They've came down from 2-0 before, they can do it again.

FELIPE NO

Alright, I'll admit it. I was far too quick to give up hope. Taken into account though, it was less than an hour after hearing the absolute worse news a hockey fan could imagine.

Jussi played just fine. If he can keep that up, we can win this. The rest of the team however? Terrible. Simply terrible. It was embarassing to watch. Not only were they giving him absolutely no help, they couldn't put one in the net to save their lives. It seems as though the wind got sucked right out of their sails. They wern't playing like they can. What we watched tonight was not the same team that beat Anaheim.

Saturday will be different. Jussi has proven himself to be competant. He's no Roli, but he can hold it together.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

They came back from 2-0 due to absolutely stellar goaltending. Markkanen was decent, but letting in five goals isn't stellar, I don't care how bad you were left out to dry. Sometimes goalies have to save ones they really shouldn't to keep their team in the game. Ward and Roloson have done that. Markkanen hasn't, and hasn't really shown that he can very often.

Markkanen's play aside, the team plays differently in front of him than they do in front of Roloson. They don't have the same confidence in Markkanen, and there's no way to fake that.

You are 100% right. It was a completely different team. They need to fix that. Play like Roli was in net. Fuck I don't care if they have to dress Jussi is Roli's jersey. If they can get past the fear that they had of having him in net, they have a chance.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's the spirit. Never meant to come off as a dick. Whether your team wins or not remains to be seen, but they sure as hell aren't dead yet.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

LOL "playing with broken stick" is the worst penalty I've ever heard of.

Carolina hasn't scored yet? What?! I'm tempted to start watching the game now....

Is Edmonton playing really well?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Dopefish · Jun 10, 2006, 08:55 PM

I haven't been paying full attention but it has been a very good game.

A referreeing fuck up kept Edmonton from being up 2-0. Cam Ward was laying on his back after making some save, and the puck was between his legs, and an Oiler picked it up and buried it without issue, but the ref blew his whistle beforehand.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Mucknuggle · Jun 10, 2006, 08:58 PM

Damn. Edmonton must be pissed about that. I bet that the Albertans from my lab were screaming when that happened.

Great game all around. The Oilers came out roaring, and the most definately had to. Looks like we will be in for a much more competitive series than I thought after game 2. Of course, they need to even the series up on Monday. That said, who thinks it'll end up a best of 3?

How ya doing, buddy?

Too bad he was in the crease as well as interfering with the goalie. The referees made the right call the first time by denying Smyth the goal. Unbelievable.

Too bad it doesn't matter if he was in the crease. And I would really like to know how that was interference. He skated in, got the puck, and dumped it in. The idea of Smyth hanging around the crease is not a new concept by any means.

Dragoon, you were right. I'm not afraid to admit it. Faith +1.

You could tell they were getting really tired, but damn. Last ditch effort and all, but still couldn't do it

Good game. Markkanen made some spectacular saves, but Edmonton's ineffective use of the power play (especially during that lengthy 5-on-3) really let them down.

What a pathetic passing attempt by the Carolina player. He blew the game for the Hurricanes. I hope his team gives him a lot of shit in the locker room. The Hurricanes' goalie didn't stand a chance.

Yea let's have the whole team berate one of their teammates. That should be great for morale!

Little Brenty Brent Brent · Local time: Jun 14, 2006, 08:54 PM

As a goalie, whenever someone tells me I didn't have a chance to make a save I want to hit them. There's always a chance; don't insult him by claiming otherwise.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

acid · Local time: Jun 14, 2006, 10:04 PM

I honestly do not think I have ever screamed as hard as I did when Pisani scored. I can barely talk now.

This is going to be a best of 3. The Oil are not going to lose the cup on home ice. The fans simply won't let them.

If anyone was watching the CBC feed, after Pisani scored they showed a lingering shot of a little boy, probably about 4 in a Canes jersey in the stands. He looked like he was about to cry.

I want that for my wallpaper.

Never give up hope Acid. I don't know if the Oilers will win this series, but until either team hoists that Cup, don't give up the hope.

I sure as hell thought the Oilers could still take it when down 3-1, and I'm not even a fan.

In sports when trailing big deficits, you need to chip away. You took game 5, now if you win game 6 at home, it's back to 0-0 again. The winner takes all. The Oilers gotta take one game at a time, and stay focused and confident.

I don't care that no team has ever won a Cup finals when trailing 3-1(I don't think). It's no longer 3-1, it's 3-2. Whole new game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Fire On Ice · Jun 15, 2006, 03:49 PM

A short handed, overtime winner in game 5 of the finals. Wow Pisani, I am super impressed, excellent forechecking and a stupid, stupid move by the Carolina player. It's just a shame that the Oilers won't have a chance to win at home.

Holy fuck. That's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever read. Quit trying to talk like you're getting an interview on ESPN. Want to talk about how they should think outside the box? Or maybe revolutionize the paradigm?
