Wild dominated this game.

I stopped breathing for the last 2 minutes.

Assuming the kings don't completely fall apart in 16:45, im still pessimistic about the series. Too big of a hole to dig out of

Don't worry, it's the Sharks they're up against. 

 

[Nawzlew]

Went to the game in LA today (Sharks fan).

Kings have the best fans in LA.

Yup. It was me who called the blast from Krug.

Game 5 is going to be a battle. Inserting Bertuzzi was the right call for the Wings. He provided extra toughness and that was just what the Wings needed. They did a great job and I thought they were going to win the game but the Bruins kept chipping away. Very good W

 

[meyer23]

the guy only had two series ending OT goals, including a ******* cup winner

According to an article I read, she asked that trying to get him to "open up about his other game winning goals" which quite frankly sounds like an "oh ****, time to make an excuse for that question" 

 

[lightweight champion]

Foolish way to go about it. Why not ask him how it compares to the other GW goals he's had?

 

[meyer23]

I bet it was just a cover up after they realized how dumb the question was.

Vezina Finalists:

Tuukka
Bishop
Varlamov

thoughts?

 

[lvjordan238]

Varlamov HAS to be the winner. Tuukka is awesome too, but I have to give Varly the edge because Boston's D >>>>>>>>> Colorado's D.

 

[mrdango09]

I think Tuukka has it this year. All three obviously had good seasons, but good stats on the best team... Come on

 

[DeadsetAce]

i'm obviously biased so i won't answer. i also didn't watch a lot of Colorado play this year either.

 

[dmxfury]

Love watching Rask play. Dude plays so chill and is awesome

 

[DeadsetAce]

he's chill unless the puck goes in. then ******* tuukka comes out to play....

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[meyer23]

That top one is money 

 

[proshares]

Yo that second gif looks like a ******* executioner.

I gotta give it to Varlamov. That Colorado defense is so piss poor

 

[dmxfury]

Fair enough, well when making a save he does it effortlessly

 

[Bad Religion]

Excited for Gillis as executive of the year.

 

[mczoot]

Excited for Gillis as executive of the year.

Vezina should be Varlamov or Bishop. Carried far worse overall teams than Boston. And I've got mad respect for Boston.

 

[jewseejay]

Backstrom is the leader of the caps imho. Him or brouwer. Ovie is a lead by example guy but only on the rush haha
