[Casey]

Only a good game for a Leafs fan. If the Dogs weren't so awesome I would be mighty depressed watching my team FALL SO HARD!!!

Good thing I love the Flames!! GO CALGARY! BEAT THOSE SHARKS

Saturday, April 12

1:13 p.m.
It’s good news for Patrick Thoresen.

Flyers’ general manager Paul Holmgren gave an update on the winger on Saturday afternoon during the team’s practice at the Kettler Ice Complex. Thoresen is possible to play in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals on Sunday (2:00 p.m., NBC).

“The ultrasound they did last night was actually good news,” said Holmgren. “They did another ultrasound this morning and everything checked out okay. He’s now back at the hotel just resting up. As far as his status, it’s going to come down to how he feels, but he’s a possibility for the game tomorrow.”

Thoresen was hit in the groin by a slap shot by Washington’s Mike Green in the third period of Game 1 on Friday night and had to be helped to the locker room.

“Obviously we’re all thankful it’s not more serious than it is,” added Holmgren.

Ummmm....owww?

Yeah I had heard that too. Doesn't look like he will need to though. Which is good news.

Brendan Shanahan on playoff hockey

"We recall Brent Gilchrist. He was getting needles, as awful as this sounds, in the groin. We would hear him screaming before games an in between periods, and he was, you know, maybe 4 or 5 rooms over, and we could hear him screaming. He played until the muscle just separated from his bone, and he couldn't play anymore"

[I.L.L.]

Ya! HABS 2-0 over the Bruins.

Love the energy in that building. Some great chants....:hurray:

[ItsGameTime]

I dispise that Ole chant with every fibre of my being, its not a hockey chant at all. Great energy in the building though

[I.L.L.]

Yah not a big fan of that chant either. They have some other chants going though. Not sure, but I think they are chanting THOMAS...

LOL! Sometimes I think it would be easier to be a Leafs fan, that way you wouldn't have to worry about making the playoffs and then endure the pressure of playing in and possibly getting beaten out of the playoffs....;)

[Casey]

haha No kidding ILL! They have it easy, they get to brag like nobodys business after every win, and can sulk and shrug off every loss with the words "I am a Leafs fan, I'm used to it"

[robertdicks]

Fun game to watch.. kipper played very well but the flames played well enough to limit chances for him.. should be a great game seven im very excited to watch this one as once the playoffs start (and the leafs are out) im a flames fan lol

[robertdicks]

haha No kidding ILL! They have it easy, they get to brag like nobodys business after every win, and can sulk and shrug off every loss with the words "I am a Leafs fan, I'm used to it"

well.. i think thats a bit more sad than having all those cups in montreal... sens fans however with the fact that they have never won a cup and being the biggest choke artists in the universe.. and losing every playoff series they have ever played to the TML may actually have it worse off than the leafs fans who are just used to it .... ur right tho we are in a win-win situation with the being expected to lose thing tho..

[Casey]

ur right tho we are in a win-win situation with the being expected to lose thing tho..

Thats all I was saying, that you guys have it easy. No matter the outcome you aren't doing too bad =)

[Casey]

Can't wait to see who takes the Boston Habs game tonight. I am even more excited to see Calgary tomorrow... I hope they can pull off a win!

[IceDogs5]

Heck yes! 4-2 Washington...God I love Ovechkin :). Can't wait for tomorrow ---> Come on Flames!

[Quizzer83]

and the Habs win 5-0 over Boston... :-)

GO HABS GO!

[I.L.L.]

and the Habs win 5-0 over Boston... :-)

GO HABS GO!

Wooooohoooo! Go HABS Go! Props to our little rookie Price! :hurray:

On a side note---love to see Ovechkin move on! He has got to be my favourite player of this generation..absolutely amazing!

[Casey]

Well they pulled it off. Must be a great feeling ILL =)

[I.L.L.]

Well they pulled it off. Must be a great feeling ILL =)


I can actually breathe now! I was sooooo nervous going into last night's game. I am so happy for Price--he played an outstanding game between the pipes. Glad it's over but it's only going to get harder. The Flyers or the Rangers...hmmmm...not going to be an easy road either way........

[IceDogs5]

Good luck with the Flyers ILL. Being a Leafs fan, it's VERY difficult for me to cheer on the Habs...but, in this case I have to make an exception--> I hate the Flyers just a little bit more. :boxing_smiley:

Thanks we're gonna need it!

[RioBravo]

Funny what you said Casey...you sat by us WAY too much this year:P

And cheer for the Habs? PLEASE im a real Leafs fan. I would die before cheering them or Ottawa.

[IceDogs5]

I'm a die hard leafs fan too - but I just can't stand the Flyers...especially Downie - hence why I want them out asap.

[ItsGameTime]

An aside to this discussion... last night in the AHL playoffs Philadelphia beat Albany in the 5th OT (longest game in AHL history), the losing goalie made 98 saves (you aren't seeing things). He wasn't even named first star, he was the second star... AT HOME!!! Talk about getting jobbed!

98 saves...3 goals against. That's gotta do wonders for your Save %

And Kyle Greentree of the Phantoms had 17 shots on goal, and there were 4 others on his team that registered 10+

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The Philadelphia Phantoms have defeated the Albany River Rats, 3-2, at the <st1>Times</st1><st1> Union</st1><st1> Center</st1> in<st1> <st1:city w:st="on">Albany</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">N.Y.</st1:state></st1> , in the longest game in the 72-year history of the American Hockey League.

Ryan Potulny (http://stats.theahl.com/stats/player.php?lang_id=en&id=1397)’s goal at 2:58 of the fifth overtime period gave the Phantoms the win and a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven East Division semifinal series. Game 6 is Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia.

The winning goal was scored at 12:39 a.m. EDT on Friday morning, five hours and 38 minutes after the game began.

Philadelphia took an incredible 101 shots on goal in the game, and Albany’s Michael Leighton (http://stats.theahl.com/stats/player.php?lang_id=en&id=394), who won the Aldege “Baz” Bastien Award as the AHL’s outstanding goaltender during the 2007-08 regular season, made 98 saves, believed to be an AHL record. The Phantoms’ Scott Munroe (http://stats.theahl.com/stats/player.php?lang_id=en&id=1183) stopped 65 of 67 shots to earn the win.

Albany’s Kiel McLeod (http://stats.theahl.com/stats/player.php?lang_id=en&id=81) netted a pair of goals in regulation, both coming in the second period to give the River Rats 1-0 and 2-1 advantages.

But the Phantoms’ Jared Ross (http://stats.theahl.com/stats/player.php?lang_id=en&id=437) responded to tie the score on both occasions, including a tally at 15:13 of the third period to send the contest to overtime.

It remained deadlocked at 2-2 for more than three hours of real time before Potulny finally ended it in the fifth extra session.

The marathon surpassed the previous longest game, a 2003 Calder Cup Final game between Hamilton and Houston that went 14:56 into a fourth overtime. It was also longer than all but three NHL games ever played.

[AlphaDog]

^^^ HOly smokes! The goalies MUST have been 1st and 2nd stars! 5hrs 38mins.. wow...

[leafs_fan77]

Detroit just whooped Pittsburgh 4-0. I'm surprised actually, it looked like the Penguins were coming out swinging after watching the first 10 minutes.
