I dont know about TSN, but if RDS peaked at 3.106M in the 3rd, that's basically half the province that watched the game! I can only imagine if they go further.
-
I would have used the glove save from Game 6. By far his best of the series.
At first I thought the same. There's plenty to chose from. That pad save, coming in Game 7 when it was just 1-0 probably weights more in History than the glove save.
-
BTW, I cranked the way-back-then machine and found this from 4 years ago:
I've got to see Halak in the Q and he's going to overachieve. There's still lot to work on technically, but he's athletic and competitive. Watching him steal games for the scrappy bunch of Lewiston last season gave me flashbacks of Hasek in Buffalo years ago. And indeed I'm scared that Halak turns into a Hasek-Vokoun-Kipprusoff type of goalie. I wouldn't be surprised if Halak became to Price what Hasek became to Belfour, Vokoun to Theodore and Kiprussoff to Nabokov.If only AK46 had filled his promises the same way...

Nobody gives us a shadow of a chance against the Pens either. I hope it motivates the guys. Halak's been an underdog all his life and he seems to thrive on proving people wrong. I hope the entire team feels they need to keep proving people wrong.
WE SHOOK THE WORLD! LET'S KEEP ON SHAKING!

Certainly gonna be a harder series than against the Caps. The Pens' defensemen will be hard on our forwards. Pay attention to Brooks Orpik, he can hit viciously. I'm also pretty sure Matt Cooke will do all he can to get to Halak.
As for Sid, he's a much more complete player than Ovie. If you check him, he'll find an open man. I'd put Markov on him, it's our best bet to cut passes to and from Sid. Let G+G take care of Malkin.
Martin will need to adapt the system. He got lucky against the Caps. We were facing a team tailor-made for his passive defensive style and we still needed 4 games and some Halak heroics to get out of it alive. He'll have to be much quicker against the Pens, who actually have the killer instinct and wont let us come back from the dead.
Can't go in this series trying to keep the same recipe as against the Caps.

Did anyone see the new official "History will be made" ad from the NHL? It's of Datsyuk's breakway goal in Game 7 vs Phoenix on a feed by Zetterberg. It says "What if the draft stopped after 5 rounds"...
It's kinda funny when you think about Halak, because he was drafted in the 9th round in 2003. Starting in 2005, the NHL cut the draft down to 8 round. Halak wouldnt even have been drafted if the draft was 8 rounds in 2003!
-
It's really crazy when you think about it: the Bruins, Flyers and Habs have been in a sort of 3-way battle for the last 3 playoffs spots; and most of the time all 3 teams played like they didnt even want to be in the playoffs. Lo and behold, all 3 survived the 1st round... and the top 3 seeds of the Conference are gone golfing.
RDS must be in raptures. MTL and PIT.And if the Habs make it through the Pens, you have 2 historical rivalries waiting in Boston or Philadelphia. And if the Habs make it past that, you've got 2 Original 6 teams and another Canadian team in the West.

1. Thank you Koz for changing your woman. That was the TSN turning point.
2. Hal Gill, Josh Gorges.
3. Why can't we take 5 minutes to celebrate before starting the controversy for round two?
4. AK should be traded.
5. He can take his whiny brother with him.
6. Jaro the Hero.
7. I think we need to take a pill and remember that getting past the Craps does not equate to getting past the Pens and then flying to the parade. We were *badly* out-played for long stretches. But we were opportunistic, better in the special teams (by far, and incidentally, why did everyone freak when we went to the PK at the end of the game? that was 'put it to bed' time), and had a much better system. (Holy freeholies! JM adjusted all series! Turning point in his coaching career, IMO.)
8. *And I believe the most important* Experience and leadership. Gomez, Gionta, Cammi, Gill, Moen. You don't come back against the best team in the league, especially down 3-1, without guys who know what it takes to win. I know there's a lot of stink regarding those salaries, particularly that of Gomez, but it's nights and series like this where he earns every penny.
1. I take full credit for this win. Misa Campo FTW!
2. G+G were awesome. Shades of Rick Green and Craig Ludwig in 86.
3. ...
4. AK = 3.5M$ needed to resign Plekanec.
5. SK = 585K needed for a new zamboni
6. Halak to move it move it.
7. We played the same rope-a-dope strategies that got us pretty far in 2002. Not sure how much it'll work against the Pens.
8. The players' mood after being down 1-3 in the series surely showed mental focus. I hope it becomes a new team philosophy.

16-12-2013 Vincent Lecavalier reaches a milestone !
Vincent Lecavalier scored the 500th goal of his career in tonight's game against the Nashville Predators on a feed by Tuomo Ruutu. I was happy it happened in this Arena where I've had so many special moments in the past, the happy player commented.
A native of Canada, Vincent Lecavalier was originally drafted to the NHL by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1st round of the 1998 entry draft. He has appeared in 1235 NHL games during his career, notching 500 goals and adding 671 assists along with 591 penalty minutes. The 33 year old center has played 32 games with the Chicago Blackhawks this season, totalling 12+17=29 with 19 PIM.

They better break the cycle of knocking off the big dog in round one and getting raped in round 2.
1998 - 7 seed beats a 2 and gets swept by the Sabres
2002 - 8 seed beats a 1 and gets beat by the Canes 4-2
2004 - 7 seed beats a 2 and gets swept by the Lightning
Otherwise it is all for naught.
Not gonna be easy. The Pens look poise to repeat. They are not the Caps. They have some D's who can hit and a goalie who can steal games. The Caps were a bunch of chokers, the Pens are reigning Cup champions. A whole new ball game.
-
You know, I'm starting to hate the Caps already. Because of all the stats in favor of Washington I keep hearing left and right. I'm sick of it already.
So the Caps are the best thing since sliced bread? Good. Just gonna make it even more fun when we upset them. Because we will upset them. I said they were the best matchup we could hope for and we got them. We're gonna expose their shoddy defensemen and shaky goalies.
-
I bet they do the opposite and break out the imagery of Dryden, Roy and Theodore.
Probably... and if Halak doesnt keep pulling 40+ saves 1-goal wins, they'll break out the Steve Penney imagery...
-
-
You laugh, but if they go down 2-0, somebody will call for Price to start Game 3.
I wont mind, if it means Halak comes back to win 3 straight.
3 goals allowed on 137 shots in those 3 games. .978 save percentage FTW!
-
So...
Who starts Game 1 vs Pittsburgh? Price has a pretty good record against the Pens!
-
HABS WIN! HABS WIN! HABS WIN!
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOT A PP!!!!
-
I couldnt live through an OT.
PLEASE NO MORE GOALS ALLOWED!!!
-
Ugh. Back to a 1-goal game.
Damnit. Need more beer!
-
That goal is well-worth a 2nd rounder in 2011...
