nah, just you. that last penalty was a situation where he either trips up the guy or let's him get a shot at an open net. no win either way.

I'm pretty sure he was responsible for the first Rangers goal, too. But I could be remembering it wrong.

Wow two goals for the rookie Henrique, including the series winner in double OT

NJ got a good one in him, boy

lol ya...It's hilarious how such an insanely small % of the boston population were dropping the n-bomb yet it just gets associated with everyone. Same with the riot in Vancouver like you mentioned. Funny how society works.

Ho hum. Phoenix plays another OT game and wins again. Great play by Marty Hanzal to flip it to the ageless one Ray Whitney..

You might as well prepare for 60+ minutes of entertainment with Phoenix.

I was just thinking... Seattle's gonna get the best gift since Quebec moved to Colorado.

Word is that Pheonix has a buyer lined up who intends to keep the franchise in Pheonix long term.

They're apparently in negotiations.

I still don't see how they're going to do it. I've heard from people who vacation there frequently, or have (or know someone who has) a winter home there that the line of thought of people in the area with respect to the Coyotes is "I like going to the games, but I'd never pay for one." Supposedly they paper the arena like crazy and people have gotten all too used to go for free for the last 15 years that a serious culture change regarding the casual fan base is what's needed to make it remotely viable.
