WCQ Game 2: Overtime Overflow Thread
Because 400 comments is too many for a single thread. Keep the insanity going here.
Milan Hejduk tips a John-Michael Liles slap shot for a goal with just seconds left on the clock. To overtime we go, again.
And the Wild look really tired.

Re: Sweet
Correction, it was The Duke. But Smyth had set a perfect screen on Backstrom, the best goalie in the world.
If we win this series...
then I say he's earned it.

Re: Overtime Overflow Thread
I turned off the game after what's-his-face's uber-soft goal.
Do I turn it on again?
I think, NO.
Rockin!
I didn't think we would make it past the 350 mark.
Can we get a goal girl for the new thread?
Someone
someone get this girl a goal girl!! I'm still trying to climb on the ceiling here! That was sah-weeeeeeet!

Well
This is the first Avs playoff game I see live and let me just say this has been an awesome experience, what a game. Playoffs are so much better than regular season, it is amazing to watch this...
GO AVS
Grats
And much props to you watching form portugal.. what is it 3:00 in the morning?
by Jibblescribbits on Apr 11, 2008 9:39 PM MDT up reply actions
Yep
This is playoff hockey, and it is sweet.

Are you watching on Sopcast
I put another hole in my door
after the Koivu goal...I have one door I am allowed to punch since it already has a hole in it.
hahahaha
lol. Yeah, I was pretty hella pissed off too.

I was only 28 when this series started...
I now feel like I'm about 48. At this rate I'll be past retirement age once the series is over.
I wonder if they'll let me collect on CPP...

Re: Looks
Yep, official goal credited to Milan Hejduk. There was so much traffic it was tough to tell, and Versus had no idea at all.
Awesome
Just playoff hockey at its best.... this is just fun as hell.
Lets go get another one in OT
Yeah
This is why I watch. Awesome indeed.

Total Side Note
Does anyone know what they did with the banner we all signed welcoming back Forsberg and Foote? Did they hand it in the locker room or something or was it just a fan gimmick?
Johnsson
should have got an extra two for getting in the refs face like that after the last penalty. I don't think I've ever seen anyone get that agressive towards an official without the extra two.
Yeah
That's right, he was all swinging that stick around violent-like.

Re: Johnsson
Those refs are laughing all the way to the bank. Somebody has greased their palms big time.
Funny
I was thinking the same thing about Q after one of the penalty calls. I was holding my breath hoping he wouldn't take a penalty for his loud-mouth red-face ranting.
Holy crap...
Don't read any further if you're squeamish...and sorry if this was posted in the other thread and I missed...
Patrick Thorensen from the Flyers might lose a testicle after taking a shot to the junk in the Flyers-Caps game.
He was taken to the hospital with "swelling" issues.
My goodness.

Re: Holy crap...
God, poor man. If he ends up losing it, he can console himself with the knowledge that Lance Armstrong won all his Tours de France with just one nut.
And a lot of HGH, but that's beside the point.
Ahh damn.
That's a shame.
I don't ever want to say I'm happy after a loss, but how can you not be happy after we tie that one up in the last minute.
Re: Crap
Yeah, so much for "Captain Clutch." Sakic was as much to blame for that goal as anybody. He didn't shut down Koivu.
Can't tell
Carney? Seriously?
The worst part is in my pool, Carney, Mr. One goal on the last day of the regular season, scores and is the guy i was making fun of my sister for taking in the playoff pool.
God damned Karma
by Jibblescribbits on Apr 11, 2008 9:51 PM MDT up reply actions
Karma
It's a bitch, isn't it?
Of course, I would have done the same thing.
First playoff goal for Carney since 1999!

From now on...
My name is "Earl" Karma will be on my time

Yea
Well hopefully when the game isn't in St. Paul the officials can actually call an even game. And if our D-men will stop deflecting pucks in for you, you guys are done!
by Americanario on Apr 11, 2008 10:04 PM MDT up reply actions
damn
1-1
See you tomorrow...
Still, I'm more confident than ever: we have proved we can win this series.
Oh yes
without the home cookin' the wild are toast. I doubt that Burns will get away with his 24-7 mugging at the Can.
by Bob in Boulder on Apr 11, 2008 9:52 PM MDT up reply actions
Well
Considering the insanity of this series, the Avs are in good shape heading back to Denver. A split series and a serious home advantage.
Stealing game 1 was huge, and the Avs are still in the better position.
And the Wild can be worn down, that's for sure.
Who's Skate
I watched the two replays and still could not tell whose skate it bounced off of. No matter. When a goalie is out of position, the opposition will score. We still have the upper hand, IMO. Two games at the Can? The Mild are toast.
Pretty sure it was Salei's skate
so it would be Carney's goal. Damn, they almost managed to sweep in Minny. Sandy f's up and doesn't call that last PP a 6-on-3.
by Bob in Boulder on Apr 11, 2008 9:54 PM MDT up reply actions
This sucks
:'( but really, it's more >:( and then it's like >:O wtf, again off our d-man's skate?!?!? ~>:O

Yeah
that's pretty much exactly what I meant. Where did you learn to understand that language? lol
by Mike the Avs Fan on Apr 11, 2008 10:17 PM MDT up reply actions
lol
Yeah it is kind of like hieroglyphics.... lol
by Mike the Avs Fan on Apr 11, 2008 10:16 PM MDT up reply actions
Oh well
We've got two full days to watch other games and get over our disappointment.
See everybody tomorrow morning in the recap.
Thanks again for the enormous turnout for the game thread, and let's all get excited for Monday's return to Denver!
Yeah,
but I have college Monday AND Tuesday evening :'( Oh well, I should catch the 3rd both days.

I'm retiring my Sakic Away jersey
Also whats up with the message count limit, It blocked my posting messages around the time the Wild won.
Ceremonial Cremation
My old (it wasn't white anymore it was that old)away jersey has to be retired also.
The funeral is Sunday and viewing is tomorrow during Sportscentre.
Re: I'm retiring
There's a message count limit set to prevent bot spamming. It almost never becomes an issue under normal posting situations.
And the limit resets itself after 30 seconds or so.
Hopefully you won't have that issue again.
I'll be switching
from my personalized 3rd to the home and sending the 3rd to the cleaners to wash out the Minny funk.
