Can one of the mods pin this?

Maybe Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, or Ray Bourque who finally got that elusive ring can pin this thread?
Ty Domi just sucker punched someone in the subway and Jeremy Roenick broke his jaw again. Meanwhile my boy Sergei Federov is having his way with the love of my life...Anna Kournikova.

Game of the season for the Flyers tonight.
I'm shocked Dallas has been so competitive with Anaheim. I thought Anaheim would end it 4-5. But, Dallas has a lot of talent, and when Getzlaf was out, that changes a lot.
I'm shocked the Lightning got swept. Montreal is good, but swept?
My Cup picks are Bruins and Blues. I really hope the Blues make it. Love that team.
Still have belief in the Flyers. Mason coming back will make a difference. That 1st goal Emery allowed in game 3 was really deflating for the whole team.
Lol Cindy.

Though probably not as ****ty as being a defender who was used as the deflection

Hard to blame Crawford there, not much he could do.
Incredible series though, shame it had to go to an end.
As being someone who's played a lot fo goaltending positions in various levels of competition from pickup to competitive. Letting goals in sucks. One game I was goalie and let in 5 goals. 4 of the goals came on penalties because I had an incompetent defense who got 2 handballs and 2 slide tackles from behind in the box. The 5th I had possession of the ball and the kid came in after I took possession of the ball and kicked it out of my hand which isn't permitted in soccer. ANd given the fact that I was on the ground and the ball was not that far from my head could have been a dangerous play worthy of a yellow card. Even though none of those goals were my fault (saved one of the penalties which is about average for a goalie) every time that ball hit the back of the net it stinged. Trust me being at "fault" doesn't matter. There's still a sinking feeling when you let in any important goals. I had a goal let in in a big game (don't remember if it was championship or not) when I was a kid that I had lined up but my defenseman deflected and I couldn't react to it. Wound up being the goal that cost me. Onetime I didn't make a save that took us to overtime, that sucked. When I made a save to win a shootout there wasn't a much higher feeling. Being a goalie is totally amazing and totally stressful at the same time. Wouldn't trade the rush for anything. it was bigger than sacking a quarterback, hitting a winning shot in basketball, or striking out someone to end the game for me.Originally Posted by Heyward

LOL, hockey is so great. The biggest goal of the season is a deflection off the the losing teams defenseman. SO MUCH SKILL!

That's why you shoot the puck.
Did I miss any blowouts in the NBA tonight? When is the next game, July?

You don't understand the sport in the least. Did you see how the goal was created? Na, ESPN doesn't show the work that goes in to goals like that. But it's about a good, effective forecheck and puck possession in the offensive zone. I have no idea why you think goals are supposed to be pretty. A lot of work went in to that goal.
