Doughty was terrible last night, got burned more than once and making turnovers. Also trying to be Bobby Orr got caught in the Sharks red zone giving San Jose odd man rushes.

yayyyy soccer on ice is back! Long live the Neutral zone trap and referees who "let them play"! Goals are so boring!

See what happens tonight, I think there has been some great goaltending. I haven't looked up shots on goal, but watched the Blackhawks hit the post 5 times in game one vs Vancouver.

No way man. However the prettiest girls in the Dominion of Canada reside the La Belle Province Du Quebec. I spent an entire summer on French Immersion, (God Bless the Canadian Taxpayer) in Montreal, Trois-Rivières & Québec City, remarkable!

Its working so far!!!! Man what a game!!

If they go the distance, that will be about the longest I've gone without trimming it.

Results were mixed.

I wonder how long the team can go with Datsyuk almost singlehandedly carrying them. Today's victory pretty much guarantees that we won't see Zetterberg until Game 5 at the earliest. I am kind of not expecting to see him in the first round at all.

Optimus Prime · April 17th, 2011, 06:24 AM

Packy, even with Stoll & Kopitar out, Doughty carries his team when it matters most. Shea Weber & Drew Doughty, hands-down the best in the game, period. It's a shame they play on shit franchises. Oh yeah add Duncan Keith too.

"Doughty had two goals and two assists, Quick made 34 saves and the Kings beat the San Jose Sharks 4-0 in Game 2 on Saturday night to even the first-round series at one game apiece."

"We had a lot of adversity before this game with two of our top centers out," Doughty said. "I guess a lot of people didn't think we had a chance tonight. I guess we showed those people wrong. We played a hard, solid team game. That's what wins you playoff games."

Not this year OP, L A has a strong defense. Mitchell and Scuderi have been solid all season long. They rarely make glaring mistakes and turnovers (like Doughty) and they stay home. Doughty had some growing pains big time this season, he's good no doubt, and young. But the next Paul Coffey talk stopped this year, at least for now. Im glad he picked his game up last night.

WingsFan · April 17th, 2011, 08:19 PM

Chicago just scored and Ken Daniels is calling the game on VS. Very starnge hearing him sound excited for the goal.

Optimus Prime · April 18th, 2011, 06:12 AM

Vancouver may sweep Chicago too sweet. Bruins down 0-2 to Montreal, deep hole recovery unlikely.

Hannibal · April 18th, 2011, 12:44 PM

Marian Hossa has no goals, no assists, and he's -3. What a shock LOL

The league needs to get over the octopus toss. I'm waiting for them to ban the 30 foot tall "Al the Octopus" that comes down from the rafters for pre-game festivities.

lineygoblue · April 18th, 2011, 07:07 PM

I think the NFL needs to ban the "Lambeau Leap"

*JD* · April 18th, 2011, 11:17 PM

3-1 at the end of the 2nd.

Mike · April 19th, 2011, 12:58 AM

Great road win for the Wings tonight. Hopefully they can sweep and get a little rest.

Hossa is talented, unfortunately he has a long history of not showing up in the playoffs....you'd have to damn crazy as a GM to lock this guy up longterm.
