Boston fans must be seriously hating Gags right about now !Another 3-0 lead capped off by the sniper.

Hell, Hamhuis didn't even raise his stick. He just had a dull, expressionless look on his face and showed no emotion. Even for his profile pic on NHL.com, I can't even tell if that's a smile.

What is there to celebrate? Outside of events that transcend the significance of a hockey game (mortal injuries, concussions etc.), winning is the only thing that matters.

The only thing.

The only thing.

At least show emotion. I've seen more emotion out of guys that scored the first goal for a team that just gave up 6 goals before that one, and near the end of the game too.

Man I hate the Canucks. Damn Vigneault is constantly whining about the judges' or the League's decisions in interviews. Such sissies. I really hope the Sharks make it to the finals.

I'd like to see some emotion butnothing drawn out. A fist pump and some intensity is the best way to deal with a goal, something that acknowledges it without losing too much focus.

Beef Invictus · 05-22-2011, 04:21 PM

Niemi wants that one back.

GKJ · 05-22-2011, 04:28 PM

Somewhere, Eric Desjardins just put on a big smirk

PhilaFlyers · 05-22-2011, 04:40 PM

Score a quick one here Sharks. I at least wanna see some good hockey for the last 3 minutes.

GKJ · 05-22-2011, 04:49 PM

Hopefully Lapierre calls Clowe a gutless coward, or whatever Clowe called him

Would I be crazy if I thought Raffi Torres is going to be a prime target for Holmgren on July 1?

He seems like more of an Avery. I'd probably take him well over Carcillo. Probably over Shelley (even though Shelley is the better fighter, I think).

Suddenly the Sedins aren't being questioned anymore.

We're winning this series because of the Sedins.

That's what you call those guys in the black and white stripes in Vancouver, good to know

But seriously the game was ruined by the officials yesterday. The endless trips to the box for both teams was just ridiculous. It's the playoffs, let them play.

I just heard Brian Rafalski retired

Injuries the main reason #Redwings Rafalski shuts down a great career. He played throughout the play-offs without a ACL in his knee

Beef Invictus · 05-23-2011, 05:12 PM

Any word on Modano? That guy's gotta be retiring

Beef Invictus · 05-23-2011, 08:19 PM

Wow, Smith needs to have that. He looked sorta slow getting over to the other post.

Beef Invictus · 05-23-2011, 09:43 PM

Smith has done well playing the puck tonight

Big loss to Detroit in terms of personnel, but that's a hell of a lot of free cap space they have coming off the books, especially with Lidstrom coming off the books as well.

drownedsailors · 05-24-2011, 12:41 AM

Can't believe he's retiring, I really liked him

Whatever though, it's not like he's leaving empty handed, he can still walk into a bar and say "I got three Stanley Cup rings and two silver medals, what do you have B****es"
