Has Roy packed it in or what?? I feel bad for everyone on the AV's, minus their head coach. Truly a sorry thing to watch unless your'e a winged wheel fan.
Only two more periods to go. That Laker/Kings game is looking a lot more interesting after watching one period of this.
Is that really Patrick Roy under the mask? I think they took him out and replaced him with an evil clone. C'mon. What else can explain this shit?

/edit And now after 6 goals in 16 shots, Roy is gone. Maybe the real Roy is now in goal, so as to fool those horrible Red Wings? Or maybe this is the worst conference playoff ever?

It's not Colorado, it's Roy. He's been shaky all series long, more so than he typically is and it's because of Hasek. *Olympic flashbacks* Roy has had the luxury of playing w/ guys like Forsberg and Sakic, LeClair, Carbonneau and Damphouse, Desjardins, Muller and others while Hasek hadn't had anybody even close to that caliber of team mates until this year.
We may be seeing Roy's final hurrah's. Many times though, we don't realize it until years later. Ie; Moog, Fuhr. Roy will bounce back though. *Statue of Liberty pose*
I have to totally disagree that this game was Roy's fault, as except for Federov's goal, the rest of the first six came off total defensive breakdowns on Colorado's part. And Roy as a career ``shaky'' goaltender? Why don't you insult not only him, but every other goalie in the league who has stats that pale next to his?
Detroit showed up to play tonight and Colorado didn't; it's as simple as that. I'm pissed. I wanted a war.
Hopefully Carolina will be able to take it to Detroit.

Well, in hindsight, I'd have preferred a better game.
But, I don't care. I'm a Wings fan.

I might get flamed but Hasek = overrated. He's got a gold medal...that's it. He lost to Ed Belfour in the Finals once already. I'm so pulling for that hockey hotbed Carolina to pull this out
i think carolina will be very similar to the canucks, only a little bit better and more playoff experience. i hope irbe gets torched...if only claude lemieux was on the hurricanes so i could find some way to hate them.
Marge: Mr. Scorpio, this house is almost too good for us. I keep expecting to get the bums rush. Scorpio: We don't have bums in our town, Marge, and if we did, they wouldn't rush, they'd be allowed to go at their own pace.
Perhaps you remember us from the thread from almost exactly one year ago. In January, Crosby's long-presumed double-concussion was essentially re-diagnosed as a neck injury that was mimicking concussion symptoms (headaches and balance problems)
