.

 

[LogansDad]

LOL, what's with the astronaut?  Am I the only one who saw that?

 

[hitatater]

THERE'S the TB Power Play! Puck movement, people movement, good shot.

 

[LogansDad]

Sweet!  Now hold on to this lead!

 

[LogansDad]

Bishop with the shits?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

What happened to Bishop?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Dumbest penalty in sports strikes again.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

I get so tired of that complaint. It's a rule, everyone knows it. There's no ambiguity. It didn't arise from nothing, but in response to intentional attempts to slow aggressive offensive pressure by throwing pucks out of play.

 

[hitatater]

20 year-old goalie in with the 1 goal lead.  Welcome to the game, kid.

 

[LogansDad]

Dumb icing, looked like he had time.

 

[LogansDad]

This is awesome.  And Doc still thinks Bishop is in net.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Chicago with 6 attackers is fucking terrifying

 

[soxhop411]

Bishop with the shits?

Yes?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

We've got a series.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

20 year-old goalie in with the 1 goal lead.  Welcome to the game, kid.

And Emrick keeps calling him Bishop. lol

 

[LogansDad]

It's gonna go at least 5.  That makes me really happy.  Those last 5 minutes were as good as it gets.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Any chance of a goalie controversy?

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Those stupid penalties by Sharp cost the Blackhawks the game.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Any chance of a goalie controversy?

For who?

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Except no one tries it any more because of the rule. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. Make it no change/no timeout, faceoff in the zone.

 

[Monbo Jumbo]

Bishop in net tonight.
Let's Go Bolts!

 

[Fred in Lynn]

It's not just for those who served, Mike. It's for all.
