A ridiculous 10-3 game in Philadelphia featured seven power-play goals – four by the Penguins, who chased Ilya Bryzgalov and scored five unanswered goals in the second period to take control of Game 4.
The Penguins avoid an ignominious sweep and head home for Game 5 on Friday.
In Ottawa, a 2-2 goaltender’s duel between Henrik Lundqvist and Craig Anderson ended with Kyle Turris’s spectacular wrister 2:42 into overtime.
Line of the Night from habsfanO: Flyers played tonight like this Dick Clark thing really upset them
Loading ...
Good Morning all especially Guy! Can the Pens get themselves back in their series? Flyers goaltending is kind of scarey. As for the Sens, how the hell is this team doing it? I compared the two rosters and I’m left scratching my head. Proves how much I don’t know about this game. Good thing I don’t gamble.
———————————–
Please feel free to call me Jim.
Man I hope the sens win.
[Disclaimer]: I’m a hockey fan. I care about the habs, but probably not as much as you.
I have to agree with Brian Burke here:
Burke told USA Today’s Kevin Allen on Wednesday that the media’s focus on the incidents that have happened on the ice are taking away from the ‘third-round intensity’ and drama of the first-round of the postseason.
“This is like people complaining about the rain at Woodstock,” Burke told USA Today. “Yes, there was lots of mud, but it was the greatest music gathering in history.”
“I hope we continue to nail the people who are crossing the line,” Burke told USA Today. “But this is a small number of incidents, and it’s unfortunate that non-hockey media is focusing on that. But what I see is great hockey. It’s awesome.”
“Nine times of 10 when players cross the line, it’s emotional,” Burke explained to USA Today. “It’s not cognitive. (Washington’s Nicklas) Backstrom didn’t say the other night, I’m going to go in and cross-check this guy. Aaron Asham didn’t say to himself. I’m going to cross-check Brayden Schenn in the throat. It’s adrenaline. It’s reaction.”
Burke also has no issue with the work Shanahan has done assessing incidents and handing out his decisions. “You can’t make people happy, so just do the job,” Burke said. “And I think Brendan is doing that. It’s impossible for fans to be rationale at this time of year. It’s impossible for Detroit fans not to be outraged when Shea Weber wasn’t suspended (for slamming Henrik Zetterberg’s head into the glass). But I don’t think he should have been.”
I see the Boone jinx was alive and kicking tonight.
Wonder what Burke will give up in order to get Luongo in a Leaf uniform…..
The CN Tower probably!

In short, a league commissioner is the action man for the Board of Governors.
They tell him what they want done and he works to make it happen through his subordinates while making sure that individual franchises play by the rules.
******** Translated if you haven’t won the Stanley Cup in 40 years your NHL team is becoming irrelevant in a sports mad city long behind MLB, NFL and NBA teams, you just tell the commissioner(who you gave a new contract at 7 plus million per) to make it happen and the rules are bent sufficiently to action the command.
Lmao PJ improvising and Kirk Muller just smirking to himself. Awesome
What happened. I hate when I miss BJ Stock’s commentary.
Yep, not tonight. Sigh. Richards, you moron.
so do you not like the Canucks or are you a Kings fan? whichever it maybe I also hope that Kings go all the way…
Argh, have a bad feeling about the Nucks’ game.

I wish there was no blue line, such an offensive killer.
Problem with not having a blue line is you’d probably see a lot of cherry picking and that kills the fun of the game.
The either you have to have someone cover him making it 4 on 4, or you let him go and its 5 on 4.

Canucks look like the Habs have this whole past season. Listless. Can’t chain 3 passes together (which is surprising). Lose most puck battles. Some extremely poorly-timed defensive fails. Seems like they have too many 3rd-4th line players on their team (Weise, Ebett, Bitz?) and little offensive depth this year.
Good thing the Habs are rebuilding. Looks like the Canuck’s window to win the Cup is closing fast.
I hope there won’t be any rioting in Vancouver tonight.
Fear not – the fun tap in YVR is shut tight tonight
ALWAYS Habs -

2 and a half periods to go till the alain vigneault rumours to montreal are in full force.
I hope they will remain rumours. I don’t have an answer to who should be coach but Vigneault just seems like Martin again. Might as well just rehire him (as Pat Hickey thinks is the only sensible idea). They get the math but they dont get the motivation. Their players never seem to be throwing it all on the line when it matters. Vancouver suck just like we suck but they suck for a few weeks longer.
Wouldn’t believe it possible since Molson made it quite clear he wants to make change not just rehash the past and its adherence to mediocrity.
Think any decent free agent would come here to play with JM and his no offense systems?
Not a chance!

Don’t even know how there can be coaching rumours since the habs are probably 1-2 months away from naming a g.m. Who in turn will hire his own coach.
When was the last GM/Coach double duty guy – I mean other than Bob Gainey who stepped down from his cloud long to whip the team he assembled into shape. They lost 8 in a row to end the year. Put the hammer down he did. Was Jacques Martin ever coach and GM in Florida? Trying to think of the last guy who did both.
Seem to recall that the owner/team in Florida didn’t want JM coaching but he was still under contract so made him GM as a cost control exercise.

And shot it back down the ice for…
Wait, we already did this.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
price would have deep frozen the puck with his mind, suspended it in mid air, then round housed it into oblivion.
No, he wouldn’t have. You must be out of your mind.
Obviously, if Halak was in nets, Turris would’ve realized he couldn’t score and would’ve just left the puck there, gone to the dressing room, and cried the rest of the game.
How long was Turris on the trade block?
Way to go Goatier!
Ottawa gave up David Rundblad, a very highly-rated prospect. Maybe Phoenix would have asked for Subban.
Mike Boone
Hockey Inside/Out blogge
Gazette City columnist
mboone@montrealgazette.com
Oh yeah, I forgot David Rundblad is valued equally to PK Subban.
Boone,
An unproven commodity was given up not a proven NHL’er.
Rundblad didn’t play in Phoenix this year
Maybe Bournival or another “prospect” would have pried Turrris out of Phoenix.
A center with some size would have filled the hole left by the ghost of Gomez.
Just another case of Goatier not even asking because in his arrogance he had everything figured out!

How the F do you know he didn’t ask??
And if you suggest Bournival and Rundblad have equal trade value, you have no clue mate. Absolutely no clue.
Also, how would you fit in Plekanec, Eller, Gomez, Turris and other centres on 1 team this season? Why would you trade valuable pieces for another center when it is clear this this team needs scoring wingers.
Excuse me Cobber!
I forgot the omniscient, unpaid chief of amateur scouting was online!
Its called depth! No team will part with decent wingers unless you have something to offer!
If anyone has no clue MATEY its someone who defends Goatier with his record of trades for Halak and Cammalleri where other GM’s were quoted as saying they wished they knew these players were available.

no your right the bank is boring..thats why they call it the building fun forgot..
You know, even if this Ottawa game is exciting, the fact that it’s being played in Ottawa still makes it kinda dull. And I love Ottawa as a city, would even move there. But games in that arena are just dull for some reason.
Maybe it’s Cole….
Love that Bylsma took that timeout during a 10-3 game.
Weird how they’re cutting back now after that crazy hockey at the start of the series, Just threw 4 guys out. I guess that’s a good thing.
If Laviolette was a jerk for chewing gum, I guess Bylsma is a genius for calling timeout in a 10-3 game ? Boone logic, logical since he’s from Park Ex.
Aw, come on. That’s a huge generalization D:
The Park Ex comment ?
Yeah, I read that and felt the sting there :O
It’s a neighborly dig, I was also born there. Lotsa smoke there in the 70s at the piggery…..
I don’t get it, did mention that he thought the timeout was good..
Laviolette is a jerk in general..
I think he’s a good coach, intense yes but still a lot better than what the Canadiens have had since Demers
Still on the Ugly theme
Sources say Bobby Smith next Canadiens GM
Marc Crawford will be his coach if He changes his hair style, gets a deeper voice and makes a learning to talk at the better frenglish merci bow cup

Actually think those two would be good choices for GM and Coach but
Imagine those press conferences with Bobby Smith and Marc Crawford speaking there best attempts at french, would probably be hard to watch. Sort of like Bob Gainey and Larry Robinson they tried but its hard to watch.

“Hockey Night in Canada, The Forum, New Years Eve

Former Habs who always made the effort – guys like Gainey and Robinson – it’s huge in PQ !
Bobby Smith is an interesting name for GM – no idea what his credentials are, but having to listen to Crawford … I could see that voice of his taking its toll over the course of a season.
Just sayin’ …
ALWAYS Habs -
D Mex
Actually he was GM of Pheonix Coyotes for 5 years, now he is owner and president commander in chief of the Halifax Mooseheads in the QMJHL
Yes i do agree Crawford’d voice at the pressers would start to get annoying real quick
They both speak french all be it not fluently, but they both can speak conversational french
