TAMPA BAY GP 2 GA 8 GAA 4.00

I don't even know what to say anymore? Man, what a start. My OT player has a hatrick with half a game to play! My main man Alexander Semin didn't want to be outdone by Olli Jokinen so busts out three early goals. This has been such a rush to get into the playoffs, and now I'm looking like I could go up 3-0 in the series!

Who was it that wanted to bet me Semin wouldn't score 30 goals and 70 points? I predicted it even before the season started y'all and he's already got 37 goals now.

Just saw another stat today that Pominville is tied for the league lead in even strength goals with Vincent Lecavalier with 27. Wow.... a dynasty is born.

I sat Belanger tonight. One of the toughest decisions I've had all season.

you are running good. you got some real playoff performers

Game is getting close now. Man, that Belanger goal could end up being huge?

Looks like this might be Swackers chance to get one from Big M's too....



BTW, Daniel, Jason Ward said to say hello...

No way, let him know I had him on the team last year... had to dump him though to make room for Semin. I'm sure he'll understand, lol.

Not with Tampa Bay goalies he's not... I have a feeling my game is far from over also and that Belanger decision will be key. It was so weird, I had four forwards with all good matchups that have all played well recently but I could only start three of them. Since I had Tkachuk already in the lineup, I went with Perry, Malone, and J. Jokinen.

Damn, the Caps are eventually going to be a very good team, Semin is turning out unbelievably sick.

Ovechkin, Semin, Fleischmann, Fehr, Backstrom are all going to be dyn-o-mite, and the giroux kid looks pretty solid too.

this is getting close, Perry + Jokinen + Vlasic + O'donnell with an A, Tkachuk with an extra G,

but Ravens has goals from O'Sullivan + Guerin + Michalek plus 2A from O'Sullivan and I think an A or two for Michalek/Guerin and goaltending all tied up, it's going to come down to the wire, but DN's got to play a little catchup.

Bob looks like he's going down tonight.

LOL, yeah, Wardo remembered that from when we were talking to him at the Toronto/Ranger game we went to.

Wow this is a close one, and how good is Colorado playing right now? The western conference is DREADING them getting in that 8th spot. Budaj is finally giving them some steady goaltending, and the young guys and sakic are really lighting the lamp. Man if we could get Jordon Leopold back healthy too.... could have this years oilers.

Wow, I feel better, at least not putting Belanger in the lineup didn't cost me. Ravens just brought it.

Sucks for the Thieves that Ravens comes up so big on a fairly short night, gj to Bob's D which doesn't usually have to chip in to win, tough luck for Swackers and TB goaltending.

Well Its about time and you still had your best offensive output of the series.
Hope you prepared for a long drawn out battle as I am not going away without a fight!!!!

If you check out the scores tonight, it's looking like we are headed for an interesting final as the Shack conference is coming on strong. The Ravens-Thieves series could come down to the wire as it looks like games 4 and 5 are likely to be split as one team has no goalies on seperate nights.

Final Score Big M's 2 Swackers 1.

It really sucks being stuck with only one Goalie on a night. I have good luck when I get to choose...

Boyle has disapeared on me....my latest Magic trick...damn.

Three Stars of the Night:

EDDIE SHACK CONFERENCE:

1. Alexander Semin, Cheap Thieves
2. Alexei Zhitnik, Red Ravens
3. Patrick O'Sullivan, Red Ravens

TIGER WILLIAMS CONFERENCE:

1. Ryan Whitney, The Big M's
2. Teemu Selanne, The Big M's
3. Wade Redden, Swackers

Brendan Morrow scores in his first game back on an unrelated note.

Also, what's DM been up to? 1 post in three days?

I was thinking the same thing earlier...

I feel like maybe we should send s+r up to Sudbury. Middle of AHL playoffs and he's gone AWOL. Maybe it's just that Serge finally drove him over the edge though...

I was down in Mississauga for the weekend visiting family. Thanks for the thoughts.

yes u were missed...rumour is you are looking to make a comeback on your movie career.
