Is there anyone near Anaheim that could board me up Saturday night?  I'm giving serious thought to flying out from New Mexico for Saturday's game, and I have zero rooting interest.... that's how good this series has been.

You should see whether any Ducks season ticket holders would give you their tickets at face.

We watched this game last night? didn't we?  Road team scores and takes the momentum, home team can't muster a comeback

I can't decide what makes me more sad.  The Red Sox puking all over themselves for two straight seasons. the Ducks puking all over themselves and making this a boring fucking game, or my daughter puking all over everything in my living room tonight.

Have they shown the Bruce Boudreau game 7 graphic yet? Good lord do his teams get waxed routinely in these situations. 4-1 here, 6-2 last year and a 6-1 thumping by Crosby when Bruce was in Washington.

Only his back skate was breaking while passing the net? It wasn't to break.
 
I'll have to watch again, but it sure seemed to me like he was driving the net, threw on the brakes to avoid hitting the net/put him self in a position to get the rebound. When the puck bounced to his foot he rode it in with his momentum. Obviously he meant to use his foot to score, but it was turned to slow himself down for the reason i mentioned above.

Hossa is ridiculous.
 
was that him on the pass or Kane? 
 
edit: You must have been talking about a different play. I was still mesmerized by that sauce to Seabrook from the sidewall.

Chicago is unbeatable when they play like this. Anaheim is in desperation mode and can't touch the puck.
Chicago is going to have cap issues starting next year when the huge Kane and Toews contracts kick in.  So this is probably the last run for this group, and I just don't see them losing.  Other than Craword's occasional mediocrity, they're just too solid in every aspect.
TB knocked out two giants, and three Original Six teams, but I just don't see it happening.

$21m between them through 2023. You need to pick a word that drives the point home more than "huge," Bob. After 2009-10, they had similar cap juggling, but that involved modest contracts of the likes of Byf and Versteeg. This is a whole other universe, like you wrote.
