Who's your team?

Stars / Sharks: 3-0
Wings / Avalanche : 3-0
Penguins / Rangers :3-0

I don't remember seeing this before, 3 series at 3-0, in the second round. The Sharks are definitely going to have to step it up a few notches, to prolong this series.

How about those Penguins? 7-0 in the playoffs. WOW!

Speaking of fans, what happened to the Dallas fans last night? During the game they were showing the stadium and there were quite a few empty seats even though it was a sold out game. In the third period they mentioned that people in the upper bowl were moving into the seats down below and the upper bowl looked empty.

Good game tonight! You guys brought more energy than we did!

As for the games.... well, the people in Dallas apparently have a shedload of disposable income, to buy tix and not attend!

Man of hte lower bowl tix are corporate holders, and many of them are just clueless about when the games are... a real head scratcher.

Add into that, that the Stars are *still* fighting for recognition amongst the Cowboys, the Mavericks, and the Rangers... Hockey tends to get a bit lost in the shuffle. But I'm working on that!

See you on Game 5 in SJ!

Nice Sweep dead things! They just trounced all over Colorado in this series.

...and, nice win Rangers! Keep the series alive! (not that I am rooting for any one team, just means more hockey).

T.D. You and your jersey are welcome in the rowdy section so long as you can take a little ribbing... It's all in good fun anyway. Not once have I seen anyone get rude with any specific fan, except that guy a few years ago that was flipping everyone off. He went home soaked in beer and soda with popcorn and cotton candy stuck to him.

Off to see game 5 at The Tank!

Let's hope the Sharks came home ready to play...

PLease take this the right way... both teams came to play, and both competed hard... but *I* feel very cheated on that 1st Morrow goal. I have yet to see a "distinct kicking motion".

All I saw was a puck go in off of a trailing rear skate as he was trying to slow for the crease.

Stars should have had 3 at the end of regulation.

Your guys may have poured it on and come up with three goals as well, so I am not saying we would have one it in regulation, but I feel disgusted that the 1st goal was disallowed.

2nd one, that was fine. Clear cut. I saw why.

1st one though... no way that was kicked into the net. It was a rebound off of a net crashing Morrow.

Game 6 is now on... congrats on the win!

As a somewhat neutral party in this (even though I'm cheering for the Sharks since they put the Flames out), this is what I saw. He was skidding to a stop, if he hadn't pulled his back foot forward, he would have fallen on his butt. It was his natural reaction to be sliding that foot forward, and the puck just happened to hit his foot at the same time. However, when the puck hit his skate it stayed with his foot, and when he turned to face the net, his skate redirected it. I think it was this redirection they didn't like.

Personally, I think it was a bad call. In slow motion, it looks like a deliberate redirection. At game speed, there's no way he reacted that quick, he didn't even know where the puck was until he felt it on his foot. By then, his body was already set up to turn to face the net. Either way, one team was going to be upset about that one. The Sharks would have been upset if it counted and the Stars were upset that it didn't. On to game 6.

Nice win Philly! Now I'm going over to my next door neighbor's house to rub it in a bit. She's a huge Habs fan. We are both huge hockey fans and constantly bugging each other about the other teams failures, and then bugging just as much when our own teams are doing well. Of course, when my Flames lost to SJ, she was over fairly quickly to make sure that I knew my team was out, and got a bit of good ribbing in. It's all in good fun.

First off, I know this isn't the "correct" place for this, but given the topic of this thread, I feel it fits in much better here:

Quite funny. It was well written. With quotes from real players, it makes it humorous reading.

And, the Flyers and Stars both stay alive after going 3-0.
