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.

WOWOWOOWOWOW!!!!!

Did he even tip that though? I was too busy trying to climb on the ceiling from joy!

Re: Wowowowow

Yep, it clipped him on the way in.

Re: Sweet

Correction, it was The Duke.  But Smyth had set a perfect screen on Backstrom, the best goalie in the world.

Re: Overtime Overflow Thread
Checking In.

I turned off the game after what's-his-face's uber-soft goal.  

Do I turn it on again?

I think, NO.

by Mike @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:33 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

What?

Turn that shit back on!

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:34 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I am

Only because you told me to...

Rockin!

I didn't think we would make it past the 350 mark.

Can we get a goal girl for the new thread?

by texacogirl on Apr 11, 2008 9:33 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

Almost 5,000 miles away... It's the Portuguese Avs Fan!

Re: Grats

I think he said 4:30 in the morning.

Yep

This is playoff hockey, and it is sweet.

Are you watching on Sopcast
because all the feeds i tried to watch wouldn't work, i don't know whether it's just my computer but i have VLC and Sopcast installed and it always says it can not retrieve data.

by Savage33 on Apr 11, 2008 9:44 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well

I was watching on a high-quality Versus feed, it was great...

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.

lol. Yeah, I was pretty hella pissed off too.

Re: I put another...

Uh, try not to destroy anything.  And don't break your hand.

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.

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:38 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

My Bad
my computers taking it's sweet time to load and i'm getting confused. Plus They still haven't said anything about it on the intermission report.

by Savage33 on Apr 11, 2008 9:41 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

Replays on TSN show it hit le Duke and Smytty.

by Drakenlot on Apr 11, 2008 9:43 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Awesome

Just playoff hockey at its best.... this is just fun as  hell.

Lets go get another one in OT

by Macbond21 on Apr 11, 2008 9:38 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

This is why I watch. Awesome indeed.

w00t

I love playoff OT, and so far both games involve us!

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?

by texacogirl on Apr 11, 2008 9:40 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Bob in Boulder on Apr 11, 2008 9:43 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:44 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't know

This isn't Baseball where we spit on the refs, but he was delaying the game...

by Drakenlot on Apr 11, 2008 9:44 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by texacogirl on Apr 11, 2008 9:45 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

Damn
that sucks, and is incredibly unlucky. Hope he's OK

OT underway

Puck drops, OT underway.

Forsberg's line is out first.

Sakic

TSN is calling Super Joe "Captain Clutch."

And he's on the ice.

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:48 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

Mir ist egal.

by Selanne on Apr 11, 2008 9:49 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

crap

that was one weak ass shift.  And Carney?  I thought he died?  Off a skate.

by Bob in Boulder on Apr 11, 2008 9:49 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:51 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Goal?

Post or Salei's stick?

by HawkEye19 on Apr 11, 2008 9:49 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Karma

It's a bitch, isn't it?

Of course, I would have done the same thing.

First playoff goal for Carney since 1999!

by HawkEye19 on Apr 11, 2008 9:54 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

From now on...

My name is "Earl" Karma will be on my time

by Jibblescribbits on Apr 11, 2008 9:55 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

damn

1-1

See you tomorrow...

Still, I'm more confident than ever: we have proved we can win this series.

Almost 5,000 miles away... It's the Portuguese Avs Fan!

by Luis on Apr 11, 2008 9:49 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Re: Oh yes

Yep.  The Wild don't stand a chance at 5280 feet.

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:54 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:51 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No more Heart Attacks

Please?

I wonder how many games here will be 3-2

by Drakenlot on Apr 11, 2008 9:52 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by texacogirl on Apr 11, 2008 9:52 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

This sucks

:'( but really, it's more >:( and then it's like >:O wtf, again off our d-man's skate?!?!? ~>:O

Your typing looks more like hieroglyphics than English.

LOL

Yup.  Did you mean grrrr  and then grrrr and off of d-man's skate grrrrr?

by texacogirl on Apr 11, 2008 9:58 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

lol

Yeah it is kind of like hieroglyphics.... lol

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!

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 9:58 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Thanks Joe!

Exciting hockey kicks ass. Night all.

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
for the 3rd and 4th game i will be wearing my Home Budaj jersey as i watch games 3 and 4 at home because there both shown in Australia on Foxtel. As such i will not be appearing in the thread as i will be at work when they're played and am forced to watch a delayed telecast assuming noone changes the channel while it's taping.

Also whats up with the message count limit, It blocked my posting messages around the time the Wild won.  

by Savage33 on Apr 11, 2008 10:21 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Drakenlot on Apr 11, 2008 10:29 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Joe @ MHH on Apr 11, 2008 10:39 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'll be switching

from my personalized 3rd to the home and sending the 3rd to the cleaners to wash out the Minny funk.
