From the new reports I hear the the NHL continues its fine reportation as a bloodsport not fit for a wider audience.

What I find annoying was that the CBC for a split second showed Eller lying facedown in a rapidly spreading pool of his own blood, then quickly turned the camera away.  This was the right thing to do.

But newspapers everywhere are using that show of Eller in the blood pool in their coverage.

But doesn't it already enjoy the widest audience out of any sport in Canada?

Montreal played much better tonight, but they were lucky to get that gift of a first goal. Could have ended much differently.

Played better, but still pretty up and down.  Anderson made some pretty impressive saves to keep the game in reach.

Sharks UNSTOPPABLE!

Well...almost stoppable. Thank goodness for last minute goals. ;)

I think it is now obvious who the Team of Destiny(tm) is this year:



It is inconceivable that the Caps would ever blow a 2-0 series lead.

:yeah:

Missed the game though :(

Also, what happened in the montreal game. First time I've seen five separate fights going on at the same time in a long time.

Creation of a rivalry. It's a good thing, the Boston one was getting boring.

it was a fun game until the habs got blown away (and once the refs cooled down). Suban is a whiney bitch though.
