By losing focus on Green and letting him score twice promptly followed by Ovi being Ovi and scoring the game winner. That's how.

LETS GO CAPS!! I thought about going but decided to save the money for ATL. I got kinda scared when Alex didn't have any shots on goal through the first 2 periods, but he came through.

I'm not much of a hockey fan, but as a former Montrealer I am of course cheering for the Habs. Poor Bruins - I think the Canadiens have beaten them 11 times in a row, now.

You know what I'm not happy about?

My sister got 2 free tickets for the Sharks on Thursday! And I'm gonna be in Atlanta...

Yeah, I saw that on VS when they were just figuring it was in the leg or something he could just walk off. Bad times for him.

Go Sharks!

I hope not. I want my Wild to win at least one series, preferably more!

Even though the one PP goal was pretty cheap. A man hurt on the ice and play wasn't called dead? Pretty gay. I think if he outs steve downie is be playing next game and that might get ugly.

The way the game of hockey has been enforced for the more than 15 years that I've been a fan of it state that it's basically a referee judgment call. If they think the defending player struck by the puck isn't seriously hurt (puck to the face) then they won't blow their whistles. They don't want a situation where after every blocked shot the defender will stay on the ice to get a stoppage in play, especially after a series of a minute or more of constant pressure. It was obvious that the puck was nowhere near his face when it hit him, and hit him in his lower to mid-body. It's too bad he got hit where he was hit (luckily ESPN says he's alright enough not to have surgery), and it would suck to have your team (whether you're a part of it or a fan) scored against on a play where a player was hurt, but it has happened in the past and will happen in the future. It's part of the game.

Agreed. Part of the reason I'm not a soccer fan is the "diving" that takes place late in games. I don't want something similar in the NHL.

My boys pulled it off in game 2. Lets hope that they can take game 3.

[Guy Davidson]

Go Sharks! That's just about all I can say

[Rohith Surampudi]

[Danny McC]

Roho. I would love to see the Devils get past the first round. However, doesnt seem like it will happen.
