Round 1 Game 7: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The video is right after the game from my balcony. You can hear the city take to the streets and miles away a good "OLEEE OLE OLE OLE OLEEEEE!" Downtown was crazier, this is just the suburbs!

Recap:
- Caps played exactly how I thought they would.
- JARO! Though not as busy as the last game, surprisingly enough. Guess we got into their heads.
- HMCS HAL GILL!
- GORGES!
- Seriously, if you don't think Gill and Gorges deserve to share a Conn Smythe you don't understand how many shots those guys blocked. The count was OBSCENE before this game even started. I even thought the shot clock was counting blocked shots otherwise the numbers would have been hilarious.
- Also it hurts a bit when you make a save even with goalie equipment, THOSE GUYS AREN'T WEARING GOALIE EQUIPMENT!!!
- GIONTA IS A GIANT!
- Sorry Bulldogs but uh we want to keep PK...
- What if Mike Green weren't such a colossal fuck up? History will be made.
- Slippy wasn't useless for once!
- HOLY SHIT DOMINIC FUCKING MOORE!
- I just realized this is the second time in Lapierre's life that he assisted on a 3rd period goal that buried a #1 Boudreau-lead team. Last time was the shorthanded Ajay Baines goal that made it 2-1 for the Calder Cup in Game 5.
- Bouhoohoodreau
- Still cheering in the streets
- Bench was full of manhugs!
- Only shaking going on was in the handshake
- "Blood in the beard. Part of the playoff portrait, isn't it?" - Dominic Moore
- Pens will be waaaaaaaaay tougher (though, if they can get to Fleury I have no doubt they'll score more on him).
- We're coming.
- Party like it's 1993!

Round 1 Game 6: Bouhoohoodreau

Boudreau's in shock.

Ovie's shaking as he's drinking from the water bottle.

Semin's still...not there.

Green's gone green.

And the Habs smell like team spirit.

Jaro in the zone. Cammy's on drugs. PK SUBBAN INSERTED AND INSTANT AWESOME! Gorges for Conn Smythe! HMCS Hal Gill for captain (ahoy) now called The Battleship! Bergeron kept far far away from anything not a powerplay (and still sucked)! And how sexy was that 5-on-3 kill that was all Gorges, Gill, and BabyPyatt/Pleky until the puck fumbled it's way to Jaro? SEXY!

The Maxim Lapierre Hat Trick: two dives and a goal.

Stabbity stabby in the heart by Fehr, of course. Whatevs. But Thomas Jagr got it back with the empty netter! (Oh how it's been a long time since we had one of those).

Oh yea, note to Tim Peel: BRIAN GIONTA DOES NOT DIVE! Also BRIAN GIONTA DOESN'T DIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN HE HAS A FUCKING STICK WRAPPED AROUND HIS LEGS! Fuck you Tim Peel.

And before you continue wondering what's up with the Caps powerplay, did it ever cross anyone's mind that maybe, just maybe, the Habs PK is better? After all, they had a shitload of practice this year.

Game seven on Wednesday. I'm so depressed though... I have a day off (which is good), BUT the building committee scheduled a meeting...ON GAME SEVEN! Dying here...

Go Habs Go. Don't make me explode the garage ok?

Double-header Survivor Playoffs 2010: The Buffalo Sabres and the Nashville Predators


So long Buffaslugs. Sorry we couldn't have had the honor of destroying you in the playoffs but eh, the Bruins will do. Best goalie in the league? Check. But it doesn't matter if the rest of your team is playing in a playoff series with the will and determination of a Tuesday night game against Carolina.

So much for this being the year eh Ruff? Gut check time.

And the Chicago Blackhawks just eliminated the Nashville Predators to set up a round 2 rematch with the Canucks. Too bad for the Preds, they did their best, but the Hawks were just better. I still don't trust Niemi, and if Rinne were behind a stronger team, he'd be set for a good run to the Cup.
