I agree
But riddle me this
how many Forwards are on the ice for the bruins in a given shift.
The answer is three and no one in front of the net. Not a soul, on many of the shifts tonight. the canes had people in front of the net all night.

ovi needs suspended. dirty dirty hit clearly knee on knee with intent to injure. he needs to be gone for at least one game.

I know it's hard to see things objectively when it is a player on your favorite team that gets hurt, but I (as a big fan of neither team) didn't read any intent to injure into the collision. Looks like Gonchar's leg was extended just as Ovechkin's was. It is hockey...**** happens.

yes **** happens in hockey, however moving your leg to impact another players leg knee to knee is not part of the game. there is a vid from the right hand side of the rink that clearly shows that he moved his leg to hit gonchar.

for the record I'd have this stance no matter who was involved, Penguin, blackhawk or coyote.

Wow! Canes have looked very good. I have to admit, though, after Game One I was worried...a lot. I know it is not over, but here's hoping that the Canes can keep up the intensity.

Getting ready to head down to the Joe! Hoping the Wings put up the same effort as game 4. Won't be back on 'till much later! Go Wings!

Have fun James

Congrats Joe and condolences Paul...The 'Canes looked great again tonight.

Tom, not a shock that this happened. There has been a mind set with the Bruins' ownership since the mid '70's that making the playoffs is enough. What compounded things this year was that the B's beat the Montreal Mafia in the first round so the season was a monster success. I gave up my season tickets 1 year into the new Garden because I found it to be a sterile and cold place but was thinking about getting them again. Will not do so because the B's mindset has not changed.

icehog3 · 05-09-2009, 08:50 AM

Looked like Sergei put his leg out too to me, but we can agree to disagree. Regardless, I hope Gonchar is able to skate again today and that it is not a serious injury.

loki · 05-09-2009, 09:38 AM

with the amount of pain that he was in i don't think he will be. even if there is nothing torn/broken (i'm hearing speculation of a turn mcl) the residual soreness will probably keep him out....like our PP can afford another difficulty to over come

icehog3 · 05-09-2009, 12:28 PM

That sucks about Gonchar, no matter which team I am rooting for, hate to see a player get hurt, especially this time of year.

loki · 05-09-2009, 12:37 PM

gonchar out, Goligoski in. I"m not expecting much from todays game.

icehog3 · 05-09-2009, 01:06 PM

Pens played just fine after Gonchar left yesterday, not sure why you wouldn't expect/hope for the same today.

Since both teams have exactly the same time and travel issues, I'm confused as to why it is a more a factor for the Pens, if that is what you are saying.

I meant for the level of play overall, not saying that one team has an advantage over another or not. I don't like to sacrifice quality play for a crappy network to get to show a game.

Apparently it had nothing to do with the network....Game 4 in Pittsburgh was scheduled for Friday instead of Thursday because the powers that be at Mellon Arena scheduled a Yanni concert for Thursday.
