Quack Quack Quack
1. don't put the camera on players who have just gotten a penalty. it never works out well for the kiddies at home.
Quoth Mike Commodore, first penalty of the game: "Kiss my fucking ass!"
2. Good clear by Oilers off the stick of what should have been a goal by the Canes (6:40, 1)
3. OILERS GET THE FIRST GOAL!!!!!!!!!! (8:18, 1) Pasani scores on a well placed deflection.
4. Interesting trivia: Pasani is a dual citizen of Canada (Edmonton) and Italy, who then played for Notre Dame (same as the RK's Brad Wanchulak)
5. Penalty trivia: If you go to hip check someone and go in too low, then it counts as tripping.
6. Roloson reminds everyone why he's there and stops a tricky shot and scramble by Eric Staal.
7. Roloson saves another potentially dangerous shot. Go, kid, go!
8. Carolina defenseman Wesley takes three shots, as in shots on goal, to the body and has to be helped off the ice and bench in to the locker room by training staff. Edmonton now has a 5-3 advantage over Carolina, with two defensemen in the box and one (Wesley) off the ice with injuries. Carolina lands themselves another penalty and Edmonton calls a time out to take advantage of a lack in Carolina's defense and the loss of Brind'amour to the penalty box.
9. Carolina's injured defensemen Wesley makes it back on ice in time to land a too many men on ice penalty.
10. Despite a lack of defensemen on ice, Carolina has an impressive six minute penalty kill keeping Edmonton to minimal viable shots on goal and no goals at all.
1. Carolina's "Hockey Squad" (aka girls in small outfits) scare me
2. Carolina's goalie, Warden, made a really sweet save that landed him on his back like a turtle, the puck clenched between his shin pads.
3. Roloson is really pissin' Staal off-- he's supposed to be Carolina's star player and this goalie's just not letting him through.
4. Some really strong physical play by both clubs coming up on the halfway mark of the second period, but still remaining at EDM 1 CAR 0 for the score. If this keeps going, third period's going to be quite a show.
5. So the Gwinett Gladiators had that stupid mohawk thing, the Carolina Hurricane assistant coach had coins made that say "Whatever it Takes" and the players are required to have them on their person at all times. If a player is caught without the coin, they are required to buy lunch for the entire team. The assistant coach did a random coin check and the entire team got free lunch for a week because 5 guys didn't have their coins.
6. PENALTY SHOT EDMONTON! One of the Carolina players (Brind'amour?) had his hand on top of the puck inside the crease which is illegal.
7. GOAL 2 FOR EDMONTON! Pronger, 10:15 2, Penalty shot.
8. GOAL 3 FOR EDMONTON! Moreau, 8:43 2, fuckin' RAWK.
9. DAMN! Goal, Carolina, don't know who (Brind'amour), 17:17 2. Goddamnit, it was almost a shutout, too. It was just fucking luck-- the puck got away from Roloson and Brind'amour just happened to be there to knock it in to a half empty net.
10. Roloson takes down ANOTHER Staal shot like a pro!
3-1, Edmonton
At least things are getting interesting now?
1. Why can't this just be the last game? That would make me so happy, I'm not sure I can take it otherwise.
2. Goddamnit. Whitney (who is FROM Edmonton, might I add) scores Carolina's second goal at 1:42 of the 3rd. Fucker.
3. Goddamnit. Whitney. Another goal. Tied at three now. Maybe I don't want this to be the last game after all... DAMN.
4. FUCKING FUCK FUCKERS. Carolina takes the lead with a short handed goal with 9:58 to go in the 3rd period. Williams. Asshole.
5. FUCK YES! OILERS SCORE! Tied 4-4, Hemsky, 14:30ish 3
6. Roloson is taken out of the game after a crash in to the pipes. Replaced by Ty Conklin, who has not played in the playoffs so far-- Roloson has played every last second up until 14:45ish of the 3rd period of game 1 of the playoff.
7. Replacement goalie holds his own.
8. OK, so there were a ton of goalie pileups and now they're about to start fighting with each other... awesome.
9. SONOFAFUCKINBITCHBRIND'AMOURYOUASSHOLEFUCKINGBITCHMOMTHERLOVER.
5-4 Carolina
Assholes. Mother fuckers.
Why do my teams always goddamn fucking lose their goalies?
