Of all the great canadien hockey lore, their super series with the Russians in the early 70s is their proudest moment
If you ever get a chance watch it
You'll never think of Canada the same way again

First, get pissed that Russia is getting better at hockey than you are
Then, invite them to a friendly tournament
Agree to some terms like allowing them some home games, but do it bitching the whole time
Because, you know, they should just be happy they GET to play you
Series starts, treat them like little snotty cousins, laugh at their gear, laugh at their faces, etc

Then get your asses handed to you in a couple straight
Probably the greatest FU two games in sports history ...
Then have everyone in the country turn on you, start making excuses about why it's happening .. But most importantly, turn it from hockey into WAR
The last games were ridiculous, you had players openly threatening coaches players and refs.
Biggest decision was hey, let's take out that guy we can't stop. Don't play better defense, I'm saying TAKE HIM OUT
So Bobby Clarke decides he wants to be hero, and mid-game, sneaks up from behind on a rush, and Paul bunyans his already shaky ankle.
Instant national hero. They never apologize or back off it They truly think it was genius and deserved.
Whatever it takes to win a hockey game.
That's why it's so funny when they bitch about American goon hockey.
You remember how they play. Our kids never forget games they play against Canadiens
They are the most polite dirty bastards in the game.

Wasn't that the same series where JP Parise went ballistic and all but attacked a ref with his stick??

Looked it up and found this link with a video of it.....

Here's a quick break down of our roster on CMD's 2nd goal:

Zach put that puck right in to the keepers chest
Pomm sends it towards Rochester (and yeah, they are playing in Edmonton)
Nino doesn't shoot at the open net. He takes it behind and goes for the wrap around
Coyle's stick breaks
Granny is staring at the open net wondering when someone will be open to shoot at it so he can get an assist
Mikko is wandering around looking for his defensive responsibility in our offensive zone
White slashes the puck and then drifts around the ice bitching about it while they score

Zucker scores
Hanzel scores

What did I miss?

YES DUCKS!!!!!
I usually hate them, but they seem to be the last of the old bucks, hanging on for dear life.
They have some nasty nasty men on that team, refusing to go quietly.

BTW- Poor Leo and I mean that. He sells a team to buy one with ambitions of winning it all. Puts his eggs (and cash) in to the hands of a guy that's the next 'great one'.

Meanwhile, his new toy toils in shit while his old one is one their way. Gotta stick in his craw.

So true ... thought he was getting rid of a clunker, instead, they are the prototype
And he bought a lemon so far.

Sens/Rangers playing out like I expected.
The only series that isn't one-goal nail-biters.

Ovie moved to third line ...

I saw they moved Ovie down and thought about what Gorgy said the other day on KFAN. I almost have to agree with this time too....
He said Ovie scores all his goals during the season, but come playoffs he always disappears. Unlike Sindey, who seems to raise his level of play in the big moments.

If the Preds somehow get through these penalties without giving up any goals, the Blues are done!

Ovies got 89 playoff pts in 94 games.
That's not awful.
Gotta remember who Gorg is.

Cindy does have 142 in 134 games, so yeah, he's a dominant playoff performer.
When she's not rolling around or whining or slashing someones finger off.

Holy shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
It just got CRAZIER

Getzlaf is Mark Messier reincarnated.
He WILLS stuff to happen

What an incredible game, in an incredible series.
The future of this Oil team is looking scary-good
Can't really even fault them for blowing leads, its just an amazing bunch of players refusing to quit, no matter what the score is.
The Wild would have tapped out of this series a week ago. Too stressful for their little tickers.

Agree with Getzlaf. They have a lot of young talent up there, but he is the straw that stirs the drink on that team. They are going to be good for a while.
