Another good SJ/Edmonton game. I know Edmonton's gonna bitch about the no-call on the holding the stick, though. heh. My only comment on that is: If you weren't hooking him, he couldn't have closed his arm down over your stick. How else could he have held on without ever taking either hand off his own stick?
Series is starting to get chippy, too. Should be interesting to see what happens when they hit the Oilers' home ice.

still should have been a penalty
call it double minors if you want, but letting it go, and having that guy score the winning goal 3 seconds later is pretty lame
Actually, I was pretty surprised. Read the online edition of one of the Edmonton papers today (The Edmonton Journal), and they made no mention of that incident whatsoever. So, obviously must not have been quite so egregious, or they would've been all over it.
Still looking forward to how the series is going to look on Edmonton home ice. Sharks've been clearly the better team so far, though. I mean, how in hell can you NOT SCORE when you've got a 5 on 3 with 2 of the defenders with no sticks. *boggle* My prediction: Sharks & Oilers split the games in Edmonton, Sharks take the series at home in game 5.
Ducks swept the Avanlanches 4 games to none. Colorado sucked this series. After kicking the Stars asses in the first round, I was surprised to see them going out of the playoff on a whimper.

I was too, but Anaheim is playing some stellar hockey
Big game tonight between Edmonton and San Jose
San Jose was the better team the first 2 games, but Edmonton out classed them in game 3
They were certainly the better team from the midpoint of the 2nd period on, for sure. First half of the game, not so much. I dunno what happened to the Sharks. They were comofortably ahead, had the crowd quiet, and then just fell apart.
I've never seen a guy shoot a puck from behind the goal line, hit the goalie's blocker then have it bounce all the way to the other blue line to a guy coming right out of the penalty box
I have to ask my friend what he did after that, since he is a canadian wearing an Oilers jersey at the game. He probably laughed his ass off after the Oilers kicked the Sharks' ass.

The oilers are as good as any team in the western conference. their problem all year was weak goaltending
now that Roloson is picking it up, they'll be tough to beat
How else could he have held on without ever taking either hand off his own stick?
