Petteri looks much older with the scruff. I am for it.
They showed a clip from Miracle, with the infamous Herb Brooks speech. I think I'm the only hockey fan in the world that doesn't like that. I don't feel pride at the 1980 win. I feel so much worse for the Russians than I could ever feel pride at the Americans. I know what the Russians had to deal with going home. I don't think that's something to applaud.
Ryan O'Byrne is in. Guard your pocketbooks!
Komisarek crosses the ice to just bump into Milan after the whistle. He grinned at him.
TIMMY! Woo.
*giggles* Jack points out the "no diving" signs that people brought. Love it.
To make up for calling crap in other games, they're calling NOTHING this period.
I love that we're booing Kovalev!
"D-to-D" is Jack's tagline. Over and over and over he says it.
Komisarek is either trying to pick up Milan or is asking to get the crap beat out of him. Or both. He is sitting for it this time.
Because Hamrlik falls down, that's our fault? Please! Just be stronger on your skates!
*laughs!* Jack says that if Plekanec said his "I was playing like a little girl" comment in front of Michaela Brickly or Dagney Edwards, they would have punched him in the face. Brick says "Well, he is a Canadien."
Oh hell! Shorthanded chances! Multiple shorthanded chances! Damn Price.
Sergei goes for elbowing. We're hitting everything that's close enough.
Still no one has put down Begin. Why?!
I haven't been taking a lot of notes, but it was a good period. We had good chances and they had very few. No score, so far, which is just fine by me. We need to keep this up.
Woo BC Eagles! Frozen Four champions! I can't wait to see that kid in the NHL, he's going to be amazing.
Jed Lowrie is playing 3rd. I'm glad for him, but kinda surprised. Jacoby is in right, Crisp in center and Manny in left. Papi is in, I guess the expletives worked. Tim/Cash. We're in the third, no score.
Oh is that so? Phil is "good friends" with Nathan Gerbe. Good enough that the kid is in the press box with his arm around Phil's shoulders. (Phil has been sat three games in a row.) And talking a mile a minute, with Phil listening intently. Okay I admit I love that idea. Love it. Love it.
Yep, Jonathan's commercial still disturbs me. Check.
Either we're forgetting to boo him or Kovalev hasn't been on the ice in a while.
There have been a lot of fans on shots, I wonder why. A lot as in I noticed it clearly.
Damnit, another chance. Keep doin' that, boys!
Zoom Milan, zoom David. Yes, thank you.
Marc, Glen, Peter. Do that again! Score this time!
Damn! So fuckin' close! So close. Keep going!
Another shorthanded chance! Go us!
Fuckin' a! Someone smashed their stick on the crossbar and broke it after that goal. Stuart, I think. Timmy was screened.
We'll be on the PP in the third now. Good job, Milan.
And we randomly cut off the Higgins interview? Wonder why.
Sox are down 1-2. Jacoby scored on Lowrie's out. Lugo was out at second, he's got two hits. Dustin also has two. Oh this is Lowrie's debut, good for him and his RBI. Still Tim pitching. We're in the sixth. And there's our first error, Lugo. I don't know how, I'm just watching the animated box score. But it's okay because the guy that got to first on that error, was caught stealing second and is now out.
We didn't do enough with that PP, but we did try. That's okay. We're looking tired, which isn't okay at this point in the game and the series. Wake up, boys!
Good job, Marc! Took the puck off the goal line!
Lugo's single loaded the bases. And Lowrie is up. No pressure, kid. Awesome! Single for Lowrie. 3 RBI now, Jacoby scored again and Youkilis, too! I knew there was a reason I liked this kid. 3-2 now.
Damn, David was so close. We need to get something, a dirty goal, anything! Come on, boys! We don't allow shutouts.
We're playing like we're on a PP. That's awesome. Keep it up, they keep icing it.
Dustin had a full count, could have loaded the bases for Papi with a walk. Instead he struck out. Did I mention that was the third out? Yeah. Tim pitched six innings again, and six good innings.
Kovalev totally unnoticeable this game. Wonder if he's hurt or just tired.
*sighs* That was a hell of a game. But we didn't fight hard enough. We did try, but not hard enough. We need more. We can't be even with them, we have to be better.
Final score: 0-1
Series: 1-3
