It did get McPhee and Oates fired.... but I wanted Laviotette and not Trotz

Nice win by Ottawa to force a game seven, but what the heck is up the lack of a capacity crowd in the Stanley Cup semifinals?

This arena is probably 98 or 99 per cent filled tonight and this crowd is as loud as any we've heard in these playoffs.

The media blowing shit out of proportion. There was a fuck ton of tickets unsold last night and a ridiculous amount got bought this morning.

Thanks. That clears up that issue adequately enough.

Well I've been home since 5 and have already had a 6 pack to take the edge off.

Nothing like a game 7. Go Sens Go.

A game seven that goes into overtime is even better . . .

Rule #1 - clear the puck out of your zone.

Damn.

So much for getting destroyed eh Baldy.

Could be worse....could have won the President's Trophy and choked hard, right?

Absolutely phenomenal season for Ottawa. No one expected us to make it this far. Most peopel didn't even think they were a playoff team. Proud of the boys for taking it into 2OT of the ECF against the defending champions.

No one to blame. Just a great series of hockey.

Great game. Both sides had the intensity - more so than the Caps could muster in their Game 7. I thought Pitt outplayed Ott most of the game, but any Caps fan can tell you that doesn't get you much, and Ott fought back twice in tough situation.

Ottawa tried hard but I thought they were lucky to be in the game. It seemed the puck was in the offensive zone for Pitt ALL NIGHT. Sens would dump it in have one guy go get it and then it would head the other way.

Sucks, cause I was pulling for a big upset.
