Rough night for goalies.

First off, Fleury shouldn't start game 5..dead serious. Also can't see how as a contending team, they move forward with him. He is what is bringing everyone else down..he's just flat out not very good.

 

Price: hurt, no update on game 5. Harding: hurt. Schneider: 2 goals allowed already.

as a pens fan, i agree. but it wasn't just him. they need some line changes too. and stop with the F*CKING turnovers in your own end!

Honest question: If they win this round, and go to the Cup as many predicted, but with Vokoun...what do you do with Fleury?

Probably just Alex Smith him. If V can be a better goalie than Fleury on this talented of a team, then they stick with V through and through. Of course, hockey has the benefit of being seven games, so they can insert Fleury back in if they're up 2-0 next round to test him.

I'm not really sure it was Fleury that was the problem; It was when Crosby came back they needed a couple of games to get the chemestry back with the lines. But they decided that Fleury needed a break and Vokoun played great but it also helped that the rest of the team was playing how they should've been playing.

imo, they'll be putting fleury in game 1 of next round. but if he starts doing bad again, they'll switch him out again. if that happens, trade or draft a young promising goalie to consider as the eventual replacement. vokoun isn't the answer long term. fleury's not all that bad, either. just needs his confidence back. just look at how good he was during the regular season. they had been putting him under too much pressure with all the bad turnovers and odd man rushes. he didn't really have a chance. but last night is a good indication that they've corrected that.

Two years ago the Bruins came back after falling behind 2-0 twice in the playoffs and went on to win the cup. Maybe the Kings can do the same.

With they could play every year. 98% of that series was spent tied or within a goal. Great low scoring hockey..could have went either way. And the Leafs have life!! Reimer stole us that game.

I am so glad the Caps have home ice because we can't win a damn game at MSG. Doesn't help that they had 0 power play opportunities.

So the Leafs force a game 7. Should be interesting since it'll be in Boston...

Canucks fans gonna hate on the Sharks but they dug their own grave in that series. Their comments were pretty prototypical Canuck whining too. I enjoyed McLellan's response. 

As for the Ducks, it looks like Hiller isn't Fasth enough.

I'm cool with the Wings advancing. They're going to have a tough time against the Blackhawks though.

Sharks v. Kings will be a very interesting series to watch as a Sharks fan on the East coast. Both teams are all about that dominating physicality, but the Sharks were the last team to beat the Kings in the playoffs in 2011...

I'm not really a fan of the Wings but I'm happy for their fans that their team is advancing.

You never get used to the playoffs, especially game sevens, they're like a heart attack with every play.

Bruins have had 8 Game 7's in the past 5 years. You kinda get used to them.

Well you have a first year coach and an up and coming goalie so it will only get better. The Bruins are stuck with Clod Julien and Chara.

Wow overtime for the Bruins/Leafs. If the Bruins come out jittery or as bad as they were earlier in the game, they're done. Toronto all but flopped over and died in the 3rd though.

I remember getting bounced by the Nucks like 3 years ago in 6, we should have at least pushed it to 7 we were so close! Then the choke job losing after being up 4-0 to the Sharks and also got bounced in 6, we had a few of those games and should have also at least pushed it to 7! (Kopi busted his ankle right before that series) :x Now it's time to avenge that loss, for the first time in 20 years the Kings have Home Ice BABY!!!! Look out!!! This Sharks team has to realize their window is closing so they will be hungry. Sorry Quacks, how did you guys lose game 7 at home?? Getting all those points and going home in a week must suck. And how did the Leafs choke??

The Leafs were up 4-1 then let 3 consecutive goals in the third and 1 in overtime because their defense (and offense) stopped doing anything remotely useful. Just about every goal looked easy to block or stop but their positioning was all over the place so they ended up relying on Reimer alone.

Much respect to the Leafs. I was extremely worried going into Game 7. Not sure if I would call that an epic collapse or an epic comeback. Maybe a bit of both. The game tying goal, Reimer couldn't do anything about that. Maybe the game winning goal but even then I don't know. Sometimes determination outweighs anything. I think that was the case in last night's game (or in the 3rd period/OT for the Bruins). Regardless I don't think a game that anyone will forget. It reminds us that in sports, anything is possible and which can sometimes be applied to our daily lives.

Great start for the Pens and the Kings maybe they could keep it up even though I'm rooting for the Sharks in the Kings and Sharks series; I like both teams since I like most teams in the West since my favorite team doesn't really play them a lot I don't mind if they win.

Well, I've had time to recover from Monday. Just...I...wow. I was worried at 4-1 still. Being a Leafs fan my whole life, you don't take any lead for granted. And I was right. The fact we're the first team to ever blow that kinda lead im GM 7 stings. The whole thing stings. We'll be back though. Reimer proved himself this season as a #1, maybe consideration for Sochi, and other than the 3rd goal, I can't fault him for the collapse. His rebound control stunk, but when up 4-2 and puck Boston's zone with under 2 minutes..team has to close it out. 

Kessel proved himself against Boston finally, and have a good core of players. Just need that first line C and a better D than Fraser/Koska/Holzer. Don't want Bozak back for the money he wants...gotta extend Kessel and Phaneuf before they hit FA in 2014 and hopefully sign MacCarthur. I'd like an extenssion for McClement too.

Well, go Kings. Just isn't the same.

The Sharks were fined $100,000 for public comments by GM.

The fine was issued for violation of League Rules that prohibit formal team statements to the media during the 48-hour period following a disciplinary decision. The Rule calls for an automatic fine of $25,000. The Sharks were fined an additional $75,000 under Article 6 of the League's Constitution due to the inappropriate nature of the comments.
