Haha, the guy that lost his blade in the middle of the ice.
That song is pretty popular in Europe (unfortunately), especially in soccer.
Also, is Marty Turco playing in his red Blackhawks pads?
Yes.
Turco won the game in the SO. He was third star.
He let another PP goal by, although the puck took a bounce off one of his defenseman's back, Turco was still was able to get a toe out there to stop the initial shot.
This is an interesting scenario, as Salzburg is completely outmatched by Jokerit. First period shots were 13-2 in favor of Joker.
Turco let in another PP goal. I'm not sure what that means about his ability. Salzburg probably would have been blown out of the water already if not for Turco though. He's doing very well, but he's not really dominating like I'd like to see.
However, experience has taught me that a goalie does not necessarily need to 'dominate' at one level to succeed at another. Back when Nikolai Khabibulin was holding out from the Coyotes, and playing for the IHL's Long Beach Ice Dogs, the Solar Bears scored 5 on him in (I believe) the only time they met.
Khabi later gets traded to Tampa and the rest is history.
Shots in the 2nd period. 10-10.
Umm....okay. The third period started and they have voice commentary, in English, for what's apparently a soccer game.
Random fact: "tic-tac-toe" has no German equivalent.
What's amusing to me is that I don't speak German, but I can still tell these guys are huge homers.
Red Bull pulls out the win. Turco seems to be 3rd star again. They literally gave him a backpack.
In hindsight, it was a penalty fest. One team or the other was constantly on the power play, so it's kind of hard to gauge Turco at 5-on-5. Would he be an upgrade to Roloson? Would a trashcan filled with sand be an upgrade?

Wow. Didn't realize there were that many. Is that more or less than the days of Lafontaine leading to Lindros?
It seems like there are more "career threatening" concussions in this day and age. Maybe its the improved evaluation and detection processes.

How in the hell do you break up a 1-1 tie with three goals on a major power play, which in the process gives a player a hat trick, but then blow that 4-1 lead to lose 6-5 on a goal with 8.4 seconds left?
Then again, I am talking about Columbus, so I should have known they'd find the answer.
Anyone else get the feeling that the Panthers are a bit of a pretender? They've had an incredibly soft schedule thus far with a **** load of home games and they haven't had any convincing wins this year. They got the nice 2-0 win against the Bruins but then got their **** kicked in the next game 8-0. They beat the Pens 4-3 I guess but other than that, nothing stands out. They have 7 OTL's which is tied for most in the league. They've got a nice little 1st line there but other than that the forward group for the most part is lacking as well. Be curious to see if they start fading a little bit.
