Like Andrew said, they played like they were on a perpetual power-play. Disgusting... then again half the team was injured.

In short it was not Belfours fault. I think on Coaches Corner, Cherry correctly pointed out that one of the first two goals was the defensemen's fault(putting his stick on the ice to block a shot), not Belfour's .

WILD BABY! WIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLD! Oh man I can't even begin to tell you how jazzed I am over the Wilds amazing 3-2 overtime victory! Brunette played Roy like a fiddle with that goal! It was pure magic on ice, not only was he getting poked by two Avalanche but he was mere inches from Roys stick when he pulled that puck back and slid it in to close the series! Take that Foresberg you cheap son of a bitch!

And I am also quite glad that the Canucks won as well, as I think the Wild fare much better against them then we do against the Avalanche, so this upcoming series should be kick ass as well, plus I like the Canucks.

And I almost kinda half root for the Stars to beat Aneheim, even though it would be tough for the Wild to beat them if we do beat the Cancucks, but the pure hysteria that would explode in the state of minnesota of a Western Chamionship between the Minnesota Wild and the team that broke our hearts the Dallas Stars, well I can't even explain how amazing that would be.

As for the East I got to root for the Sens to go all the way. I don't really care for the Flyers, or the Bolts, or the Devils. But the Sens need a Economical boost, and a Championship visit would be great for them.

I can't wait for Friday, Game One Wild vs. Canucks, its going to be awesome!

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for too! That is going to be some loud home games for the Wild! It's going to be nuts if it happens. And it better damn well happen. I was happy for the Ducks sweeping and all, but now they're up against my team. The last 3 games of the Stars/Oilers series gelled the Stars for the playoffs, so I think Dallas is coming prepared. Can't wait for Thursday night.

Belfour played good the whole series, Kyo. It was the defense above everything else. If they can get so many shots on net, they're bound to get a goal, and they did. Either way, no excuses, the Leafs played like shit and Philly deserves to go on.

No! It was Belfour's fault they got outshot 65-30 in that one game!

Seriously though, 6 goals is not good, epecially in game 7. That's exactly the type of thing people criticize Cujo for. And Cujo's not a 38 year old drunk, which is kind of a bonus.

I still feel icky rooting for Philadelphia but... that was a brrrrilliant result last night! I am so happy the Leafs are gone! Now I can go back to my regularly scheduled hating of the Flyers.

Last night I went to the Expos home opener, so I could not watch the Leafs-Flyers match... and since they do not show hockey scores on the out of town scoreboard no-one knew the score. But some guy scrawled the score on a piece of cardboard and walked around the stadium holding it up and got great cheers from us Toronto hating partisans!

Strider: I think in game seven, dude got pissed. Wouldn't you? Why try?

SGGG: Dude, I saw the highlights for the Montreal game. Holy fuck there were people in the stands!!! Like, a lot of people!!! Finally, some support! Whatever, it'll end as I'm sure this'll be their last year. I'll be going to one game this year (was supposed to do it last year; plans didn't pan out).

???

Baseball has been going on for a month now and the Expos are just now having their first home game?!

[burgundy]

They played their first homestand in San Juan.

[Clash!]

I knew they played there, but I did not know they played there for their home games the first month. They should move them there.

[sggg]

No they shouldn't. They were getting under 14k a game in San Juan. It was a joke. They should fix baseball because Montréal is one of the best baseball markets out there. We'll see what happens when RICO is settled.
