T-minus 12 minutes...

**The Fraze** · 05-16-2010, 04:59 PM

1-0

**The Fraze** · 05-16-2010, 05:55 PM

What a fucking intense game. 1-1 after 2 periods of play.

**LoDownM** · 05-16-2010, 06:48 PM

2-1. What happened The Fraze?

**The Fraze** · 05-16-2010, 06:54 PM

Wish I knew, incredibly disappointed right now. We looked sluggish in the third. My heart was beating so fast for the last 55 seconds that I probably don't have to go to the gym.

It's only game 1, we've had to fight adversity many times and have done well with it this year. Bring on the Hawks on Tuesday night.

Hopefully I can catch the Habs/Flyers tonight.

**The Fraze** · 05-16-2010, 09:51 PM

Um...

4-0 Philly after two? What the hell?

**The Fraze** · 05-16-2010, 10:41 PM

Wow, 6-0?

At least San Jose didn't get killed. What a bummer for the Habs.

**The Franchise** · 05-16-2010, 10:58 PM

Yeah, did not expect such a lop sided game.

**The Fraze** · 05-16-2010, 11:19 PM

I think Tuesday night is going to answer a lot of questions for both series. The Sharks and Canadiens will have a lot to prove now that they've gone down 1-0.

**El Fangel** · 05-17-2010, 01:36 AM

I was burnt out and fell asleep about an hour before the game started and woke about an hour after it was over.

Needless to say that was probably a good thing.

**The Fraze** · 05-17-2010, 01:39 AM

You probably would be much more upset if you had watched it.

**El Fangel** · 05-17-2010, 01:44 AM

Yeah, I need that TV to watch the rest of the playoffs, so it was probably a very good thing I didnt watch the game itself.

Seriously, something in the water in Philly.

Boucher was solid and Leighton has now let in one goal in 2.5 games.

**The Fraze** · 05-17-2010, 01:47 AM

Something's goin on over there...

**El Fangel** · 05-17-2010, 01:57 AM

I think he stole Halaks water bottle.

**The Fraze** · 05-17-2010, 02:03 AM

That MUST be it.

**El Fangel** · 05-17-2010, 05:26 AM

How else do you explain it?

Also, if Habs dont win, I think I would be ok with Chicago, just so that Toronto will then have the longest current cup drought in the NHL.

**The Fraze** · 05-17-2010, 03:36 PM

Ouch...

I know it's only been since 1991, but that's how long The Sharks have existed. They've never even been to the cup final. COME ON!

**LoDownM** · 05-17-2010, 04:37 PM

So have lots of teams.

Phoneix Coyotes
Nashville Predators
Atlanta Thrashers
Columbus Blue Jackets
Minnesota Wild

To name a few.

None of which are currently still in the playoffs or have a chance to do so this year.

Win

St. Louis has never won a cup, so technically, Toronto and St. Louis will be tied for the longest cup drought if the Hawks win.

**The Franchise** · 05-17-2010, 04:50 PM

At least the Blues have been to the finals since then! Much more than you can say for the Laughs

Although the Blues losing 3 years straight in the finals in the 70s is pretty rough

That would be pretty terrible.

**Droford** · 05-17-2010, 05:41 PM

Caps signed Backstrom to 10 year 68 million contract.

How are they gonna pay other players besides Ovechkin/Semin/Backstrom?

They aren't, unless they expect the cap to go up, or are willing to go over, not sure what the penalty is for it.

**Droford** · 05-17-2010, 06:03 PM

I was unaware that the NHL salary cap was structured in such a way that the cap hit per year is the total of the players deal divided by the number of years the deal is for. So the cap hit per year for Backstrom is $6.7 million, even though at the end of the contract he'll be making $8 million. The Cap for 09 was $56 million, figure that it is at least that next year. They've got $22.4 million tied up in those 3 players.

Even better info

Prior to the Backstrom signing they had $38.4 million in salary committed for the 10-11 season, and 8 Unrestricted Free Agents and 7 Restricted Free Agents still to sign. So with the Backstrom signing they now have $45.1 million committed for next year which is $11 million short of this years cap and still have 14 FA's to sign. Guessing trades? Theodore won't be resigned thats for sure. Plus Semin is a FA next year, find it hard to figure they'll be able to resign him.

**The Fraze** · 05-17-2010, 06:07 PM

God I wish my high school coach wasn't such a piece of shit. Pro athletes make so much goddamn money.

Just want to say that while I forgot about that, Toronto still has the longer cup drought.

They won the cup last in May/June of the 1966-1967 year
Blues didnt play their first season and thus didnt have a chance to win the cup until 1967-1968 playoffs.

Still, sucks ass for both teams.

**LoDownM** · 05-17-2010, 07:10 PM

What? St. Louis started playing in 67-68, the season AFTER Toronto last won, SAME amount of years/seasons without a cup.

**OssMan** · 05-17-2010, 07:35 PM

I doubt Semin comes back after next year.

Backstom, Green and Ovy at like 24million

Yeah, I cant see it either.

**OssMan** · 05-18-2010, 12:07 AM

Would rather have Semin 432940234230 times over Mike Green the Turnover Machine

**El Fangel** · 05-18-2010, 12:19 AM

The 4th Foward?

**The Franchise** · 05-19-2010, 12:53 AM

Leighton's good.

**El Fangel** · 05-19-2010, 12:53 AM

Leightsout.

**The Fraze** · 05-19-2010, 05:36 AM

WHAT

THE

FUCK

!?

So f'n bummed right now...

**The Franchise** · 05-19-2010, 05:48 AM

The Hawks are fucking aggressive. I loved watching that game, hopefully the Sharks will TURN IT UP for game 3 at "the nest"

**The Fraze** · 05-19-2010, 05:52 AM

Nabakov is so overrated. We pelt the fuckin net and nothing goes in. They take one shot on Nabby and as long as they set a screen, they fuckin score. This has been the story for our entire playoff run. We're now just playing a damn good team.

God I'm irritated.
