Monday Links: Game 7s For Everyone Edition

How 'bout those Sunday pucks, eh? Both of the Stanley Cups teams from last year netted OT winners to force a Game 7. Mighty impressive.

Hawk Fans stink sometimes

They boo-ed Crawford as he left the ice with an injury on that penalty shot goal.

They are like school on Saturday, NO CLASS!

Whaddya mean, ''sometimes?''

Hawk fans suck 99-44/100% of the time.

I’ll make an exception for Sam and a few of the others from The Committed Indian, but for the vast majority of Hawk fans, i wouldn’t bother to piss in their mouths if their teeth were on fire.

Now that I've seen the credits...

… I’ll have to watch it again, just to place all the actors. I got maybe half of them the first time through.

Man

What the hell canucks? You can’t beat the lowest seeded team in the first? Seriously? I’ve said Luongo was overrated for a long time and every year they just prove me more and more right.

Barret Jackman is my hero.

Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.

It was the Nucks goalie schnider

Holy crap, was that a sweet behind-the-back pass on Tampa's second goal, or what?

That was awesome. It had Fleury totally fooled.

Wow, you gotta feel bad for that poor kid for the Penguins...

I’ve never seen anyone overskate the puck like that on a penalty shot.

he didn't overskate it

he accidentally tapped the puck on end when he was stickhandling. Seen Kariya do that and then shoot a knuckler with it to score while on the fly.

Maybe, but there's considerable difference between Paul Kariya...

…and this kid on callup from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Bad penalty by Ohlund...

You can’t keep giving Pittsburgh opportunities on the PP like this.

umm

I heard that Luongo was so depressed after being pulled twice that he tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of an 18 wheeler. Lucky for him it went between his legs.
