That i agree on, he needs to work on his balance and overall awareness to avoid collisions. Like i said earlier, he ju can't handle his speed and power yet. He went from 185 to 230 pounds in just a few years, i honestly don't think he has anything dirty in him.

LOL At Therrien spotting Samuelsson and Slater peaking at the Habs practice this morning and screaming at them to fluff up.

[philou21]

Crazy game yesterday in MTL! 10 goals in 6 min in the second period. I really thought the Habs were done at 4-4 but the super hero Rene Bourque changed all that. I don't know what that guy ate but that was not the same Bourque I've seen all season. I guess he's trying to have is ticket for next season.

On another note, Derek Dorsett was a real a-hole yesterday. Looked frustrated and was running his mouth at everyone and he even did this http://25stanley.com/derek-dorsett-envo ... adien.html Title is saying he did that on purpose to the kid but my guess is that he was doing that to the players. I mean, even someone like that wouldn't do that to a kid...I hope.

[Peter_Doherty]

I also hope - and think the spray wasn't meant for the kid. The "spear" and headbutt was just out of frustration, and thankfully it looks like he didn't really hit either of them. Crazy game, was gonna go to sleep at 1-4, suddenly 4-4. Horrible defending throughout the game from especially Rangers, bad hit by Moore which should see him get a 2 game ban aswell i think. It was very similar to Prusts hit except it wasn't late but instead he hit more of the head. Not as bad as Seabrook on Backes so the 2 game ban should be easy for the NHL.

[philou21]

Moore will get 2 games probably. At least Weise seems alright. Saw stars for a couple of seconds but he was alright.

[Peter_Doherty]

Yeah it's official now, 2 games for Moore. Not a surprise though, they couldn't rly give him anything else without looking stupid (Well, more stupid ))

[Peter_Doherty]

HELL YEAH, Rangers to the SC =)))) Hank always at his best when it matters the most!

[philou21]

Rangers needed that win because I don't think they would've win in MTL. MTL had slow start and that's what killed them. They were better in the second and problably the third (haven't watched it) but 18 shots, you don't beat Henrik with that. Still a good run in the playoffs for them that most people wasn't expecting, just like NY.

They weren't better in the third, they had a good spell in the 2nd period before the goal other then that Rangers controlled the game really well and deserved the win. You got stuck in your own zone alot due to giveaways and thats also what gave us the 1-0 goal.

Don't talk to me like I own the team or something. I hate when fans are talking like they're part of the team. Nevermind about the third then. They gave alot of giveaways but judging but how good the Rangers forecheck was in the first it's not surprising.

Sorry, that's just the way i am about sports i guess =P Yeah i mean, THE RANGERS (see what i did there?:)) made habs look bad with the forecheck. Habs D just couldn't handle the pressure or in some cases tried to play too cute, PK and Markov tried too hard to make that great outlet pass during the whole series and got stuck alot more then they should have.

[philou21]

Yeah my father told me they couldn't get anything done while entering the zone. Same play over and over that kept failing. Now I just hope the Hawks stays alive tonight!

[Peter_Doherty]

I'm with you there, hope for several OTs and a Hawks win. Then even more OTs in game 7 where i don't even care who wins

[philou21]

Patrick Kane, nough'said .

[Peter_Doherty]

Kane and Toews are so clutch... Toews is the definition of a complete player, to me he's the best hockeyplayer right now. Let's all hope for atleast 4 OTs in game 7

[philou21]

4?! Who the hell wants to see that? Poor guys on the ice as well.

[Peter_Doherty]

I cheer for NYR, need every advantage we can get before the first game to have a chance in the series So 4+ OTs should make them tired enough for game 1, right?:)

[Kopi]

Rangers vs Kings two of my favourite teams in the finals..Go Kopi and the Kings! Did anyone of you expected that both of them will be in the big final?

[philou21]

I really wasn't expecting the Rangers. Kings maybe but I would've prefered Chicago....or Colorado I will not have much interest in the Stanley Cup final this year it seems. Not really a fan of both team but I still prefer the Kings.

Same here. But I slightly want the Rangers to win the cup, it's such a long time ago.

[philou21]

Stanley Cup finals and the forum's dead. Any predictions guys? Kings in 6 for me.

Manimal is a Rangers fan and he doesn't even seem to care.

Of course I care! I am thrilled to have the Rangers in the finals.
I just don't have the need to say anything about it. I read too much media on the playoffs so I get enough from that. No need to hear the opinion of some other teams homers.

[Peter_Doherty]

Brain says Kings in 6, heart says Rangers in 7. Need to steal a game early in LA though i think, so lets do it tonight

[CJ]

Wow what a game it was!

Williams should have 20 in important matches attributes in EHM the way he's playing!

[mcworrell]

I know Williams doesn't put up huge numbers during the regular season, but man...does he seem to score when it really counts. I'm still bummed that the Flyers gave him away for a rented player like Danny Markov back in 2004.
