God...Nashville really fucked up the game last night! Shocked they benched Rinne,but fuck,those last 3 goals went right past him. Erat got hit HARD,still no word on his condition...poor dude has gotten seriously roughed up by the Ducks.

that was only one bad game. they've been solid the rest of the series, so i think they should be alright. sucks about erat though, anaheim plays fucking filthy.

Yeah I agree.

I mean come on,they were in the neutral zone...it was completely uncalled for. Just hope he's not out for the rest of the playoffs. What a douche.

I don't see anything wrong with that hit. It may be a tad late, but it doesn't seem like Ruutu was going in with an intent to injure Erat. Shit happens, especially in hockey.

NHL: Raffi Torres Hit on Brent Seabrook Game 3 4/17/11

I'm still pissed about this one. First game back from a suspension and he does that. And then he only gets a minor penalty for it, as well as no further suspension. Ghey.

I disagree. He's one of the Preds top players,and if you take him out the team will suffer a bit. Yeah,shit happens and I understand that,but I think this was every bit intentional.

still, it's not like he gave him the elbow or anything, he didn't blindside him either. Seems like he hit him with the shoulder in the chest. I wouldn't be surprised ifthe ref gave him two minutes for interference, but I think the hit was clean.

oh my god what a sports night for me. the sox finally break a 7 game losing streak. the bulls win again. and now i just need the hawks to hold onto this huge lead.

kinda weird they're playing their best hockey in weeks without brent seabrook.

fucking awesome night for the bruins!! not such an awesome night for the canucks though...

bright lights, big city · Apr 22, 2011, 04:53 AM

they can at least say they took some more cheap shots on the hawks.

Serves the asshole right. They're not gonna suspend him for a "clean" hit. And he gave him a shoulder to the head!

Crazylegs · Apr 23, 2011, 12:12 PM

good game between the preds and ducks tonight. Ryan's goal was a thing of beauty.

devilinside · Apr 23, 2011, 09:28 PM

I admit...that was a pretty bad ass goal.

Corleone · Apr 23, 2011, 10:04 PM

I was rooting for the Ducks, but it would be nice for the preds fans to see the 2nd round.

devilinside · Apr 25, 2011, 01:04 AM

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

That's what I'm talking about!!! OMG I am ECSTATIC!!

bright lights, big city · Apr 25, 2011, 04:20 AM

Congrats! And the Hawks miraculously force game 7! Can't wait till Tuesday.

devilinside · Apr 25, 2011, 05:00 AM

I know,I am soo glad they have another game to hopefully beat Vancouver. I despise them and the Detroit. I thought I was going to puke from the stress of tonights game,the Ducks were REALLY aggressive. It was definitely THE game to be at!

Crazylegs · Apr 25, 2011, 07:54 AM

What a comeback for chicago. This series got more exciting than it seemed after 3 games.

Corleone · Apr 25, 2011, 08:04 PM

It's like the hockey gods do what I tell them.

Look out for a Philly vs Detroit final...
