I watched it. Canucks fans...always making excuses.

Do you remember this HL?

The Shoutbox 6/15/2011

Nachos and hockey, a Loner tradition.

The game felt closer than the final score indicates, but I dont think it would surprise many if the goalies end up being the difference here.

I do now! Wow did you remember that? If so, very impressive.

Yes I remembered that. Also game 1 is just game 1, what if The Oilers win 5-2?

I've also suffered a recent tragedy, my nachos are gone.

Oilers just cant seem to get things going...Bob is just a little too good, Panthers are always just a half-step ahead, etc

Okay then. That's one. And was it ever one! Breaking Bob

Same as what's going on in the NBA...Florida taking a night off just to win at home I think

How did that work out for you?

Haha well I didn't bet it or anything, but it worked out in the NBA. NHL is a bit different, and though I still think Florida wins the series, Edmonton's shot to win was way higher than the Mavs all along in my opinion.

I don't know why The NHL allows this to happen during the playoffs but goodbye Pierre-Luc Dubois. No salary retained from what I understand. Another Rob Blake addition through subtraction deal.

The Markstrom deal was a bit surprising to see before July 1 as well. I'm not sure if that will truly vault the Devils back into the playoffs as a guarantee though.

Game 7 it is! Craziness

What a game, what a season...now we are in the dry spell of sports haha
