NJDevs4978 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 How about that, Vinny going at it with Iginla - and holding his own on top of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 (edited) That was stupid by Iginla. If TB get a PP, they have enough guns to get by without Vinny. But the Flames could really have used Iginla on their man advantage. BTW - this "exiciting" final has me falling asleep. What were the shots that period? 2-1?

NJDevs4978 Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 You're close enough, Tampa led in shots 5-2...that's seven shots by two teams in 20 minutes - and that's with five zillion power plays in the first period, to boot. I don't remember the last time I saw seven shots in 20 minutes in a DEVILS game That said, the physical play is getting good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekes Head Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 2-0 Flames (that was a NICE goal!) Go Flames Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHICO IS GOD Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 2-0 Flames, Simon with the first, Donovan with the 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge18 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Im really starting to dislike Calgary, all they have done against the faster teams is hold and use their sticks. Sure the hitting is great, but go the refs are letting Calgary take away all of Tampa's speed through obstruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 One of the best parts of watching an old game on ESPN classic is that there are no cuts in camera angles while the game is in play, they do it all the time now and it's really annoying. Plus it breaks up the flow, I don't need a closeup of Jassen Cullimore's nosehair whenever he handles the puck behind the net. Calgary has gotten away with a ton of clutching and grabbing, this game has been a bore so far. Hopefully St. Louis and Lecavalier help make it watchable in the 3rd.

CHICO IS GOD Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I'm surprised Simon made it through that interview, he looked like he was ready to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I still want the Flames to win, but I do have to agree with the sentiment of this thread -- they have been getting away with plenty, it's amazing. Crazy thing is, if a Bolt so much as BREATHES on a Flame, they get called for a penalty. Dayam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizDevil30 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I just watched Heaven yet again and the Devils scored 4 goals one game and 5 goals twice and they were boring????? Those games looked hard hitting and fast, the Devils created turnovers and offense. They were all over Detroit. (God I wish I saw them.) My point is, the Devils/Wings series was way better than this borefest. And yet the Devils get the boring trap rap. The Stevens hit on Kovlov was awesome. Is it true or just lore that he skated over to the Wings bench and said "You're next." Or was that another series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that after the hit, someone from the Wings bench said something to Stevens and Stevens replied with that but he didn't skate over to the Wings bench, he was leaning against the boards by the Devils bench if I remember correctly.

'7' Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 You couldn't pay a TV Network enough to broadcast this tripe. By 1995 standards the Devils were kind of boring, but they played a more exciting brand of hockey in the playoffs. By 2004 standards, the 1995 Devils are an exciting team.

NJDevs4978 Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 Third straight game that's a three-goal win, can we get one to go down to the wire in this 'exciting' series already? (Of course now that I say this the next one's probably gonna be a 5 OT game ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 If the Flames with the Cup, Iginla = MVP And if the Flames lose Iginla STILL might win it, given that Tampa's got a few equally deserving candidates - St. Louis, Fedotenko, Richards, Khabibulin, and they might wind up canceling each other out in the voting (much like all our guys canceled each other out last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 The guy with 5 shut-outs doesn't get consideration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 The guy with 5 shut-outs doesn't get consideration? Of course he gets consideration, but IMO Iginla is most deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 Well Marty had what, six, seven shutouts and he didn't get a sniff of the vote last year Neither did Hasek the year before. Besides, who votes on the Smythe - the media. Who's the media been publicizing ad nauseum from Calgary (and deservedly so for the most part) - Iginla.
