2009 western conference finals Stories - Pounding The Rock
Funny! That Gut Punch Didn't Feel So Bad
Probably because I'm a little too used to the Red Wings punching me there. I've become desensitized to it, I guess. Or it could be because just like the Dallas Stars last year, the Chicago Blackhawks weren't expected to go this far this season. Like the Stars, they won their first two playoff...
Helm Propels Wings back to Stanley Cup Finals With OT Winner
The Detroit Red Wings knew a return to the Stanley Cup Finals would be a tough task. Not only did they have to take down a Chicago Blackhawks squad that was fighting for their playoff life, they had to do so without the services of Nicklas Lidstrom, Pavel Datsyuk, Kris Draper and Jonathan Ericsson....
Western Conference Finals Game 4: Open Thread
The Beef looks to lead his team up 3-1 over the Pastel Playas in Denver. Tonight's game has the potential to answer the eternal question: what's more atrocious, Denver's inbound passing or Domino's new pasta in bread bowls? Discuss. And don't feed the trolls.
Well It Looks Like That Stanley Cup Finals Rematch is Going to Materialize
Not that I'm happy about it. In fact, today's game was so infuriating on so many levels that I honestly thought just writing a one word recap. Dumb. Dumb from the head coach on down to Kris Versteeg and Ben Eager. Those two were more interested in getting retribution on the Red Wings than they...
Saturday überloser thread (WCF Game 3: Lakers @ Nuggets)
Ever wake up feeling great, even though things are terrible? Feeling like almost everything is right in the world, even though life gives you rancid lemons? If so, you're probably one of the losers people this thread is intended for. You see, even though our beloved Silver and Black were...
Stanley Cup Playoffs: How to Lose a Game in 10 Seconds
Give or take a few seconds. Look, I needed a snappy title for this post. Step 1: Get a little too overzealous in the offensive zone and press for a game winner of your own in OT. Granted, had the Hawks scored with the help of that pressure, I wouldn't be talking about this. But they didn't. When...
Samuelsson lifts Wings past Blackhawks in Game 2
All of the talk leading up to the Western Conference finals was about how the Detroit Red Wings were waiting for guys like Marian Hossa, Pavel Datsyuk and Tomas Holmstrom to step up and start scoring goals. However, in similar fashion to Game 1, it was the non first-liners coming up big for the...
Rapid Reaction: Lakers Hang on by the Skin of Their Teeth
Mr. Big Shot lived up to his name, but it wasn't quite enough. In one of the most exciting finishes this entire playoffs, the Lakers pulled out Game 1 105-103. Kobe and 'Melo battled to the death, both having spectacular games on both ends of the floor. Ultimately, it came down to Denver's...
Western Conference Finals Game 1 Open Thread
I know it's a bit early, but I'm itchin' for some basketball, and I know you folks are too. Lot of good storylines in this one, and lots of questions... Will Kobe Beef take The Logo's words to heart and fizzle into the the smoggy LA night, or will he rise to the challenge and put on a show for the...
