      and let's not get ahead of ourselves...lmfao...

      Buffalo's tough...and it's in their house in game 6...

      this might have been a backbreaker though...

        I was thinking the same thing this morning...

        How close Buffalo came, especially on that breakaway, to being UP 3-2 and going home for game 6....

            They're down 3 defencemen...it is a miracle that team.

            What character.

            How about Staal!

            Guy is dangerous every time he is on the ice. He is tough, can shoot like Bobby Hull, and skate like Pavel Bure!

            How Gretz left him off the Canadian team is beyond me.

              I was watching Staal last night...

              and you are right...

              he reminded me so much of Francis with the puck...but he's much more physical...

              Bret Yamaguchi with a score with 3 minutes left...

              again...you get the impression that Buffalo wasted their opportunity...

              Buffalo came out tonight like a house on fire...

              and their Defense tonight has been incredible...

              But Carolina has woken up on D...

              what a fucking series...

              other than the 4-0 shellacking in Buffalo...

              it's been everything I expected...

              Carolina is so dangerous in overtime...

                Buffalo wins...here comes game 7...

                in Carolina...

                wow...I gotta give Buffalo all the credit in the world...they played an absolute fantastic game...

                  Dora to Bump Stanley Cup Playoff Game




                  One month after a tricky logjam with the Ottawa Senators' home playoff schedule, Dora the Explorer may be involved in another head-to-head matchup with the Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers.

                  The Dora the Explorer stage show is booked at Rexall Place for June 17, the same day the National Hockey League has scheduled a possible Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.

                  A Northlands Park spokeswoman told the Edmonton Journal that the league, Rexall Place and organizers of the Dora show were all working together to come up with a solution.

                  In the second round, the Senators delayed Game 2 against Buffalo because the popular children's character had five shows scheduled at Scotiabank Place on May 6 and 7.

                  The Oilers will play either the Carolina Hurricanes or the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup Final.

                      If these Sabres win tonight, it could be the single most grittiest playoff performance in history.

                      I can think of other workmanlike teams that had success, but they benefitted from once in a lifetime goaltenders emerging (Patrick Roy).

                      Although their goaltending is good, that is not the reason the Sabres are here, on the verge of possibly making the Stanley Cup Finals.

                        I do have a little problem from the "courageous" referees who dare to call penalties in OT and 5 on threes in the playoffs.

                        They know full well, that if they don't, others will be taking their jobs as the playoffs wind down.

                        It has been exciting though.

                        I think they should call the open ice stuff and let the players win battles in the corners, etc.

                        Lacrosse has rules whereby if you enter the semi-circle in front of the crease (a large area - 20-30 ft) you can be hammered.

                        Something similar could work for hockey, I think.

                        Again, with a slightly bigger ice surface as well

                          It is pretty damn frustrating to have the game ultimately decided on a dive...but such is life...

                          Miller's been really good...but really...that entire team has played such a fundamentally sound defense...that it makes him look perhaps better than he has been...

                          Tonights game should be interesting with both coaches harping at each other...

                          This series has been everything I expected it to be...

                            Ruff opened his mouth up at the press conference...

                            and I can guarantee you that every player on the 'Canes roster will want to shove those words down his throat...

                            So the question is...will Buffalo be the more loose team...

                            or will the Canes come out like barnburners...

                            should be interesting to find out...

                              In the split second that it happened, they had to call it, especially given the call in the third that went the other way.

                              Maybe they should have bumpers in the corner that shoot the puck out like pinball, to avoid hits from behind/dives

                              That will get the US TV audience in a hurry.

                                I think Ruff's words will inspire his team more than the other way around.

                                he has been doing this all year, and you see the results...
