The Hit That Changed The Series

I would like to show possibly the greatest hit in playoff history, and I was lucky enough to be 12 rows up from the carnage.  Cory Sarich level the Sharks captain and gave the Flames the needed momentum to come back from a 3-0 deficit.

The Trouble with Toronto

 

Once again the Toronto Maple Leafs have screwed their fans over at the end of the season.  The team struggles throughout the year, but then at the trade deadline wins a few games to give Leaf Nation hope, and then lose at the end to finish a few points back of a playoff spot.

 They miss out on a NHL lottery pick, and end up with a decent, but not great player, that sits in the system for years and offers no real benefit or solution.  They also never make any big deadline deals as they either feel they are in a position to make a run, or like this year cannot trade anyone worth while due to no-trade clauses. 

I personally hate the Leafs, but am starting to feel sorry for their fans who get their hopes up every year, only to have them crushed just as fast.

Blackhawks vs Blue Jackets-Columbus at home 4-2

Emery’s Struggles

 

With the recent fine of almost $15,000 dollars, Ottawa Senators goalie Ray Emery continues to be a distraction to the Eastern Conference Leader.  He has had controversy with his Mike Tyson mask.  He was involved in a road rage case on his way to practice.  He was in a car accident that made him miss one practice.  He overslept for a playoff flight last year and now shows up to the wrong arena in Long Island and is justifiably told to miss practice forcing the Sens to have one goalie in practice.  He has also had tantrums on the ice during practice where he has broken sticks.  He has said that he has trouble getting motivated to go on the ice.  Newsflash, it is your job and you get paid over 3 million a year to do so!  Obviously being in a backup role this season would be hard after leading your team to the Stanley Cup final the previous season, but Emery needs to become a man and accept his role.  If he doesn’t Ottawa needs to do something about it to have a chance at repeating last years success.

Here is a video of Emery’s fight with a Buffalo Goalie and Enforcer!

Predictions

 

Well after a disapointing 5-5 day  I am now 22-19…

Blackhawks vs Blues-Hawks win 4-1

Islanders vs Flyers-Flyers win 4-2

Another Roy Loses it

 

Patrick Roy’s son Jonathon, a goalie in the QMJHL lost it in a 10-1 loss and skated across the ice to beat up the opposing goalie. 

I love goalie fights, but if the other goalie doesn’t want to fight don’t beat him up just because your losing bad.
