  1. 5 guys in between the two blue lines is the very definition of the the trap. Anaheim played it that way on every play they could. But there was nothing boring about it IMO.

    On Perry's goal with 3 minutes left they were still sending 2 guys in to the Ottawa end. Alfie gets forechecked and gives the puck up and you know the rest.

  2. I just had to post this for the Ottawa fans out there. It's from The North Bay Osprey.

    Senators lose and Leaf Nation is overjoyed

    I’m rather amused this morning at all the joy in the Leaf nation.

    The Ottawa Senators were dispatched from the Stanley Cup finals in five quick games, and Toronto fans are enraptured and ready to have a parade down Yonge Street.

    On one hand, I suppose, it’s understandable: They’ll never have a real reason for a parade. At least, I suspect, not in my lifetime. Not as long as current ownership exists and keeps hiring the likes of John Ferguson Jr. to run the show.

    Nik Antropov gets a two-year, $4.1-million US contract extension? Case closed.

    Look, I’m a Leaf fan, too. Been one as long as I’ve followed hockey. That’s more than 40 years. But I must admit my only allegiance to the so-called Leaf Nation is to tweak members at every opportunity I get.

    They’re so annoying. Back-to-back wins in November is enough to send them scurrying to the streets, flags attached to their car windows, horns honking, screams of ecstasy piercing the night.

    Sheesh.

    And in the case of the Senators, nothing wrong with hating them or cheering for the Ducks. But don’t lose perspective. It’s not Ottawa’s fault Toronto sucks. Remember, Ottawa woke up this morning as Stanley Cup finalists. They also head into training camp knowing they’ll be contenders for the crown yet again.

    The Leafs and their fans woke up this morning a day older and not an inch closer to even making the playoffs.

  3. woulda been nice to play a run and gun team rather than boring trap bullshit, but i guess that's what it takes. too bad.

    I wouldn't say that Anaheim played boring trap bullshit. They played hard and were much faster on the puck than Ottawa. The giveaways were the killer. eg Alfie's giveaway to Perry for the last goal.

    Now New Jersey plays boring trap bullshit and Ottawa smoked them.

  4. This is a hard lesson to learn.

    NEW YORK (AP) - A man has sued the maker of the health drink Boost Plus, claiming the vitamin-enriched beverage gave him an erection that would not subside and caused him to be hospitalized.

    The lawsuit filed by Christopher Woods of New York said he bought the nutrition beverage made by the pharmaceutical company Novartis AG at a drugstore on June 5, 2004, and drank it.

    Woods' court papers say he woke up the next morning "with an erection that would not subside" and sought treatment that day for the condition, called severe priapism.

    They say Woods, 29, underwent surgery for implantation of a Winter shunt, which moves blood from one area to another.

    The lawsuit, filed late Monday, says Woods later had problems that required a hospital visit and penile artery embolization, a way of closing blood vessels. Closing off some blood flow prevents engorgement and lessens the likelihood of an erection.

    Woods' lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, names Novartis Consumer Health Inc. as a defendant. A spokeswoman for the company, Brandi Robinson, said Tuesday the company was aware of the lawsuit but does not comment on pending litigation.

    Woods' lawyer did not return telephone calls for comment Tuesday.

    Novartis' Boost Plus Web site describes the drink as "a great tasting, high calorie, nutritionally complete oral supplement for people who require extra energy and protein in a limited volume," in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.
