Before the overtime, two big 3rd period calls. No penalty on a late hit on Dobes. The Sabres tied it off of the next faceoff. Then an early whistle prevented what could have been a go ahead goal for the Sabres

Olé, Olé, Olé!

2nd straight game that the Habs, with a chance to win the series, have blown a 2-goal lead.

Habs had been sleepwalking through the 2nd. This 2-1 goal better wake them up.

Not only do the Habs have a 2-0 lead after the 1st period of Game 7, but both goals have been scored by Quebecois.

I’m hoping. My flight from Asia gets in at 10:15 ET and I have low hopes for wifi before then. I don’t think I can count on more than the 2nd half of the 4th and that will be with Blaha, who legendary as he is, tends to forget he is calling this series for radio not TV. I’ve watched each game of the series over breakfast here (Japan and Taiwan) for $5.99 a pop via League Pass. But I’m an admitted fair weather/bandwagon Pistons fan so my travel schedule isn’t really a good enough reason for the league to schedule the game for 8pm.

I’ve been to a game today (Sunday). Dragons vs Monkeys in Taiwan’s Chinese Baseball League. 400 NT$ (US$13) to get in. One beer for NT$50 (US$1.60), two for NT$80 (US$2.55) and all-you-can drink beer for NT$150 (US$ 4.80).

The Pistons’ 21-pt win tied an NBA record for biggest margin of victory for a Game 6 by a road team facing elimination, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo did the same with their 8-3 win at the Bell Centre tonight.

Biggest legacy of the goal was the Avs-Wings rivalry. If the Wings had lost to their Blues there would have been no Claude Lemieux-Kris Draper incident. The goal also eliminated any chance of Yzerman being traded.

3 goals on 3 shots against Alex Lyon.

Wow, a 2nd is a big penalty. And then when Torts wears out his welcome in Vegas he will go back to being a media member himself.

Mitch Marner with 18 pts to lead the NHL in playoff scoring this spring. If the Leafs are back in playoff position at next season’s deadline, they may wish to trade for him, as a proven playoff performer could help the Leafs get far.
