One didn't have a stick because oh yeah that's right Cogliano gave him the ol Paul Bunyan two handed wood chop and snapped it in half right in front of the ref. no call. Should have been no goal and a 5 on 3 for the stars. Instead it's your game winner. Some will say I should let this go because "refs miss calls all the time." I'm not going to let this go. The ref saw it clearly. He was hesitant to raise his arm for a reason. I don't know who the ref was but there is no way he didn't see it and no way he could justify no penalty. Led directly to a scoring chance. It's very very fishy. Y U NO RAISE ARM???

Horse crap missed call on that slash. Absolute garbage. Right in front of the ref too. Should have led to a 5 on 3 for the Stars I guess we know who Gary's darlings are this playoffs.

I find this one very tough to call. Everything says Ducks should win. I'm going with the Stars. Benn and Seguin are just dynamite and getting hotter. I see them finding even another gear in the playoffs. I think the Ducks record flatters them a bit. Their core is excellent and their D are great at distributing the puck in the offensive zone. They have some uncertainty in goal but with good options. For the Stars It all depends on whether Benn and Seguin continue to slash through defense and whether or not Lehtonen is Lettin em in. Stars in 7

No kidding! In glad someone here mentioned this. I couldn't believe their antics last year. I like most of Coutures game but I swear if I see him make his stupid crybaby face to the ref even once I'm gonna snap. Guy touches his lips and face after every contact pretending he's finding some blood somewhere (which there never is). Thornton? Just give him the Oscar. It's painful to see a large athletic man fake injuries and play it up worse than my 2 year old daughter. Disgrace to the game. I know lots of players act. Canucks have been implicated. I'm not ignorant of all that. I'm just saying for real, those two are terrible for it and it's disgraceful to hockey and athletic competition in general. Watch for that sub plot in this series.

Kings will win the west.

Blues are done.

LA in 6 for 1 reason. Drew Doughty.

You have to be kidding me. This better be sarcasm. This is sarcasm right?

Don't feel bad for MG. I think the stress of it all wore him down badly. He never handled the media scrutiny well at all. All last year he looked bloated, red, exhausted, and one flight of stairs away from a coronary. This year the man has looked like a straight up hobo. I think he's relieved to be done here.

I was thinking of a warm solid actually.

5-1 LA LA will win the west this year and probably the cup. Though I hate to say it.

My friend, a magical miracle wrapped in a rainbow and sprinkled with pixie dust delivered by a leprechaun singing bibbity bobbity boo will not get this team into the playoffs.

If I'm Kassian I tell my agent to do whatever he wants, with the long term goal of getting out of Vancouver at the earliest date possible.

But it did, and it's still going.

1. Merely a demonstration. A hypothetical sentence illustrating the correct use of the two different words. 2. It is not contradictory for me to call him a dbag (if I actually was calling him a dbag), regardless of my dbagness or non-dbagness. 3. You are a douche-nozzle.

How so?

Ok sure, 4 game skids are common. But we need two teams above us (teams that truly are better than us) to skid hard while we run the table. Minny might poop the bed. But not Minny AND one of Phoenix/Dallas. And sorry bud, but we ain't runnin' anything. Nope, time to start Markstrom and put as much rookie blood as we can out there. I don't agree with losing on purpose; I think that's culture cancer. Just put out the youngens and let em play their hearts out. We are playing now for some positive notes to enter the offseason and next year. Jensen and Kassian have been that these past couple of weeks. (Though if you ask me Torts will wreck Jensen and never give Kassian a chance). The fork was in us pre-Olympics. It's not like we were playing good hockey and just not getting puck luck (like we were in the fall). We have been pretty bad at the sport of hockey for a while.

"Your" is a possessive form of "you" The word you want is "you're." You + are = you're It's a conjunction see? It is slang contraction of two words and thus requires an apostrophe. Auto type will even throw in the apostrophe for you if you spell it right. Let me demonstrate the difference: I am being patronizing in response to YOUR useless post. I also think YOU'RE a bit of a dbag. Get it?

You don't lose 4-0 and blame your goalie. That is unless its the cup final game 7 and you are a yahoo from Vancouver that knows nothing about hockey but is a spoiled brat that thinks the world owes you something and when you don't get what you want you poop your pants and look for the easiest target to translate all your immature insecurity into hate. Just sayin...

Just when you thought all the poop had been pooped....there's more poop. That was absolutely unbelievable.

I disagree. I think the Kings are better than the ducks and on par with the sharks. I think the ducks will slip a bit in the latter stages of the season. Still gonna be a tough go for the bucks to crack the top 3 in the PAC. Someone in California needs to go reeeally cold for that to happen and right now I don't see it.

Continually berated, hated, underrated, and underpaid; Burrows continues to shine. All heart, all grit, all out on every shift, and that rare 'clutch' factor. Love this guy.

Yeah, what a horrible board and what a horrible website. You know, you can leave anytime.
