The Blues takes out Habs in a thrilling 6-game series! An incredibly nerve wrecking Conference Semi Final was played yesterday between Coach Depchie and Coach Fistzo, with no less than 4 out of the 6 games being decided by the odd goal (Blues claiming three of them). First game was close, like two boxers jabbing at each other, circling around the ring in hope of finding gaps in each others defense. With 12 seconds left of 3rd, Hull sealed the victory with a breakaway goal. 4-3 Blues Second game became another Hull show with no less than three goals scored by #16. Result: 5-2 Blues Third was indeed a replay of the first game, with Hull making the GWG in 3rd period. 4-3 Blues Fourth and fifth game were basically like twins, with Roy making spectacular saves and D-men Schneider and Brisebois playing at their very top level, only allowing Blues to score twice in six periods! Was another Miracle on Ice about to happen? You could feel the tension in the AIM conversation room! Results: 4-1 MTL , 2-1 MTL Sixth and final game, probably the most dramatic out of them all, with both teams playing excellent defensive hockey. After three played periods, the scoreboard said 2-2, and none of the four goals were scored by any of the teams star players. So when the teams reached OT, who else than good 'ol #16 just HAD to ruin the party for Montreal? That's right. Brett hull scored the OT winner after 2:03 minutes, thus scoring his 3rd GWG in the series. Excellent series which could've ended differently, but in the end took the best '94 player to the Conference Finals. Wish you best of luck in the rest of the playoffs, kompis!

Quit your dayjobs and get your games in buds!!

Best available goalie, thank you!

Wonderful thread! I'm getting married next year, so I suppose you could say I'm halfway of having a wife (and ex-wife for that matter if you're a pessimist). I have nothing extreme to contribute to this, but I suppose anyone of us who has a partner has received the occasional "roll eyes" when you're trying to tell them you're busy with a trade or looking up the next draft pick. Sometimes I try to keep the mood up by saying "I'm dedicating this win to you, honey", but for some weird reason it doesn't work...

California looks great! Thanks man

4.17 Bienvenue en California, Patrice Brisebois!

I'd be thankful if someone could change the uniform of California Golden Seals to something like this:

Just finished a great series against Minpind. Edmonton wasn't quite on their toes in the 1st game and ended up losing 1-7 at home against the Canadiens. In the second game Coach Minpind rallied his troops, sharpened the defense, and equalized the series with a 3-1 victory (Kevin Todd 2 goals in 3rd period). Third game was the closest one and had to end in OT after a vicious 3rd period which in the last few mins was dominated by Montreal, but Edmonton made a good effort the last 20 secs being only inches away from sealing the victory. Lebeau, pumped up by the support from the home crowd, only needed 12 secs in OT to make the GWG and put Le Canadiens in front. Fourth game was a nailbiter in which Muller had to schore no less than four goals to keep hunting Oilers at bay. Klima making it 3-4 with 2:14 to go in the last period raised Coach Fitzo's pulse to at least 200 BPM. 3-1 Montreal. Fifth game might not seem close when you look at the scores (7-3 MTL). But Montreal was only up one goal with about four minutes to go in the 3rd, when unexpected hero Denis Savard decided to score no less than three goals within 1:20 mins, silencing the home crowd in Edmonton and seizing the series for Montreal. Great series bud, see you in GDL!

Totally understandable bud! GL to ya all!
