Give MAF one more and if he sucks, put Murray in midgame and leave him there. Might as well see if the glass slipper broke/golden horseshoe came dislodged or if it was a Bad Game as goalies have from time to time.

I wouldn't even say bad game. One awful goal (4) and one he should've had (1) but the other two were Cole and Streit's problem really, and maybe a bit on Bonino for that funny backcheck-thing he was doing on the third goal. Not that allowing two stoppable goals isn't already a Big loving Problem in a series like this but still.

Also, on that fourth goal (http://www.dtmts.com/?id=2016030313&vid=51984303 1:52), is it just me or was that a really strange cross-ice movement?

Compartment syndrome? Wideman had a similar injury with Washington when he got kneed in the thigh and was out a few months.

That was my first thought too. Of course they were going to catch it but good for him that they did all the same, cause yikes.

Sens are practicing today. Seems to me like slamming the barn door after the cow's already getting scraped off the tracks, but I've never coached a hockey team. Shouldn't they have been perfecting ways to get around the things Pittsburgh's been doing the same way Sullivan had his guys practicing how to take advantage of an AHL defense all standing in the neutral zone and a goalie who can't find his posts? Or is this me just being idealistic again

The relative funness of the upcoming SCF games will be forgotten because subban-with-cup.jpg will be the only memory that lasts.

And that is good, because neither eastern team will be much fun to watch while they fall.

I think it would be great if the Hainsey interference call was made every time it happened, regular season or playoffs.

Agreed, except instead of making the call, not having to make the call because the official got out of the way of the play in time.

Crosby might not have seen the line change but the guy who went over the boards to replace him sure as poo poo did because he was there.

In my eyes the 5 on 4 interference call (which led to the 5 on 3 on a good high sticking call that wouldn't have happened if an awful missed crosscheck from Malkin had been called) was worse because Pageau wouldn't have been interfered with if the linesman had gotten out of the way. There was a good-sized spot between the defenseman and the boards for him to squeak through, but there was an official in it.

That wasn't even "let them play", that was "let the game get completely out of hand", after which every call becomes "oh you let that go but you're calling this?" and there's no winning there.

The last time Eugene wrote a letter to an Ottawa paper he was literally begging for somebody to give him their liver, and somehow the letter he wrote today seems more selfish. Game 7 of the ECF and this motherfucker writes about how he's mad about a Don Brennan article blaming him for the empty seats

You couldn't make a discussion between Brennan and Melnyk less interesting if you had it entered into Hansard, translated to French and read back by Microsoft Sam at 1 speed during Lions Club TV Bingo.

Not unlike my posting.
