Official 2010-2011 NHL Season Thread; 3rd Period

I saw a first for me just now, in the VAN/SJS game. One of the Canucks just got a two minute penalty for embellishing. I don't realize you could get a penalty for that. Cool.

Now wait a minute, Mike! You're a friggin' Pens fan. And you're telling me you never saw Sid the Kid get a penalty for embellishing his first couple years?! I think he was awarded an honorary SCUBA certification because he was such an accomplished diver. ;)
 
There are some whispers that Crosby is continuing to sit out in protest to the NHL not doing enough to protect him. I don't believe it, and the guys I read so far saying it are Crosby haters anyway.

3-2 Canucks after two in San Jose. This is going to be a good one. If any of you have a chance, tune this one in.

Now we all know the refs don't call embellishing penalties on Crosby.

I've seen the penalty called before. Usually unsportsmanlike conduct.

Happy the Flyers won. They put together a solid 60 minutes I thought. They gave up some chances but held their ground.

That goal off the Grabovski's (sp?) noggin was a first for me. It sounded weird when it hit him and I could see he was holding his head after the horn sounded. Glad he's okay and good for him on the creative use of the visor.
 
HOLY CRAP THE SHARKS ARE TURNING IT ON THE LAST 5 MINS IN SJ.

EDIT: And get the Payoff. Tie Game.

EDITx2 D. Sedin get's the go ahead on the PP.

EDITx3 Sharks get one on the PP and the Goalie pulled with 20 seconds left in the game to tie it. Going to OT.

Entertaining game at least in the last 10 minutes or so.

EDITx4 Canucks get the extra point in the Shootout.

This would have been a great game to watch from start to finish,...but I had a rehearsal after the Flyers game.
 
Leafs/Flyers game last night was a great game. Solid action start to finish. Both teams seemed hungry for the points for once and neither let off for very long. Brought back memories of some not-so-long-ago rivalry games between the two teams.

That one that went in off Grabovski's face shield initially had Boucher looking for a high stick no-goal call. He threw his arms up in the air really quick! Couldn't fault him for letting that one in. Both he and Reimer were playing great last night.
 
I'd love to catch EDM/DET tonight, but it looks like the wife has me penciled in for a movie and dinner.

Anyone keeping up with Jonas Hiller and his vertigo? Scary stuff anyway, but even more here since no one can figure out what brought it on. Then to cap it off, he feels perfectly fine off the ice. Weird........

I have a feeling it may be brought on by anxiety or an underlying condition like Meniere’s disease.

Definitely scary stuff.
 
Preds play again tonight against Colorado. We've been playing really hard the last few games, hopefully the playoffs closing in has really lit a spark in the team.

I'm looking for more of the same tonight, We've had the Avs number this year, posting 5 goals in every game we've played against them. I'm hoping tonight goes the same way.
