Awesome. Now Colin Miller down and out after a knee-on-knee.

Anyone want to play defense for the Bruins?

 

[fred_1_15301]

    Lets Go Pens!!!!

 

[Wooderson]

That Ryan goal was nice. 

 

[Wooderson]

Boston is getting out worked in the 2nd. 

 

[RUSF18]

Perfect timing for the dumbest penalty in sports.

 

[Billy Bats]

Perfect timing for the dumbest penalty in sports.

Didn't see it but I'm assuming it's delay of game? 

 

[RUSF18]

First playoff game as a father and couldn't even make it to to the second period without getting superstitious about my daughter's outfit. It's a sickness.

 

[RUSF18]

Didn't see it but I'm assuming it's delay of game? 

Naturally.

 

[Bill Brasky]

what a lazy 5 on 3.  gross 

 

[kupcho1]

Big kill for the Habs 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Boring Craig Anderson to death appears to be an interesting strategy. Let's see if it works.

 

[Bill Brasky]

no 2nd period shots for the ruins.  wow

poor Lumbus

 

[Billy Bats]

BIG stop there on Kessel. 

 

[wilked]

Bruins down too many players...starting to show 

 

[RUSF18]

what a lazy 5 on 3.  gross 

Best chance can't be a long slap shot.

 

[HellToupee]

no 2nd period shots for the ruins.  wow

poor Lumbus

Pasta even had a breakaway

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Pasta even had a breakaway

That was in the first period, though.

 

[HellToupee]

Charlie McAvoy playing in his 1st NHL game leads the Bruins with 17:09 ice time

[Bill Brasky]

Charlie McAvoy playing in his 1st NHL game leads the Bruins with 17:09 ice time

crazy.  how does he look?

 

[Billy Bats]

Naturally.

They should just extend the netting to the blue lines, anything off the net is still in play. 

 

[RUSF18]

Good news, Habs fans. She spit up during the intermission.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Shots in goal are now even at 1 in Ottawa.

 

[wilked]

crazy.  how does he look?

Looks fantastic. Sharp passes, closes space well. He doesn't look gunshy at all

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Pens flying in the 2nd. 

 

[RUSF18]

Brendan Smith having a hell of a game.

 

[RUSF18]

As is Vesey, BTW.

 

[wilked]

Oh #### ya!

 

[rockaction]

Wow. Marchand!

 

[Dickie Dunn]

McAvoy was a beast on that shift keeping the puck in.

 

[RUSF18]

Markov pulling a Sidney Marchand.

[Dickie Dunn]

I'm just going to pretend that second period never happened.

 

[The_Man]

Watching Rask play like that is why I was happy Caps drew TO in this round 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

All right ... one down. @Bill Brasky ... let's do this!!!

 

[AcerFC]

As is Vesey, BTW.

They all played well enough, but Fast stuck out in my mind

 

[wilked]

This game was about:

1. Tuukka - hell of a game

2. McAvoy - first game ever, and he dominated.  19 years old...

 

[Wooderson]

Thornton out 

Couture in 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Are all of those Oil fans wearing jerseys ... a la Cal-Gary? That's pretty impressive.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Perfect timing for the dumbest penalty in sports.

I don't think the call is dumb -- it's a rule that prevents teams from simply having a very easy out to getting the puck out of their defensive zone, or having a great way to allow for an opportune line change.

But treating it the same as slashing or hooking with a 2 minute minor is indeed harsh, and can cause a huge advantage on something that may have been done purely by mistake/out of a player's control. And ironically, is even worse for a team killing a penalty as that's when I would imagine it's most probable to happen as teams try to clear the zone quickly any way they can -- so as a result, penalizes an already penalized team that much more.

I've seen the suggestion that they should treat it like icing, which I think is the right move.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Love to see the Oilers jumping to a 2 goal lead over the Sharks early. 

 

[Zegras11]

Can't win with Dubnyk!

Exactly. It makes all the sense in the world because icing the puck is literally delaying the game.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Monster save by Jake Allen.

Monster save by Jake Allen. 

Elliott in the net and it's 5-1 Wild right now

 

[Ghost Rider]

Ryan Miller in the net and it's 5-1 Wild right now

That's more like it. 

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Blues PP was fine after Shattenkirk was traded. Not so much without Stastny. 

 

[northern exposure]

Yup. Theme for the Oilers playoffs is #OrangeCrush.

 

[Zegras11]

@Bill Brasky head is exploding 

 

[Zegras11]

Allen is doing his impression of Jiggy vs Wild.
