Rozsival scores!!! Rangers win 2-1 in the second OT.

Great game by the Rangers. They should have won it in regulation. Aside from the disallowed goal, the Rangers got called for every minor infraction while the Sabres got off scott-free. The Sabres had 6 PPs to the Rangers' 0 at one point in the latter part of the game. The officiating in these playoffs has been burtal

Luongo just ****ed up so hard. ITs very rare he does that.

Well, he did pretty much the same thing in game 1 too

refs handed that game to vancouver, thank god they suck. woo ducks!

LOL yup. The officiating was the worst and most one sided I've seen these playoffs. It was an absolute joke. Some of those penalties, like R. Niedermayer's slash to Ohlund's stick. I didnt know stick-to-stick contact was a penalty.

We now have a tie in the Rangers-Sabres series. Another close call that went New Yorks way apparently.

The Ducks win and take a 3-1 series lead, i don't think the 'Nucks will come back from this. Not that i have anything against them of course.....

hey rajput, are you originally from Montreal? I'm from Montreal but I used to live in Surrey for a while. I never had anything against the Canucks and their fans, in fact, I supported them in the '94 Cup run, but when I got to know them, I started to build a strong hatred for everything Canucks.

Might as well throw out my predictions as well lol.

Conference Quarter Finals

Sharks going to take out the Wings

Ducks going to take out Canucks

Sabres going to take out Rangers

Sens going to take out Devils

Conf. Finals

Sabers vs. Sens

Ducks vs. Sharks

Finals

Sens vs. Sharks

Stanley Cup Champs

Sharks

I agree except I expect Buffalo to make it to the finals.

Even as a Rangers fan, I'm surprised how well they are doing against Buffalo. I recognize that the Sabres are a very good team, so I'd love for the series to go to seven. Of course, you all know my dream about a Red Wings v. Rangers Original Six Final...

You know, with my work schedule, I went to bed before the Canucks game wrapped up. Can anyone tell me the final score? Axon?

I think this is the most talented bunch of teams, from top to bottom, Ive seen in the playoffs. IMO that strike was excellent for the NHL, the rule changes and superstars spread out across the league = what we have here. Plus Joe Thornton in a Sharky uni! :ike:

no i wish, i would die for a chance to live in Montreal or even go there. I here the city of gorgeous and tons of fun if you are a kid in your twenties. My dad has been watching hockey since the original six era, he hated the leafs so Montreal was the only other Canadian team. I was pretty much raised on the habs, born in 86 the year they won the cup so i kinda figure their would be no way my dad would allow me to love any other team. He says the reason he put me and my little brother in french immersion was to teach him french and translate the interviews of the habs players and commentators on RDS. The reason i love the ducks because i was seven when the first duck movie came out and loved them ever since because of the movies (yup, Disney blatant media advertising worked on me). And you're reason for hating the canucks is exact same reason i hate them. Hab fans and canuck's fans are completely different. Most canuck fans aren't even real and are totally ignorant. You look up "bandwagon" and you are bound to find something about the canuck fans. No loyalty at all. If a Montreal fan had something showing Montreal on their car or house, it would NEVER EVER come down, here in this area, they already started coming down... I have nothing against the real fans, and they are hard to find, but they exist, but the rest are sick.

edit: also they are ridiculously sensitive and making fum of them is a good time.

The battle of California is starting to seem like a reality! Ducks-Sharks will be an incredible series.

Hey rajput, I hate to bunch all Canucks fans into one category, because I know there are some true fans, but I can't disagree with what you said. Strange thing is that I'm also a Ducks fan for a couple reasons. I had a soft spot for them in their Cup run a 4-5 years ago. I hated, and still hate NJ, so pulling for Anaheim was the obvious choice. Signing one of my favourite players in Selanne was a good move, and now that I live in LA, I had 2 choices: Kings or Ducks. I went to a couple Kings and Ducks games, and I liked the Ducks and their fans a lot more than the Kings ;)

It must be nice to be able to go to games without having to know somebody that can hook you up.

lol ass.

3-2 Ducks in OT after the Canucks blew a 2-0 with 15mins left in the game

Appreciated, but R-Flex was just trying to take a shot at me. I ended up having to ferry him home before overtime started, thus depriving him of the ability to gloat when Anaheim scored. :crazy:

Well it's all over for Vancouver, next year they better get Luongo some better defencemen, also I see Gary Bettman has his wish to eliminate another Canadian team from the playoffs, still desperately tryng to pawn of his version of the NHL to the US market, and of course the referee's are favoring the US teams.

Next on Bettman's elimination list is Ottawa, they may make the next round, but after that you can be guaranteed the ref's will ensure the boss gets his wish, an all American final.

I have nothing against Americans, hell i'm almost an American myself I work and spend 60% of my personal time in the USA, but i'm just tired of seeing the NHL try to gain an audience that only 40% of the USA population even knows Professional Ice Hockey exists.

Vancouver got too beat up from the Dallas series.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
